God Sees and Hears

This morning I read the following verse: “Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, "You are the God who sees me." She also said, "Have I truly seen the One who sees me?" (Genesis 16:13 NLT)

Hagar, desperate and vulnerable, feels all alone in the desert—But God sees her, hears her cry, instructs her, comforts and strengthens her.

God sees and hears everything. He senses our pain, anguish, and fears. We are not alone, EVER.

A few hours after I read the above verse, I heard the following song for the first time:

‘Whom Shall I Fear’ (or ‘God of Angel Armies’ by Chris Tomlin)
You hear me when I call
You are my morning song
Though darkness fills the night
It cannot hide the Light
Whom Shall I Fear…
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side
The one who reigns forever
He is a friend of mine
The God of Angel Armies
Is always by my side (song lyrics by Chris Tomlin)

The above verse about Hagar and hearing the song a few hours later—felt like a divine tap on the head. I sent the song link to my phone and listened to it several times. I think the lyrics of the song came from the Book of Job. Job was a good man who was dealt some really bad cards. Yet, he stayed faithful and trusting, despite his terrible circumstances.

So no matter what we are dealing with today, we too can find strength knowing that the God of Angel Armies goes before us, stands behind us, and is always by our side.
