Why "In His View"?

I thought I would write a post just to explain the name I gave my blog. (This post was on my profile, but I moved it for organizational purposes).

"In His View" has two points to it. I first took it from Genesis chapter 16 in the Old Testement. In this story, Hagar, a maid from Egypt, has fled from her jealous mistress Sarai's home, after becoming pregnant by Sarai's husband Abram (according to Sarai's plan, mind you). As Hagar flees from her mistress, an angel of the Lord comes to her, tells her to return to Sarai, and gives her promises of blessing from the Lord. After this, Hagar (the despised servant) gives Yawheh, the God of Israel, her own name for Him, which translates as "You are the God who sees me". The Lord God sees all, the high and low, the praised and the despised, and no one is ever out of His view. I know that this is true for me (whether I am at home in Minnesota, lost in an airport who knows where, or here in Brazil) and it is true for everyone who trusts in the Lord.

The other part is that I (and we all) would desire and pursue a view of life which is like God's. "Man does not look at the things man looks at- man looks at the outside, but the LORD looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). As I am here in Brazil I am asking the Lord to help me see the people I meet and the situations I am in as He sees them. I know that His way is perfect, and I want to choose His road.
May we all be in His view.
