YOU ARE THE GOD WHO SEES ME

Date : Dec 08, 2019
Passage : Genesis 16:1~16
Keyverse : 13

1. Sarah and Hagar (1-6).

10 years had passed but God's promise was not fulfilled. Sarah's patience ran out. She felt sorry to Abram that she gave her slave to him according to her contemporary practice. Abram should have refused her, instead of listening to her like Adam. Then unexpectedly Hagar despised Sarah when she was pregnant. Sarah and Abram argued blaming each other. The spiritual order was broken at home. Sarah mistreated Hagar and she fled. Now the whole thing massed up.

2. I have seen the One who sees me (7-16).

But God had mercy on Hagar because of Abram. He found her and gave the direction to return and submit herself to her mistress. Hagar obeyed God being greatly comforted and thanked for God's grace and promise even toward a slave girl confessing, " I have now seen the One who sees me." Thus she bore Abraham a son, Ishmael in his 86 years old. But the result of the human idea would give history long headaches too.


Application: Lord, you are the one who sees and helps us up to our mistakes. However, help us not to be impatient but have faith in you and your word!
One Word: I have seen the One who sees me
