Dear Friends,
Isn’t it amazing how the same words can provoke different emotions in different people? Take the words, “Thou God see-est me”. Today’s devotional will help you see how you may feel about them and how to find real comfort from them. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Genesis 16:3
Genesis 16:3 ESV
3 So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife.
Genesis 16:3
“‘Thou God seest me,’ is a note of the most serious kind when sounded in the sinner’s ear; but, to those who are the people of God, there is nothing melancholy in the thought that God sees us. There is nothing to cause us to despond or to make us feel gloomy in the fact that God compasses our path and our lying down. In fact, in proportion as we are fully reconciled to God, and love him, and rejoice in him, it will become a cause of joy to reflect that our best Friend is never away from us, that our Protector’s hand is never removed, that the great observant eye of divine love is never closed.” [Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLV, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1899), p. 73]
