We live in an age obsessed with finding the building blocks of everything. Scientists smash particles in underground colliders, searching for the fundamental forces that make the universe tick. Meanwhile, we organize our lives around the assumption that we're essentially sophisticated chemistry sets—that our moods depend on neurotransmitters, our health on genetic codes, our futures on economic algorithms.

But what if we've been looking in the wrong direction entirely?

This week's lesson isn't about God as some distant lifeguard, watching from afar. It's about the raw truth that you are seen, completely, by the divine presence that never abandons. We're examining how Hagar faced down abandonment in the desert—not with superhuman strength, but with the sudden realization that God already saw her predicament. Divine sight isn't theoretical. It's the foundation that remains when everything else has been stripped away, that doesn't waver no matter what limitation tries to convince you you're alone.

Jacob knew this when he faced his estranged brother despite terror, finding reconciliation where hatred seemed inevitable. This lesson isn't offering you positive thinking. It's inviting you to recognize your inseparability from the divine Mind that maintains your true identity when material sense whispers you're vulnerable, forgotten, or beyond help. This is where most people give up. You're not most people.
