Deuteronomy 32     Isaiah 59     Psalms 119: 121-144     (Click on the Reference to go to the passage)

The 'Song of Moses', which Moses wanted the whole of Israel to hear, teaches us all about the character of God: he is a great God, he is a faithful God, he is a God who disciplines us, he is perfect God, He is  a God who loves us.

One verse in particular stood out for me; verse 10 "He kept him as the apple of his eye". As a child my favourite verse in the bible was Psalm 17 v8 "keep me as the apple of your eye, hide me in the shadow of your wings"....my daughter has a t-shirt which says 'apple of Daddy’s eye'.

The 'apple of the eye' is the pupil and this is the most delicate part of the eye that must be protected at all costs, like a parent protecting his child at all cost, and because of the love for the child would lay down their life for that child. Jesus laid down his life for each and everyone of us. 

So let us go through today conscious that we are the apple of God’s eye.
