Apple of His Eye

A very good morning to you! It is Monday morning, 2nd of May 2022 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today!

If we go to Deuteronomy 32, I am reading from verse 10:

“He found him in a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He kept him as the apple of His eye
As an eagle stirs up its nest,
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings,
So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.”

The apple of His eye!

“For he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.”
Zachariah 2:8

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you…”
John 15:16

Do you know that you are the apple of God’s eye?
I have a daughter, my youngest, she has siblings but she openly tells her brothers and sisters that she is my favourite child. By the way, she is married and has three boys of her own... Of course her siblings do not believe that for a moment but that is not the point - The point is, she does! The Lord says:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9

You see, it depends what you feel today... I want to tell you that He loves you so much that He died for you! There was a very famous Zulu preacher named was William Duma. This little man was driving his little car one dark night in a dangerous township area in Kwa-zulu Natal, South Africa. As he came around a corner he found that the road was blocked with debris. So he stopped his little car, in the middle of the road, got out and started to move the branches off of the road. Some men came out of the bush with knives and clubs to attack him, the man of God, but he stopped them in their tracks. He said, “Do you know who I am?”. They stopped, they couldn’t believe it. He said, “I am a child of the Living God. If you touch me, you touch God.” They dropped their weapons and ran into the bush. He cleared the road, got in his little car and proceeded on his way - God’s man!

Today, as you go out remember, you are the apple of God’s eye and if God is with you, there is no man that will harm you.

Have a blessed day and God bless you.
Goodbye.
