HE SEES THE SINNER

Posted on

“That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.”             Genesis 16:14 NIV

 

By birth, Hagar, like all of us, was a sinner. Yet, the eye of the Lord was upon her. She ran away, but she could not get away from the gaze of the One Who sees. If you are lost, you may think the Lord doesn’t think about you. The truth is, He sees all we do. He is there when the thought of sin is conceived. He is there when the deed of sin is carried out. He will be watching when the sentence of sin is carried out. Imagine the difference in any trial held on this planet, if the judge enters the courtroom and says, “I saw it all!” Well, the Lord of heaven and earth can and will say that! There will be no hiding. But the One who knows the past and the future, and says to us as He said to Hagar, “Return and submit?” That is the place of promised blessing. We are also told that this well is located between Kadesh and Bered. Kadesh means “holiness” and Bered means “hail” or “judgment.” Here is the well of grace, lying between holiness and judgment. When we begin to stray from the place of God’s blessing toward the certainty of judgment, God meets us on the way, at the well of grace, saying, “Now wait a minute. I don’t want to have to make this known to others. I don’t want to judge you openly. I don’t want to bring trial or affliction or heartache into your life to make you listen. Listen now. Return and submit so I won’t have to do this.” That is the well of grace. Will you drink from the well of grace?

 

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord, thank You that we can return to drink from Your well of grace.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord, You see everything in our lives, even our sin, and You call us to drink from Your well of grace, returning to You, submitting to You and finding life in Your name. AMEN
