God sees all and is never caught by surprise. The story recounts Hagar running away after being mistreated, but finding comfort that God sees her distress as El Roi. It encourages that however lonely one may feel, God overlooks none and watches over all. God knows our hearts and paths, and can come to our aid when tested or tried. We should keep our eyes on God as El Roi who never takes his eyes off us.

understand that the Lord is aware of our pain
and need, our strength will be renewed. God
not only sees us, He sees the future. He
promised Hagar a future for her unborn son
Ishmael. We too have hope for tomorrow,
whatever our pain is today.

14. Maybe like Hagar you're also running from a
difficult situation in which you were unjustly
treated and maybe like Hagar you were part of
the problem. Take comfort in the truth that El
Roi sees your distress. He has heard how
you've have been spoken to.

15. in the lonely places, where danger and
uncertainty lurk on every side, God’s children
are not really a`lone. God overlooks none; He
sees them all.

16. For the ways of a man are before the EYES of
the LORD and He watches ALL his paths.
There is no hiding from El Roi Who watches
over you, seeing and knowing all that
happens, and "He is able to come to the aid of
those who are (being continuously) tempted
(tested or tried)" (Heb 2:18).

17. Psalms 139
David prays: (23) Search me, O God and know
my heart; Try me and know my anxious
thoughts. (24) and SEE if there be any hurtful
way in me and lead me in the everlasting way.

18. Proverbs 5:21 (NASB95)
21 For the ways of a man are before the
eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths.

19. Keep your eyes on the Lord;
He never takes His eyes off you.
And because this is eternally true of the Name
of the Lord, El Roi...
Let Everything that has Breath Praise Him
