Bible commentaries

Hagar gave this name to the Lord at the well in the desert. God knows all our thoughts and feelings. Jesus knew the thoughts of all those who were around him, proving that He is El Roi (Matthew 22:18; 26:21,34; Luke 5: 21-24). This term, besides illustrating that God is a person who the human can relate to, illustrates the omniscience and omnipresence of God. When we talk about God's omniscience we are referring not just to the fact that He knows it all, but that He perceives all the things we have in our hearts. He knows when we are saddened or joyful. He knows when we are confident or frightened. He knows when we are cheerful or disheartened. He knows when we are optimistic or full of pessimism. He knows everything about us. He never forsakes us. He knows what we are going through at this moment and he is ready to reach out his hand just like he did to Hagar.
