The Apple of God’s Eyes
Psalm 17:8a
Keep me as the apple of Your eye...
David pleaded with God to keep him as the apple of His eye. It indicates that David was already aware that he was the apple of God’s eye, and he was praying that he would remain so. He knew how precious it is to be the apple of God’s eye.
The phrase "apple of my eye" refers to something or someone that one cherishes above all others. Originally, it refers to the pupil of the eye. Pupil is located in your eyes, and it is definitely one of the most important parts of our body. God created our face in such a way that the features of our face around the eyes protect the pupil of our eyes.
High cheek-bones shelter it from incoming blows. Bushy eyebrows keep sweat from getting into pupils. Eyelashes act like fences to keep all unwanted intruders out. Eyelids can shut to provide rest and quiet.
Being the apple of God's eye means that you are at the very center of His focus and protection. He loves and protects you even when you are stubborn or caught in the worst of situations. His care for you remains constant.
Prayer
Dear God, I am so grateful that I am the apple of Your eye where I am assured that I am well protected under Your wings. Amen.
