“For his eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps” Job 34:21

Which of our five senses is the most essential? While all are crucial, the most important sensory organ is arguably the eye. Up to 80% of all impressions we perceive come through sight. Even if other senses like taste or smell fail, sight remains the primary protector against danger.

But do we see as much as we should? Our hurried lives limit us to the urgent, often at the expense of deeper perception. How many things go unnoticed in our daily lives?

We live in a world of crisis, facing numerous challenges. The lack of values, empathy and love often blind us to the needs around us, particularly those of women in crisis.

What does it mean to see?

• Physical seeing: Perceiving through the sense of sight.

• Emotional seeing: Perceiving feelings and understanding them.

• Cognitive seeing: Perceiving intelligently and attentively.

God sees you and you are precious in His sight. He sees and understands your physical situation, emotions and needs. This day, let's consider three biblical women who were seen by God in their times of need: Hagar, Rizpah, and a woman caught in adultery.

Each of these women experienced God's attentive care. Hagar, abandoned in the desert, was seen by God who provided for her and her son. Rizpah, a mother mourning her sons, was seen by God, prompting King David to take action. The woman caught in adultery was seen by Jesus, who offered her grace and a new beginning.

God's vision encompasses our entire being - our struggles, feelings and needs. In a world where so much goes unnoticed. God's sight is a reminder of his unfailingly presence and care. Just as he saw these women, He sees and values each of us.
