No matter how far you stray, He is close. He Holds You Closeįor your reflection to appear in God's eyes, you must be close. You are at the center of His attention, and His plans for you will be completed. Even when you turn away from Him like the Israelites, His plans for you do not change. If you are far from God, he sees you and wants good for you. In Jeremiah 29:11, God tells the exiled Israelites, " for I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a future.” His beloved people turned away, yet He had plans for their future. You are the apple of God's eye because He cannot take his eyes off you. “ For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him” ( 2 Chronicles 16:9). He sees your suffering and pain, like Hagar's, as well as your joys and triumphs. Sarah's servant, Hagar, was the first to call God, El Roi, The God Who Sees.

God provides wisdom, strength, and righteousness and through His Son, Jesus, salvation. However, not all good things are food and drink, riches and wealth.

Psalm 107:9 says, “ For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” God possesses abundant resources and answers to your practical needs. If God knows when one sparrow falls from the sky, God is aware of your needs, and He is more than able to provide. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.” ( Zephaniah 3:17) 3. “ The Lord, your God, is in your midst, A victorious warrior. As the object of God's gaze, He will protect you with all his power. Imagine how a tiny grain of sand can irritate the eye to the point of pain. The eye is one of the most delicate parts of the body. You are his child, and He enjoys watching you grow and mature in faith. Through Jesus, your Heavenly Father adopted you into His family. Romans 5:8 says, “ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” You were the center of God's attention, even when you were living in sin. One of the best examples of God's love for you is Christ. Here are 10 reasons God calls you “the apple of His eye.” He regards you as precious in His own sight. Today, God calls you "the apple of His eye." You are seen and known and the object of His affection. He guarded the people as "the apple of his eye." In the desert, he found them in a barren and howling waste. Called the Song of Moses, the people are reminded of God's protection and provision in the desert. In Deuteronomy 32:10, the people of Israel are also called "the apple of His eye." When the people of Israel reached the Promised Land and Moses turns over leadership to Joshua, Moses recalls the story of God's people.

When God looks at His children, we are reflected in His eyes. That is to say that a tiny reflection of the object of your attention appears in your pupil. The first line of verse 8 translates, "Guard me as the pupil, the daughter of the eye." "Pupil" in Hebrew is "little man." The center of your eye reflects the person it sees. In verse 7, he writes, " Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand," and in verse 8, David begs, " Keep me as the apple of your eye." In other words, "Guard me as you would your own precious sight." In Psalm 17, David pleads for God's attention and protection under attack.
