Zechariah 2:8
For thus says the LORD of Armies: ‘For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

The Israelites were not very good at being faithful to God. They turned away from Him time and time again. And yet God was very good at being faithful to His people because He always keeps His promises. He affectionately called them the apple of His eye, not because they were perfect, but because they belonged to Him.

Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.

If someone stood in front of you and looked deep into your eyes, they’d see a tiny reflection of themselves looking back. Which would make them the apple of your eye or something precious to watch over. And Solomon knew that for us to live the life God intended, we couldn’t simply glance at His Word. We’d need to treasure it as the apple of our eye.

Lamentations 2:18
Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don’t let the apple of your eye cease.

Israel was facing a very difficult moment. The prophets had warned Israel that if they refused to turn back to the LORD, judgment would come, and eventually they would be taken captive. And sadly, that’s exactly what happened. However, in the midst of their grief, they turned to the One who was still their only hope.

Deuteronomy 32:10
He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye.

Just before the Israelites were going to enter the Promised Land, Moses decided to share something with them in order that they would not forget all that God had done. He taught them a song. A song that would remind them of God’s faithfulness, from the time He brought them out of Egypt to the way He cared for them through those 40 years in the wilderness.

Psalm 17:8
Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings.

When you have a little one, usually they are the apple of your eye. The one that you protect because they are so precious in your sight. And David knew that he needed God’s protection and help, so he requested for God to keep him safe in a very turbulent time. The next time you’re facing one of those times, follow his example and ask the LORD to help you!

Psalm 102:25-27
Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end.

God made all of creation, and yet, we need to remember that He Himself was never created. So even though everything we see around us has a beginning and an end and is guaranteed to wear out, keep in mind, the God who never changes will remain forever.
