GOD SEES YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

PASTOR GREG SIMON

 

Psalm 139:1-3 NLT
“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.”

Genesis 16:13 NLT
“Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, ‘You are the God who sees me.’ She also said, ‘Have I truly seen the One who sees me?’”

— Hagar learned something new about the Lord. You’ll learn something new about God’s goodness and love as you trust Him.

DON’T HIDE FROM GOD

Genesis 16:8 MEV
“And he said, ‘Hagar, Sarai’s maid, where have you come from and where are you going?’ And she said, ‘I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.’”

Genesis 3:8-9 NLT
“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’”

COME TO GOD’S THRONE
Hebrews 4:16 NLT
“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”

Romans 12:12a TLB
“Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in hope, and prayerful always.”

DON’T QUIT WHEN PEOPLE OVERLOOK YOU

1 Samuel 16:10-11 NLT
“In the same way all seven of Jesse’s sons were presented to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, ‘The Lord has not chosen any of these.’
11 Then Samuel asked, ‘Are these all the sons you have?’ ‘There is still the youngest,’ Jesse replied. ‘But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and goats.’ ‘Send for him at once,’ Samuel said. ‘We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.’”

Comedian Michael Jr: “Imagine that you were made out of wood, and there is a door shaped exactly like you that God wants you to walk through. God will send sandpaper in the form of conflict to rub the knots down so you can fit through the door He has for you.”
