Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, (Psalms 17:8 NKJV)

How watchful as I recalled when my grandson just learnt to walk. Yet times where he slipped my eyes and fell. But God doesnt, Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

It speaks of been constantly watched. Hymn, His eye is on the sparrow and He watches over me. He beholding us with the righteousness of Christ. David was being persecuted by Saul. He needed so much of God's protection. He knew without God watching him; he would have easily fallen prey to the enemy's hand.

The eye is the most sensitive part of the body. For thus says the LORD of hosts: He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. (Zechariah

The Psalmist prayed to hide under the shadow of the almighty. Being a shepherd before, he must have witnessed how majestic is the eagle in protecting the young under its wings. Alluding the birds, who cover their young ones with their wings to save them from birds of prey; the wings of the cherubim over the mercy seat, where God granted his presence would also cover us (Deut. 32:11; Ex.19:4); ( ,4; ; ) .

Prayer: Lord, I am watched as the apple of Your eye and in danger nothing will harm me as You are my covering.
