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.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

RIGHTEOUSNESS 

Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy2:11-19 
Devotional:- Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (V. 19) NKJV

    The word of God says “God does not listen to the prayers of sinners” So also the praises of sinners (Psalm 66:18). If our praises will be acceptable before God, then we must first deal with the issues of sin. God and sin are not friendly. That is why the praises of sinners will not produce anything in God. No matter how sweet or melodious the songs are, it does not matter to God if our heart is not for Him.

This therefore demand that you purge yourself before the Lord (2 Timothy 2:21). Be humble to acknowledge your wrong doings before Him. Don't pretend (Proverbs 28:13). Genuinely repent before the Lord and ask Him for the grace to overcome sin (1 John 1:7-9). He will have mercy on you and forgive you (Isaiah 55:7).

This accept of His righteousness is by faith in the work of the Cross. (Philippians3:9). This an imputed righteousness that is a gift for a repented sinner. (Romans 4:6-8). To keep this righteous garment, we have to keep obeying the Lord (Psalm 119:9), Then your praises will be acceptable to God. Grace.

PRAYER: Lord, let there be mercy for my soul before you

“THE SWEET SONG OF A SNNER IS DIRTY BEFORE GOD”
