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.

YOUR POSSESSION

YOUR POSSESSION 

Luke 12:13-21
Dev. “But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'” (v. 20)

    The word of God says all that we have are given to us by God (John 3:27). That makes all that we have to belong to God automatically (Psalm 24:1). And if our procession is from the Lord and belongs to God, then they are trusted into our hands as stewards. This then demand that we manage them with a sense of stewardship in the fear of the Lord.

The man we read about today in the scripture, does not realize he was a steward unto God. He took what he had to be personal possession. He lost a sense of accountability. He became too personal with what he has and God was not pleased. At the end he lost not only his possession but also his soul. (Mark 8:36)

Friend the word of God says the fear of the Lord is wisdom (Job 28:28). Please do not forget that we brought nothing to the world and we shall leave with nothing. Therefore treat what God has given you with the fear of the Lord. Love the Lord with what you have and love your Neighbour with it. The Lord will keep blessing you in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to trade my soul with material things.
