DAVID: 6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you    while you may be found;  surely the rising of the mighty waters    will not reach them. 7 You are my hiding place;    you will protect me from trouble    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

 GOD: 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. 

Psalm 32

Page 5: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. 13 From heaven the LORD looks down    and sees all mankind; 14 from his dwelling place he watches    all who live on earth— 15 he who forms the hearts of all,    who considers everything they do.

Psalm 33

Page 6: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;    no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;    despite all its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death    and keep them alive in famine.

Page 7: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.

 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34

Page 8: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

1 I waited patiently for the LORD;    he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,    out of the mud and mire;  he set my feet on a rock    and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth,    a hymn of praise to our God.  Many will see and fear the LORD    and put their trust in him.

Psalm 40

GOD’S EYES WATCH OVER YOU!

Page 10: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

“Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”

ZECHARIAH 4:10

Page 12: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

Genesis 16

The God who sees!

Page 14: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

6 “Your slave is in your hands,” Abram said. “Do with her whatever you think best.” Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her. 7 The angel of the LORD found Hagar near a spring in the desert…8 And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”

   “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.

 

Hagar fled from Sarai to the desert

9 Then the angel of the LORD told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.”

 11 The angel of the LORD also said to her:    “You are now pregnant 

   and you will give birth to a son.  You shall name him Ishmael,   for the LORD has heard of your misery. 12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;    his hand will be against everyone    and everyone’s hand against him,  and he will live in hostility    toward all his brothers.”

The Angel of the Lord=Jesus in the Old Testament

 13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” 14 That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

Ishmael means God hears.

Beer Lahai Roi means: well of the Living One who sees me

The God who sees me!

Psalm 1:6For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 121:5The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

Psalm 127:1Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards

stand watch in vain.

THE LORD WATCHES OVER YOU!

Page 18: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

Psalm 145:20The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

Psalm 146:9The LORD watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

THE LORD WATCHES OVER YOU!

Page 19: You are not alone.  Many men and women of God felt like that in the Bible.  Job  Moses  Jacob  Joseph  David.

Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory,    because of your love and faithfulness.

 2 Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. 4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. 5 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. 6 They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. 7 They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk,    nor can they utter a sound with their throats. 8 Those who make them will be like them,    and so will all who trust in them.

PSALM 115: Idols don’t see or listen.
