And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
It is but just to set up tokens of praise, where God hath set up banners of love. Reader! pray pause over this verse. Then remember, that the same eye which looked on Hagar, looks on you, on me, on all. An all-present God, must be an all-seeing God. And is the eye of Jesus indeed upon me? Surely then it is upon me for good. For though my secret sins are in the light of his countenance; yet doth he not also see my sorrow for them, my trouble under them, and my desire to be freed from the guilt and dominion of them? Precious Redeemer! how ought a sense of these things to endear thy blood and righteousness to my soul.
