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.

TRIAL TIMES

TRIAL TIMES

James 1:12-20
Dev:- “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (V. 19)


    There is a need to learn from the word of God what to do to manage the trial times. God expect us to use our trial times to grow and overcome but not to be a victim. If you will come out victoriously after a trail times then let us learn the wisdom thought in the word of God. 

The first is to realize that victory over trial brings us into promotion of strength, wisdom and grace. That is why we must not give in (James 1:12). The second is that we realize that God is not the source of most of the trial times in our lives. Trial times are always a product of our weaknesses. This will help us admit our weaknesses and repent before the Lord (James 1:13-15). 

In trial times we must learn to be more teachable to gain strength. Not boasting to know but slow to give judgments (Proverbs 14:27, Proverbs 16:32, Ecclesiastic 7:9). This is when to return to obey the Lord (Hosea 6:1). And we shall be restored. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me grace to use trial times for my promotions
