Apple of His eye

 He who touches you—touches the apple of His eye". Zechariah 2:8

God's care for His people is amazing. It is surprising that His people, knowing this, continue to worry and fear. They have God's constant care, they are as precious to Him as the apple of His eye, and they continue to fear the enemy.

I love James Smith's meditation on this verse.

‘’As the wise physician, He will touch—to cure; but He will not allow others to touch to hurt.

Like the tender mother, He will correct His children Himself—but will not allow others to do so.

How close the union!

How peculiar the affection!

How tender the sympathy!

How kind the care!

How constant the attention!

How merciful the provision!

How safe and how happy they are!’’
