If a person had the power to see everything, would

that person know a lot? What is possible to do with

so much information? Is there a person that actually

can see everything?

The Scripture tells us that Hagar was a woman that

God saw and heard of her problem. Hagar was pregnant

with the child of Abraham and very sad because she

had been mistreated at the hand of Sarah. God spoke

to her in her distress and counseled her also. The

impact of her encounter with God was so great that

she called God by a special name.(Gen 16:9)

Jesus tells us that God sees even the things done

in secret (Mat 6:6). Job tells us that God sees

everything under the heavens and views to the ends

of the earth(Job 28:24). Job tells us that He sees

every step of a man and there is no place an evil

person can hide (Job 34:21-22). The Psalmist tells

us that God watches all mankind from His dwelling

place. The Scripture tells us that one day God will

judge us by what He has seen and heard (Heb 9:27).

The Scripture tells us another purpose in His view

and ever present eye on mankind is to support us.

As with Hagar, He watches and listens in our lives,

to help us. "For the eyes of the LORD range throughout

the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully

committed to him." (2Chr 16:9)

Let us remember who is the God that sees all things.

God's name is Jehová El Roi. He is the God that sees

the needs of His people, to be the moral conscience

and strength daily, and to strongly support those

whose hearts are truly His. Lift your hands to Him

and Praise Him today for the fact that He is the

all-seeing God today!
