January 5 ... Genesis 16 - 18 "You are the One Who Sees Me"

Gen. 16:1 - "God didn't see fit" to do this _______ for me so I'll help Him along a little bit. Oh my! How I do things like Hagar...God hasn't grown my ministry so I'll strategize and do this _____. I don't want to live making things happen that God hasn't made happen. I LOVED Gen 18:1---God showed up when Abraham was just sitting at the door of his house---just sitting. But his heart was right with God while he sat. And I am so stirred by the humble (immoral) Hagar, a nobody, just a servant, yet she knew God by Name and said such touching words for me: "YOU are the One Who sees me. HE saw me, then I saw!" He sees me right now sitting on my red couch; I pray we will all see a little different today. Just prayed that the ONE Who sees you this moment will show up for you this day and you have eyes to see and ears to hear Him.

    Oooh...take care Kim. Hope you're much better today. Asking that it's short-lived.

    It was encouraging to be reminded today that God is the One Who Sees me. Nothing that I am going through escapes His notice. And then to follow that up two chapters later with the reminder that nothing is too hard for God. How grateful I am to be His daughter because I can cast all of my cares upon Him. They're too much for me...

    You probably answered this already, but Bev (and others) how are you reading through the Bible?

    I am doing a long catch up today so I can follow the January 1st timeline. I am reading the Bible chronologically in the Message translation.. What are you all doing.. I would love to be on the same timeline with at least a few of you, so we can chat about what we are learning.

    Thanks, Kim

    Bev,

    Nothing is too hard for God. If I'm honest, I've had days that I felt things were too hard for me. I am sorry that you dropped your meds on the floor today and how discouraging that may have been. Know that I am praying for you today.

    Rod and I are trying to find your current address. Would you be able to email it to me at hurstmom@sbcglobal.net?

    Know that you are loved.

    Gen 17:1-3 really spoke to me today: When Abram was ninety-nine years old, God showed up and said to him, "I am The Strong God, live entirely before me, live to the hilt! I'll make a covenant between us and I'll give you a huge family." Overwhelmed, Abram fell flat on his face.

    God showed up - how many times has He shown up for me, too many to count and always on time. He said, I AM the Strong God - we need to remember that, He is not some god with a little G, He is the Great I Am! We need to live life to the hilt for Him. Overwhelmed Abram fell flat on his face. I need to fall flat on my face more often.
