This powerful name for God, revealed to Hagar in the wilderness (Genesis 16:13), speaks to the deep truth that no matter where we are, no matter how alone or unnoticed we may feel, God sees us. He sees our struggles, our pain, our desires, and our hopes. Hagar, abandoned and heartbroken, found in El Roi not only the comfort of divine attention but the assurance of God's compassion and care.
El Roi reminds us that God does not overlook the brokenhearted or the forgotten. He is always watching, always near, and always ready to respond. When we feel unseen by the world, we can take comfort in knowing that the Creator of the universe sees us with perfect understanding and love. His gaze is full of grace, and His presence is a refuge.
In every season of life, El Roi calls us to trust in His unfailing attention and to remember that we are never truly alone.
