Thursday: The God Who Sees

Anchor Verse:

Luke 12:6-7 (NIV) “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”

In a Nutshell:

God sees and values each of us deeply. No matter how small or insignificant we may feel, we are never invisible to Him.

Unpacking the Word:

In a world that often overlooks the individual, God’s personal care for us is astounding. Luke 12:6-7 illustrates this truth with the image of sparrows—common and seemingly unremarkable, yet not forgotten by God. If He values sparrows, how much more does He cherish us?

The story of Hagar in Genesis highlights this truth. When she felt abandoned and unseen, she called God “El Roi,” the God who sees. This name reveals God’s intimate awareness of our struggles and His active presence in our lives.

When life feels lonely or overwhelming, remember that God’s love is personal. He sees every detail, even the number of hairs on your head. This awareness should fill us with confidence and comfort, knowing we are always on His mind.

Pause and Reflect:

• When have you felt unseen or overlooked, and how did God’s presence bring comfort?
• How does knowing God sees every detail of your life change your perspective?
• What steps can you take to trust in His care more fully?

Faith in Action:

1. Spend time in prayer, thanking God for His personal care.
2. Reach out to someone who might feel overlooked and show them God’s love.
3. Meditate on a psalm that speaks of God’s intimate care, like Psalm 139.

A Moment With God:

Praise God for being El Roi, the God who sees you. Ask Him to help you rest in His loving awareness.rk in your life.l plans. Praise Him for being a steadfast refuge.
