| The Apple of His Eye |

17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of thy wings,
This was from my nightly Psalms last night. I like the way NIV words it better. It says, "Keep me as the apple of *YOUR* eye."
I usually read several Psalms each night, but I couldn't seem to get past that verse. I must have read it 15 times. I fell asleep with that verse going through my mind over and over again. I slept more peacefully than I have slept in a long time, and then I woke up with that verse on my mind.
I think we all have the desire to be the apple of someone's eye. We all want to be loved and cherished. As I look over this past year, I can so clearly see where the Lord has loved me, protected me and taken care of me. He's shown me that I am the apple of his eye, and that's where I want to stay. If I am never the apple of anyone else's eye, it doesn't matter as long as I am the apple of His eye. |
