The eye, the most delicate part of the body with its pupil (apple of the eye), the small dark circle in the center, is precious and invaluable, covered by the eyelid to keep it from harm. God made us in His likeness. His eyes are always on us; He loves and shelters His children—we are precious in His sight.
As David fled his enemies, he understood the eye’s guarded significance, calling on God to keep him as the apple of the eye under the shadow of His wings (Psalm 17:8). When anyone mistreats God’s treasured ones, they have reached out against the apple of His eye: “. . . for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye” (Zechariah 2:8). Jesus said how we treat others is the same as doing it to Him (Matthew 25:34–46). That thought should cause us to think twice before “touching”—treat unkindly, neglect, or harm—the apple of God’s eye, His prized possession.
