📖 Deuteronomy 32:10 – “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.”
📖 Psalm 17:8 – “Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.”
📖 Zechariah 2:8 – “For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.”
Reflection:
To be the apple of God’s eye means to be precious, protected, and deeply loved. Just as the pupil is the most sensitive and well-guarded part of the eye, so does God watch over you with unwavering care. He shields you in the wilderness, leads you through trials, and fights for you when others seek to harm you. No matter what the world says or how circumstances shift, your worth in His eyes is unshaken. You cannot earn this love, nor can you lose it—it is His divine choice to keep you close, to guard you as His most treasured possession. Rest in this truth: you are seen, you are known, and you are His.
