APPLE OF HIS EYE

APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:4-13 Devotional:- “...for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye” (V. 8) AMPL      One of the most honourable and highly protected parts of our body is our eye. It is highly protected because of its importance and delicacy. The eye is the light of the body (Matthew 6:22, Luke 11:34). A man without sight is blocked without light. He will need to learn to see with the inner eye. Because of the importance of the eye, everyone takes time to wash it with all care and caution. When things are coming against it, wise people will always avoid it. When something little enters the eye, we become restless until it is removed. The truth is that you cannot allow anyone to touch your eye. It is a reflex action for you to close it at such times.

CHOICE OF JOY

CHOICE OF JOY                  

Habakkuk 3:17-19
Devotional:- “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” v18


    It is important you know that your action of joy is your choice. Joy is not a gift but individual choice. When you see someone who is always rejoicing, it is not because he has a lot of money or have achieved all his goals. It is just because his choice is to keep rejoicing in the Lord, so if any one is sad, it is also their choice.

In our Scripture today is the experience of prophet Habakkuk. He saw many things not in the right place. But he made up his mind to keep rejoicing no matter what. That is a personal choice for him. 

Friend, you need to choose a life of joy. Don’t abandon your life into the hands of situations around you. Don’t allow others to keep choosing the way you should live for you. Make your choices yourself. Remember, joy helps you stay in health (Proverbs 17:22). Joy makes you look good and great(Proverbs 15:13) Joy makes you to accommodate the presence of the Lord (Psalm 16:11) Remember, if you don’t make the choice to keep rejoicing, you have unconsciously make the choice to be sorrowful. Don’t let anything determine your mood or state of mind. Make a conscious choice and you will keep rejoicing. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to make up my mind to keep rejoicing

“LIFE IS NOT FOREVER, CHOOSE TO LIVE WELL”
