Chaplain’s Corner I See You Playing hide and seek is not something we generally
and seen by God even as she was hiding from the rest of the world. What comfort and hope that is for us also, from the God Who Sees Me. Psalm 139 goes into detail on just how God sees us in our lives, even if we feel we are alone. He sees us as we sit and get up (Psalm 139:2). He guides us and places His hand upon us (Psalm 139:5). David, the writer, goes on to describe potential hiding places from God — high places and deep places (Psalm 139:8), going far away (Psalm 139:9), darkness (Psalm 139:11-12). None of those places will hide us from the sight and presence of God! The Psalm also describes the earliest moments of our lives, when God first saw us. The time we spent in our mother’s womb was seen by God. Psalm 139:15-16 beautifully describe this experience. “My body was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body: all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” From our beginning, His eyes have seen us. God knows exactly what we will be facing in our lives, so we can rest assured He will continue to see us. We have the wonderful assurance because of the faith God gives us in Jesus. When we close our eyes for the final time and awaken, we can trust that Jesus will see us, and we will also be able to say to Him, “I see you!”
partake in as adults. We may have spent hours as children hiding from friends, cousins,
and family members, trying to find the perfect hiding place so we could be found last. Do you remember the excitement of those days? Perhaps you also have had the opportunity with your grandchildren or great-grandchildren to play hide and seek. It has been a favorite with our grandkids. They could spend hours hiding and searching for us and each other. It is even getting more daring with the older ones; we play in the dark. Some lights are needed, though, or it becomes too scary. We play and wait to hear or say the words “I see you!” Playing the game of hide and seek reminded me of a recent devotion I read from Genesis 16. Hagar, a slave for Abraham and Sarai, had run away from the situation she was facing. She was in the desert alone by a spring alongside the road she had traveled on. Hagar had faced mistreatment, and I imagine she felt abandoned and alone from all others. More than likely, it seemed no one would even come to look for her. An angel of the Lord appeared to her; scholars believe this was Jesus before he came to earth as a human. He gave advice and hope for her future and the child she carried in her womb. What was her response? She gave the Angel of the Lord the name. “You are the God who sees me.” Hagar was found
