G-d referred to Jewish Israel as "the apple of his eye" in Deuteronomy 32:10 and Zechariah 2:8. The "apple of the eye" refers to the eyeball, or the pupil in its center that is protected by the eyelids. It is a symbol of that which is precious and protected. Beginning with Abraham, G-d promised to multiply his seed and birth a great nation that would carry His blessing (Genesis 12:2). Then with Moses, G-d led Israel out of slavery in Egypt and to the land of promise. G-d used Joshua to lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land. Every step of the way was marked with the miracle-working hand of G-d.
It was through Yeshua/Jesus, the Son of G-d, that the way was made for every man, Jew and Gentile, to receive this special favor and protection of G-d. Through Yeshua/Jesus, you choose to serve G-d from a decision of the heart and thus become a "spiritual Jew." "But he is a Jew which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter.. . ." (Romans 2:29a)
PRAY: "G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I pledge my devotion to You and thank You for Your promise of blessing and protection. Amen."
