Open Our Eyes

19 Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.  Genesis 21:19a
It’s right in front of you. How often have we looked and looked for something only to find it right in front of our noses. We feel silly, not realizing what was right there all along.  Sometimes we get too busy, preoccupied or overrun with worries to see the things right in front of us. We need to take Hagar’s cue in Genesis: she cried out to God. He opened Hagar’s eyes to new possibilities and he can open ours as well. We just need to ask.
