Bragging On Jesus

Proverbs in 365 Devotions For more go to braggingonjesus.com Proverbs 7:2 keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;   The Apple Of Your Eye R Aylor Maybe you’ve heard this phrase “the apple of your eye” before or something similar. One variation… the phrase "Apple of his eye" was possibly first ever used in Deuteronomy 32:10 speaking of how God loved Jacob it says: “he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye”. This phrase or one similar has stayed relative to our language unto this day.

These words surely carry with them the idea that Solomon's wise teachings should have caught his son's heart's eye like a bright red apple... Solomon wanted his son to take hold of the wisdom God has given him; lavish it, prize it high, eat its fruit and find life. But certainly this passage is also for you and I today.  Gods words should catch our eye in the same way… they should be savored as something that appeals to us spiritually and desired as sweet nourishment to our soul
