Have you ever been in a situation where you don’t feel there will be a good outcome or a way out? Maybe you feel alone and you don’t have any support? Well, that is exactly how Hagar felt so she ran away from her situation. But she found herself in the wilderness, feeling completely alone… but was she? Nope! God saw her! ”Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” Genesis‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬a ‭NLT‬‬ He saw her mess (that she helped make), her distress, her isolation. Even though she wasn’t where she was supposed to be, God met her where she was! Hagar also recognized God. Hagar was an Egyptian. Her culture had many Gods. But being in Abraham’s household, she knew about his God, the one true God. And He was showing Himself to her, a lowly servant girl, who has made a mess of things. She recognized He was showing up for her; with compassion and understanding! “She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?”“ Genesis‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬b ‭NLT‬‬ (Emphasis added from AMP)
