The Eye of the Storm is the safest, yet most dangerous place to be. Those who have been in the path of a hurricane know that to venture into the eye, is to venture into temporary calm, for in a moment’s time, the winds will quickly pick up intensity, and to get back to the place of safety, by this point, would be too late. Unless you are in a reconnaissance airplane, flying into the eye, learning about the storm, gathering all the data from inside the eye, and moving at the same speed the storm moves, you are not safe. So He is telling me He wants me to remain in His Eye. His Grace. His Favor. His Continual Fountain (Hebrew: AYIN) of Blessings. Like the airplane gathers data, becomes very intimate with the nature of the storm, and learns all about its life by the calculations it makes in its eye, so He too, wants us to learn of Him and gather data and become very intimate with His nature. But I’ll need to move when He moves and go where He goes. Sometimes, He moves very swiftly. Sometimes, He will shift directions and do the complete opposite of all the computer modules. I need to be still, and sensitive, to His ways. Noah found grace in the eyes (AYIN) of the Lord. (Gen 6:8) Ayin (ah-YIN), is the Hebrew word for Eye in this passage, and it means “in the judgement of” “the estimation of” or “according to my judgment it appears to me as” To have found favor in the Lord’s eyes, is not to say that favor is all of a sudden there, when once it was not. To have found favor in the Lord’s eyes (the AYIN) is to have looked into the gateway of His Judgement, (the eye), and to see your reflection right in the center, or the apple. It is by the Lord’s Judgement of who we are, not our own, not the eyes of another, that enable us to go forward in whatever we do. Are you stuck, Beloved? Find grace in My eyes, my AYIN. It’s there. You need to see it. Take it further. I was praying for someone that was a bit of a challenge to my heart. Then I felt the Lord’s eyes looking out through my own. There was favor for this person. “Is she stuck, Beloved?” “Thank you Lord, for I have found favor in Your eyes (Your Judgement, Your Estimation) for this one.” Here is where He wants each of us to remain because this is the safest place to be. Psalm 32:7,8 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. |
| In Her Daddy’s Eyes |
| She was six years old and fairer than Snow White could ever be More radiant than the stars and Brighter than the sun was she All the birds would hush their voices When they heard that princess sing But there were none more captivated Than her daddy who was king She was a little princess Her hair was golden brown She wore a diamond tiara And a long white satin gown She stood taller than the oak trees Though she was of little size And she lived inside the castle In her daddy’s lovin’ eyes Now at ten years old the princess rose Just before the crack of dawn She went to look for daddy And found that he was gone And at thirteen years she looked back, thinkin How long it had been And she wondered if the princess had run away with him Sweet sixteen, kissed many times Though she still shed a tear With ev’ry mem’ry of her dad and How it was when he was near Lookin’ for the truth and all she found Was dirty lies Searchin’ for the princess Now in a stranger’s eyes Eight years had come and gone She’s got a princess of her own Wasn’t like she dreamed As she raised her child alone But then she met her Heavenly Father And she’d come to realize That she was and always will be A princess in His eyes Well she IS a little princess Her hair IS golden brown She WEARS a diamond tiara And a long white satin gown She STANDS taller than the oak trees Though she IS of little size And she LIVES inside the castle In her Daddy’s lovin’ eyes Now ev’rywhere she goes she sees The princess in her Daddy’s eyes |
