Even When We Feel Invisible Or Forgotten...God Sees Us

She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, “You’re the God who sees me! [El Roi] “Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!”  (Genesis 16:13)

It's the only time we see God referred to by this name in the Bible, which speaks to how profoundly intimate and personal the encounter was. Here it was that Hagar, a mere maidservant, despised and overwhelmed with despair, has an encounter with God that helps her recognise that no matter how invisible or insignificant she may be to the world, God still sees her. 

Our guest this week, Ms. Joanna Hioe, has a conversation with our host - Kareem O J Lee, about her own intimate encounters with The God Who Sees Us. She highlights how, just as in the days of Hagar, God is still touched by our individual struggles, and intentionally comes alongside us with care and compassion, even in the obscure places.

Joanna Hioe is a creative from Singapore, who has been uniquely crafted by the Creator. Having experienced God's transforming love, she seeks to express His wonders through words, songs, and videos. She is currently pursuing a PhD focused on disaster management. She loves a good adventure!

We begin this podcast by looking at the revelation found in 1 Samuel 16:6-7 and the difference between how man sees and judges and how God sees and judges. Beware of the base and fallen inclination of man. We should not be so quick to judge, especially before the time, because what may not be apparent presently, may actually be found on the day of the Lord.  For good and for evil, the deception is real. We need to trust that when it all comes down to it, we need to wait on the Lord and trust His judgment because He alone knows the hearts of men. We also need to trust when He judges. Let's not get ahead of His judgment because appearances can be deceiving.
