Apple of the Eye Commitment
Keep me as the apple of your eye, hide me in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 17:8 NIV
When my boys were young, I told them often that I would never leave them nor forsake them. As they got older they didn't want to hear it as much, but they still wanted to see it.
I want my boys to know that they are important to me. I want them to sense that they are the apple of my eye. I want them to feel that they can find protection in me, that I will always have their best interests at heart, and that here is one person that will always be on their team.
Let me tell you that I can't be that person to my boys unless God is that person to me. When I see God as my provider and the source for all my needs, then I can provide that comfort to the ones I love.
When I recognize that I am the apple of my Father's eye, then I can give my children the position in my heart that they deserve. It saddens me to see so many children who are growing up in homes today where there is either no love or absent and silent love.
We need to get back to a day when our children see our love and commitment to the home. We need to let them be the apple of our eye. We need to shelter them in the shadow of our wings. We need to take back our family for God! We can only do that when we, ourselves, are in a right relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Dear God, keep us as the apple of your eye! Shelter us under your mighty wings! It is our only hope!
