Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked
and the good.
Coram Deo literally refers to something that takes place in the presence of, or before the face of, God. Coram Deo is a keen awareness that all our life is lived out on a public stage before an audience of one. Coram Deo reminds us that none of our joy nor struggles is forgotten by our God who sees us.
One of my favorite names of God is revealed in an encounter that Hagar had with God after she fled the presence of Sarai who was jealous and mistreated her when Hagar become pregnant and Sarai remained barren. Hagar was sitting by a desert spring alone and unsure of her future. In the midst of her turmoil she encounters God. She meets the one who sees her, the one who knows her. We too can know that we live before the one who sees us and provides us.
Genesis 16:13
She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: "You are the God
who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me."
