THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYE
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 17:8 NKJV
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. Deuteronomy 32:10 NKJV
The apple of the eye is the pupil, the direct center of the eye. God views you as the apple of His eye which means your reflection is in the pupil of His eye. How cool is that!
You can partner with a view, a lens, or a perspective that will cause you to lose your loyalty to Jesus. If you choose to partner with a comparison lens, you are choosing to lose your loyalty.
Understand you are growing and have a yes in your spirit for the things God brings you – even scary things. If God says I can do it, I can do it. If God brings me the opportunity I can own it. If The Lord tells me this is who I am, then I have to conform my life to the image of who He says I am.
We have to replace our eye of “us” with God’s eye of us. People who can’t do this tend to be what the Bible calls lukewarm. That’s why Jesus tells the lukewarm church Laodicea, that they needed a new view.
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. Revelation 3:18 NKJV
Anointed eyes = heavenly vision and Godly perspective.
When the blind man healed by Jesus was asked how, look what he said,
Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So, I went and washed, and I received sight.” John 9:10-11 NKJV
When we see with anointed eyes, we begin to see ourselves the way Jesus sees us. There is a phrase in the Bible for that: The Apple of God’s Eye.
You need to choose God’s antidote to comparing yourself to others: Own your own story and be authentic. Be convinced God loves you as YOU.
Declaration: I will own my own story and stay authentic. I will not fall into the trap of comparison to others and will only see myself through God’s eyes.
