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.

SUBMIT TO GOD

SUBMIT TO GOD

James 4:7-10
Devotional:- "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". (V. 7)

    God made man as a free moral agent but that was because he wants us to voluntarily submit to Him. To submit is to make your life a Sub under His mission. This means to make Him your controller. To make His mission your mission for life. To allow Him be the supreme over your life. It is to follow God’s way as your vision.

Submission is best done willingly not out of fear or force, but out of love. The word submission is best pronounced as surrender. To be able to surrender your life to God you must trust that he will not fail you (Romans 9:33). To be able to totally surrender to God you need to admit that you have limitations in other words there are things you cannot do for yourself. That is why you will need His strength in many parts of your life (Philippians 4:13).

Friend, Christians are not those who struggle with God or with his word. They are those who submit or surrender to Him. Christians don’t argue the word of God but obey it. Christians don’t live in fear; they live by trust in the faithfulness of God. They know their life is not theirs anymore; they use it in submission to God (Matthew 26:39). The Lord will give you grace.

 Prayer: Lord, help me to live in submission to you always.

 “You would not be able to handle God’s authority if you don’t submit to Him”.
