Q: What Does ‘The Apple of God’s Eye’ Mean?
People often use the phrase the apple of my eye to express how precious a loved one is in their sight.

I also pray for the people of Israel. I believe in Christ Jesus and the Lord’s will be done in Jesus Christ as Lord name I pray.
I’ve never liked reading most of my life..I’ve always carried faith and have prayed since childhood. Singing “yes Jesus Loves me” I remember learning about a KJV Giant print Bible as I had lived with an ex Grace Pastor in 1/5/07 this great man that influenced me buying it and is a reason I am where I am today religiously..I have picked it up here and there taking it to Church Raised in Wincog..An expanding and growing church over the years since childhood in VA…Hit a point in life some of us go through being younger partying, dating, experiencing with drugs etc…Fast forward 10/2021 had some evil enter my life but none to the less had been reading the same Bible I’ve had years now..since 10/2021 the signs and wonders the Book of Life speaks of started appearing in various places in my life..Not only am a steady reader that loves to read and learn it from my KJV I have been blessed with a gift from God and I hope and pray for every walk of life on this planet..That he heals and comforts any and every evil thing on this Earth. Learning my surname and family coat of arms really amazed me that we in fact come from 5 different countries through migrating centuries ago. None the less I pray these prayers for everyone in my life and in this Earth on Jesus’s Holy name and Israel remains the Apple of his eye and in fact mine as well..God bless Everyone and may a life full of peace, prosperity, and love be fulfilled in all of your lives today…..Thanks, Brian Franks
That’s lovely Brian keep praying for souls and I was touched by that short testimony.
“Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep”. Psalm 121:4
I thank God He is a promise keeper, and a miracle worker.
No other way to explain Israel!
Amen!
Good evening & God bless.
Very good commentary on this biblical text. I learned something I did not know.
I am very interested in the word of God & to learn from others who have a little more knowledge.
