| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:09.0 | Our reading, titled God Sees You, was written by Katera Patton. |
| 0:14.2 | Get down, my friend said firmly to her son after he climbed onto the church pew and waved his hands. |
| 0:22.7 | I want the pastor to see me, |
| 0:29.6 | he innocently replied. If I don't stand up, he won't see me. While standing on the pews is probably not encouraged to most churches, my friend's son had a good point. Standing and waving his |
| 0:35.5 | hands was certainly one way to be seen and to capture the pastor's attention. |
| 0:40.6 | When we're trying to get God's attention, we don't have to worry about being seen by him. |
| 0:45.8 | God sees each of us all the time. He's the same one who revealed himself to Hagar in Genesis 16 |
| 0:52.8 | when she was probably at the lowest, |
| 0:55.2 | loneliest, most frustrating time in her life. She'd been used as a pawn and given to |

| 1:30.2 | What a realization, especially in the midst of the wilderness. God saw Hagar and had compassion. |
| 1:37.1 | And no matter how tough things are, he sees you. |
| 1:51.0 | Today's Our Daily Bread devotional scripture reading is from Genesis chapter 16 verses 9 through 16. |
| 2:02.2 | Then the angel of the Lord told her, go back to your mistress and submit to her. The angel added, I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count. The angel of the Lord also said to her, you are now pregnant, and you will give birth to a son. |
| 2:10.0 | You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man. |
| 2:16.8 | His hand will be against everyone and everyone's |
| 2:19.1 | hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers. She gave this name to the |
