The Apple of His Eye.
God expresses His love to the people of Jerusalem in Zechariah chapter 2 beautifully. The angel of the Lord brought this message from God, Zachariah 2:5 And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’ God is love and He expresses His love in diverse ways. One of the greatest expressions of His love is the gift of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ our Savior. John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
In today’s
passage, we see God expressing His love in a promise to protect Israel and honor
her. God made a profound statement in Zachariah 2:8, “For
he who touches you touches the apple of my eye. This shows that God cherished
and loved these people.
Today, let us rest and bask in the wonderful love of our Heavenly Father. If He calls us the apple of His eye, then we are highly cherished.
