"Hagar thought, 'Have I truly observed God and lived to tell about it?' So from that point on she called Him, 'The God Who Sees Me.'"
Genesis 16:13
Have you ever battled with feeling like a complete no one... like the imperceptible man who doesn't actually appear to get taken note? Deplorably, bunches of individuals experience this enthusiastic illness.
In the film Chicago, an entering melody is sung by John C. Reilly named Mr. Cellophane. The hold back peruses as follows:
Cellophane
Mr Cellophane
Shoulda been my name
Mr Cellophane
'Cause you can look directly through me
Walk directly by me
What's more, never know I'm there.
It is undoubtedly dismal when you feel like Mr. Cellophane. Almost certainly, numerous self destruction casualties would state that tune from Chicago caught their biography.
In any case, the uplifting news is this present: it's false! Nobody is Mr. Cellophane! God is the God who sees you! His name is El Roi, "the God who sees me." And in addition to the fact that God sees you and me, yet He pays special mind to you and me, as well. He sees our circumstance and our bitterness, and He goes to our guide. He is genuinely "a companion who sticks nearer than a sibling" (Proverbs 18:24).
GOD WINKS ARE LITTLE REMINDERS THAT GOD SEES YOU
A brilliant woman in my congregation acquainted me with the term, a God wink. A God wink is the Lord demonstrating you in an undeniable, unmistakable, and individual way that He sees you ... that He recognizes what you are experiencing ... that He wants to think about it. Has God winked at you recently?
Quite a while back, I ended up at a somewhat exhausting service supper meeting. To help breathe easy, I started retaining the names of the apparent multitude of individuals on the stage, around 14 altogether. One exceptionally peaceful and saved woman went to my congregation alongside her better half (a congregation of 3500 attenders at that point). I had seen her now and again from a good ways, however that night I put forth the attempt to remember her name.
Half a month later, I was welcoming individuals at the ways to the congregation. At the point when she dropped by, I gave her a healthy "hello!" and called her by name, not contemplating it. A couple of days after the fact, be that as it may, I got a note from her via the post office. She revealed to me the amount it intended to her that in a congregation our size, I knew her name. It caused her to feel so extraordinary before the Lord. It was a God wink second, no doubt. Despite the fact that she didn't express it thusly, it was an El Roi experience. God sees me, little ole me!
THE GREATEST MIRACLES ARE SOMETIMES SMALL
We like to discuss the incredible supernatural occurrences of the Bible. Who hates finding out about the splitting of the Red Sea, the taking care of the 5,000, and the restoration of Lazarus? Extraordinary wonders are incredible gifts that expansion our confidence. In any case, let's face it, extraordinary wonders are not ordinary events, right? God is absolutely the God of the powerful, yet He is additionally the God who works in the normal. He is the God who frequently winks at us as an every day update that He sees us and thinks about us.
There have been times throughout my life when I have felt alone in a battle or a preliminary. In my agony, I have shouted out to the Lord, "Give me an indication for good" (Psalm 86:17). Furthermore, God has addressed that petition through an email of consolation, a call of concern, or a startling visit of appreciation. God has winked at me in direct reaction to my petition to tell me He is still El Roi. He actually observes me.
Recognition God for the Red Sea supernatural occurrences … and acclaim God for the little winks of affection!
MR. CELLOPHANE?
Try not to go one more moment accepting the villain's untruth that you are not significant and extraordinary to God. You are so essential to God that He yielded His own Son to recover your spirit. Cast your considerations upon Him, since He thinks about you (see 1 Peter 5:7). Approach Him today for a God wink and see what occurs. Who knows, this very post you are perusing could be God's method of telling you He sees you, right where you are. He knows your name, and He will oversee you as you confide in Him.
