Seen in the Wilderness
Hagar ran into the wilderness alone and overlooked. There God found her, called her by name, and she named Him the God who sees.
Hagar ran into the wilderness alone and overlooked. There God found her, called her by name, and she named Him the God who sees.
Hagar named God, saying, ‘You are a God who sees,’ for she said, ‘Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?’
A prayer for the days when we feel invisible, remembering that God sees us where we are.
Hagar was alone in the desert when God found her. You are never so far that He cannot see you.
Scripture is not merely read. When it is received as the word of God, it quietly goes to work in the person who believes.
You accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
A prayer that the word received would keep working quietly and deeply in the life of the believer.
The word of God does not stop at your ears. Once it is received, it goes to work in the person who believes.
God gave us these words for the hard seasons. Through the Scriptures we find endurance, encouragement and hope, read in the dark rather than the light.
Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
