THE PRECIOUS LIFE
" Since you were PRECIOUS in My sight, You have been honored, and I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life ." [Isaiah 43:4]. This is one promise of God that is absolutely far reaching. What does God mean when he says that you are precious in his sight? Among other blessings it means that YOU SHALL NOT DIE CHEAPLY. Compare the following scriptures. " And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, BE PRECIOUS IN THY SIGHT. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now BE PRECIOUS IN THY SIGHT "—2 Kings 1:13-14. • He shall REDEEM their soul from deceit and violence: and PRECIOUS shall their blood be IN HIS SIGHT —Psalm 72:...
