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.

UNDERSTANDING

UNDERSTANDING

1 Peter 3:1-12
Devotional:- “Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding. Giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered” (V. 7)

    Here is a great need to be of understanding if relationship will not be like a trap. To live together with understanding is to tolerate each other with maturity. This is to understand that we are people raised from different background, yet, brought together by divine arrangement. It is therefore very important that we wisely handle our relationship with understanding.

The Bible commands us to dwell with each other with understanding. This is by honouring each other and realizing our different weaknesses. The Bible instructs us to see each other as heirs together of the grace of life; so that our prayer may not be hindered. This is because, if understanding is not brought into our relationship, our differences will always cause misunderstanding.

To love with understanding demands that we come to realize that we cannot change one another overnight (Luke 21:19). It demands that we correct one another in love (Ephesians 4:2). It demands that we prayerfully correct one another till our great change becomes visible (Proverbs 21:1). Then, our relationship will keep changing for good. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me an understanding heart to grow my relationship.

“WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING, TWO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER”
