“Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,” Psalms 17:8 NKJV
This prayer of David’s to his Father is a very simple one, which actually portrays the sort of relationship he had with Him. It shows his complete trust in God as he asks Him to protect him – like protecting His eyes; and to hide Him safely out of sight under His ‘wings’. In other words he trusted that he was loved and would be taken care of.
Can I ask you – is that the sort of relationship you have with your Father? Do you know without a doubt that He loves you; that you only have to ask and He’ll be there to help you?
If you’re not sure – can I encourage you to take time, in the days ahead, to talk to the Lord. Ask Him why, and what you need to change to bring you into a deeper relationship with Him. It might be as simple as changing your mindset on the situation. I do believe that, if you ask Him, He’ll show you.
And our declaration for today really sums it all up:
“I am special and precious to the Lord, my value is increasing everyday!”
Be blessed. 🙏❣️
