But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. Malachi 4:2

And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

EL ROI (The Living One Who sees / Who looks after you)

Hagar's story, found in Genesis 16 and 21, carries profound truths about God’s nature and His care for the marginalized. Hagar, an Egyptian servant to Sarah, finds herself caught in a situation not of her making. Sarah, in an attempt to help God fulfill His promise, gives Hagar to Abraham to bear a child. This decision, stemming from a lack of faith, leads to tension and conflict.

When Hagar becomes pregnant, she looks down on Sarah, which causes Sarah to treat her harshly. Feeling oppressed, Hagar flees to the wilderness, a place of isolation and danger. It is here that God reveals Himself to Hagar as El Roi, "the Living One who sees" (Genesis 16:13). This encounter is a powerful reminder that God sees and cares for those who are mistreated and overlooked. He sends Hagar back with a promise that her son, Ishmael, will also have a significant future.

Later, in Genesis 21, Hagar and Ishmael are sent away with only a bottle of water. When the water runs out, Hagar, in despair, places Ishmael under a bush and distances herself, not wanting to watch him die. But God hears the boy’s cries and sends an angel to reassure Hagar, opening her eyes to a well of water. This divine intervention again highlights God’s faithfulness and His attentiveness to those in need.

The story of Hagar is more than just about her, Sarah, and Abraham. It’s about God who sees and intervenes. Despite the circumstances, God’s plan unfolds. Ishmael, though not the child of promise, becomes the father of twelve princes, showing that God’s blessings can emerge even from human failures (Genesis 25:16).

The Apostle Paul, in Galatians 4:21-31, contrasts Hagar and Sarah to illustrate living under the law versus living under grace. Hagar represents the old covenant of the law, while Sarah represents the new covenant of grace. This story is ultimately about God and His sovereignty. It’s a reminder that whatever role we play in life’s spectrum—whether like Hagar or someone else—God is at work, and it’s all for His glory.

If you have ever felt like a victim of circumstances, forced into situations beyond your control, Hagar’s story is a message of hope. It tells us that God sees you. You may not see what lies ahead, and your future may seem uncertain, but trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The God who saw Hagar in her distress sees you too. Trust in Him, for He is faithful and His promises are sure. Lift your eyes to Him, find peace in His care, and know that He is working all things for His glory and your good.

This is one of the ways to check if you are waging the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience (1 Tim. 1:18-19):
- are you quick to listen?
- slow to speak? and
- slow to anger?
This need to start at home.

I've heard the illustration of refining silver in fire to remove all impurities. It's compared to the pruning work of the Father in His children's lives. But it's only once a piece of silver is refined that the actual work begins. The end product of the Perfect Silversmith is always pristine because His work is perfect. He settles for nothing less than perfection. Getting rid of all the impurities is just the beginning of the process of reaching that point of pristine perfection, which requires a lot of shaping and filing. Remain faithful; He will finish what He has begun.

FAITH is a going out of ourselves to find a resting place in God and His word.

“As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and JOSHUA ACTED ACCORDINGLY; he did not turn aside a thing from all which the Lord commanded Moses.” Joshua 11:15

Notice that phrase 'Joshua acted accordingly'.

The key to rest in our lives is to trust that God’s way is the best and to yield to Him completely. That is what Joshua did and so there was rest in the land (Josh. 11:23).

There is no rest without yielding to God’s will. Just like Joshua, we all have our own battles to fight. But victory is already promised in Christ, so we just have to stand our ground in Him. Apostle Paul calls it "The Obedience of Faith" (Rom. 1:5, 16:26).

Trust in the El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient One, for whatever you are facing. Live according to His will. He is ENOUGH!

“For though the Lord is high, He regards the lowly, but the haughty He knows from afar.” Psalm 138:6

What is humility?

Humility is knowing how great God is [FULLSTOP]. King David knew that truth, so he penned the next two verses: (Ps. 138:7-8)

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
YOU preserve my life;
YOU stretch out YOUR hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and YOUR right hand delivers me.

The LORD will fulfill HIS purpose for me;
YOUR steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of YOUR hands.”

THE BOTTOMLINE: I am nothing without GOD! It is all about GOD!

If that much is not clear yet, then life is miserable. Because pride drains and it comes naturally to all. Pride is catchy: “Survival of the fittest”, “By hook or by crook”, “You deserve better” …etc.

In Matthew 15:34, “And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

Now, go to your closet, which is the most probable place to find GOD and say, “Here am I, LORD! Seven loaves and a few small fish. I want to see YOU. I want to know YOU. I want to experience YOU. I want to live for YOUR glory. Work YOUR miracle in and through me for YOUR sake!”

When you seek His glory, you will find your humility.

"They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose; they are far from your law. But you are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are true." Ps. 119:150-151

The Psalmist sees evil approaching, but he is more aware of God’s presence with him.

The fact that God is already with us is not just our confidence, but is joy and celebration. Problems and pain are inevitable in this sin-ridden world, but welcome 2023 joyfully because of your hope of glory in Christ Jesus, the Lord, Who is with you and in you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN CHRIST! 😃

"Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation." Ps. 111:1

How good is the Lord, who has always been there, whether in your wilderness or the mountain top. Praise the Lord!

"A bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice." Isaiah 42:3

Like a cupping hand around the flickering candle, and gentle fingers around the bent reed, so does God's grace cover His child in the painful and hurting moments. In times like that "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Ps. 34:18). So you better be still and know His nearness (Ps. 46:10) in such times. Why? Because:

(1.) You will make things worse by leaving His grace; and
(2.) when God is for you, none can stand against you (Rom 8:31).

So, be strong in the strength of His might (Eph. 6:10), believing that He will never allow anything in your life that He has not purposed (Jer. 29:11).
