Apple of Your Eye
The book of Psalms is full of love and praise as David expresses just how deeply He loves God and values their close relationship. In Psalm 17:8, David makes an unusual request when He prayed, “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.” David was telling God that he wanted to be special and for God to hold him close. The expression, “apple of your eye,” simply means that person is special and precious to you. God loves all of His children and each one is the “apple of His eye”–including you! God promises to take care of you in Psalm 91:4, “He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.” Just as a mother hen protects her baby chicks from danger by hiding them under her wings, God will protect and keep you close to Him–all you need to do is trust that He has your best interests at heart and run to Him where He can keep you safe from danger. There is no better place to be than in the comforting arms of Jesus–for it is when you stray from His side that you will experience your darkest, and  scariest moments. Take God at His Word and trust Him with your life for He loves you more than you could possibly know–after all . . . you are the “apple of His eye!” Text: Hosea 2:19, Zephaniah 3:17, Isaiah 54:10

Bible Texts:
Hosea 2:19 NKJV - "I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me In righteousness and justice, In lovingkindness and mercy; 

Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV - The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet [you] with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." 

Isaiah 54:10 NKJV - For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed," Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
