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.

SERVICE IN PATIENCE

SERVICE IN PATIENCE

Genesis 40:4-15
Devotional:- “And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please”” (V. 8) NKJV

    God has put in every man one thing or the other to be used to climb to the top. These are in the form of gifts, talents or call it potentials. God’s word says the gift of a man will make a way for him (Proverbs 18:16).

Joseph knew he was a man of destiny. God had revealed many things to him about it. However, challenges brought him to Egypt as a slave. And he gave himself to service. Using all the gifts and talents or potentials he found in himself to serve others. He gave his best in service by faith. He was convinced that his lifting would come. Service lifted him in Potiphar’s house but they sent him to prison (Genesis 39). Nevertheless, he kept serving by faith knowing that one day he would be lifted again.

Friend, start to serve with your gifts and talents. It is an act of faith for your lifting (Mark 10:43-45). Make others better with your gift. Don’t bother what it is going to cost you to do this. Do not wait for any appreciation either. Keep serving by faith. Wait patiently, soon God will open the door for you. That same potential shall be needed at the top and your announcement shall come.

Prayer: Lord, grant me the grace to keep serving faithfully.

“SERVICE IS THE LADDER TO THE TOP”
