Today, while reading the Our Daily Bread insight, I am reminded that God saw me every second of every day my entire life. Reflecting back on it I now can see that He was there the whole time while I was running as fast as I could away from His helping hand.
In Genesis chapter 16 God blesses Hagar with a son, Ishmael. Hagar was lonely. Sarah was being mean to Hagar and Abraham was told by God to send her and Ishmael away. God promised Hagar that everything would be O.K. and that he had seen her loneliness. The descendants of Ishmael would be given all of the land in the area except that one little sliver, Israel.
My heart breaks when I read this story. I have empathy for Hagar. She was treated badly after she became pregnant from Abraham. Sarah gave her servant Hagar to Abraham so he would have a son that God promised, but, they were not patient with God. So the complications began.
God saw me when I was in prison. I was protected by him. I was provided for. I lived to tell the experience. God was watching me when I was drinking 1750ml a day of Vodka. Not to glorify but to tell you all how far I was down. I had to get sobered up a bit to even see the blessings God had given me my whole life. How He carried me through it all. My job now is to tell all of you guys that God sees you even if you don't think so.
When have you noticed God watching over you? It is not tough to see when my heart is in a thankful state all of the time. I have things I do not like, but, I focus on the good now. It has truly changed my heart. I just noticed some real changes in me the other day. It took a while. lol
