Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily devotional July 3, 2016 – The Apple of His Eye

Today’s Scripture: “Keep me as the apple of your eye...” - (Psalm 17:8, NIV)

Topic: The Apple of His Eye [July 3, 2016]

In this day and age, people are considered to be important for so many different reasons—titles, position, possessions, where you go, what you drive. But God’s value system is quite different from the value system of the world. God cherishes and values you simply because He made you. You are the apple of His eye; the center of His world!

If you’ve ever thought that God has too many other important things on His plate to be concerned with you and your life, know this today—you are God’s number one priority. There’s nothing you can do to be more important or less important to Him. He values you and that will never change. You are significant. Your life is significant. The things that concern you, concern God. He carefully watches over every detail of your life, and there is nothing too big or too small for His attention.

Today, don’t be afraid to take your concerns and cares to the Father. He loves to hear you call on Him. He is waiting to show Himself strong on your behalf because you are the apple of His eye!

A Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You for loving me today. Thank You for keeping me the apple of Your eye. I open my heart and mind to You and cast every care on You. I receive Your love for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
