MFM Daily Devotional 3 February 2025 Message

The Hebrew name of God, El-Roi, is mentioned once In the Bible by someone that seems to be relatively unknown and insignificant.

Hagar was a maid to Sarai, Abraham’s wife. Sarai, impatient and unwilling to wait for God to fulfil His promise according to His timing, told her husband to have a child through her Egyptian maid, Hagar. Abraham agreed and Hagar gave birth to Ishmael. However, when Hagar becomes Abraham’s other wife, she becomes rude to Sarai and mocks her.

Sarai became angry and reported Hagar to Abraham who told her to do whatever pleased her since Hagar was her maid. Sarai tormented Hagar so much that she ran away from home to the desert with Ishmael, her son. In the desert, they had no food or water and the baby cried incessantly. Hagar was highly distressed.

She cried to God for help as she feared that her baby could die of hunger and thirst. An angel of God appeared to her and showed her a well of water. The angel also revealed to her the destiny of Ishmael, her son. Finally, the angel told her to return home and submit to her boss or mistress, Sarai. Through this encounter, Hagar experienced the intervention of God, His help and comfort in the precarious situation she and her son found themselves in.

She had thought that she and her child were all alone in the desert and that no one saw them and that help was never going to come their way. Truly, the place was deserted, lonely and dry. However, God gave her a pleasant surprise. He proved that He saw Hagar and her baby. He heard their cry. He valued them and reached out to save and help them. That is why Hagar called the God who saw, heard, valued and rescued her and her child El-Roi- The God who sees her.

God saw Hagar, her plight, her pain, her maltreatment, her tears, her lack of need, her concern for the life of her child, and her desperate need for help and intervention. God also saw that human help was far out of her sight and reach. He chose to reach out to her and save her and her child, providing a well and giving her words of comfort and assurance. The Same God will appear in your situation today!
