Genesis 16:11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her: “Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has listened to your affliction. He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.” So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”, for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”
What a passage! Hagar is on the run, fleeing from Sarai’s jealous anger, when the angel of the LORD “finds” her. He knew exactly where she was when she was all alone; He knew exactly what her predicament was even though is was a “family secret”; He cared about here condition and her future. She knew He was there and He cared. The “God Who Sees” knows all the same about each one of us. The question is whether we will continue to run and hide or turn to the God Who Sees.
