Genesis 16:13
How do we respond when life feels unfair? The story of Sarai and Hagar is filled with tension and heartbreak. Sarai, frustrated by waiting on God's promise, takes matters into her own hands, leading to conflict with Hagar. But in the midst of this pain, God steps in. When Hagar feels abandoned and unseen, God reveals Himself as the “God who sees.” This story reminds us that even when we feel overlooked or caught in the struggles of life, God sees us. He knows our pain and responds with compassion. Today, trust that God sees you in your most difficult moments and is with you, offering hope and healing.
