~ THE APPLE OF HIS EYE ~

Many years ago, the Lord told me to write Words to Ponder based upon my rhema. He said it was harvesting the food He gave me and putting it into chewable form. At the same time, Grandma Anna started writing Selah Words to harvest her own rhema.

She has had the desire to add graphics to hers and last night I had installed some graphics onto her machine. Today, she decided to try her hand at learning how to insert a graphic. She went to the directory and had no idea what graphic she was clicking on as they had no titles. She inserted the apple graphic into her following Selah Word !!!!! The Lord is SO awesome. We were astounded at this Word. If you notice, the center cores of the apples are missing in the graphic. And the 3 cores are setting along side of the apples so as to draw attention to the core of the apples.

GRANDMA ANNA'S SELAH:  THE APPLE OF MY EYE 5/10/95
You are the apple of My eye. You are My inheritance, My precious treasures.

"When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye." (Deuteronomy 32:8-10 KJV)

NOTES FROM SANDY: The apple of His eye, is the very center, the very core of His focus. What is so special to me about this Word, is that it is only 2 sentences and God kissed His Word and Grandma Anna in such a special way!

APPLE OF THE EYE
(from Fausset's Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft)

The promise is in Zech 2:8, "He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye";
The prayer is Ps 17:8 "Keep me as the apple of the eye ";
The fulfillment is in Deut 32:10, "He kept him as the apple of His eye."

A different Hebrew word from tappuach, namely, 'ishown, "little man," i.e. pupil (Greek kore) of the eye. So called from the image formed on the retina. The part most precious and most guarded from attack; which feels most acutely the least hurt, and the loss of which is irreparable

{Words to Ponder are summaries of His quickened Words}

WORD TO PONDER: REACHING YOU ANY WAY I CAN {5/30/05}
How I long to reach you with My loving confirmations! I will send them in sweet and simple ways, and you may miss them if you are not listening. Often I hide My confirmations in simplicity. If you are ensnared by the complexities in life, the simple gifts remain hidden. I promised that if you seek Me, you shall find Me. If you are looking to hear from Me, if you are expecting Me to speak to you, your heart will leap and be quickened as you see Me in such simple ways confirming your walk. Great is My love for you!

Matt 13:44 NLT
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field — and to get the treasure, too!
