WOWgroup Global Fellowships Family Fun Day ~ Apple Picking (Warwick, NY)
Today was such a beautiful day. As we walked with our family and friends through the farm and picked and chewed on fresh fruit we were reminded of God's Glory. To think that there are over 7,500 different kinds of apples in the world today. WOW, that is a lot of apples.
I am reminded that the Apple is an awesome fruit. God compared us to that fruit and I can totally understand why. When the Lord speaks about the apple of His eye He is stating that He is watching over His people, He is guarding us. He does this, because truly He loves us.
Here are the biblical verses that use the expression (from the New International Version):
Deuteronomy 32:10
- In a desert land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.
He shielded him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,
Psalm 17:8
- Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
Proverbs 7:2
- Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
Zechariah 2:8
- For this is what the LORD Almighty says:
"After he has honored me and
has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—
for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye--
