This is a play on two meanings to the same phrase... Apple of my eye. In scripture the phrase is speaking to God's protection. The apple of the eye is the pupil... think of something coming for your eye and what's your instinctive reaction? Close your eyes to protect them... brush whatever is attacking away from this vulnerable part of our bodies. God is telling us how he will instinctively protect us, his children, as he does the apple, pupil, of his eye. The Second meaning... This phrase has come to mean, someone very precious and special to us... they are the apple of our eye. Psalm 17:8

Apple of My Eye Psalm 17:8 “Keep me as the apple of the eye*, hide me under the shadow of thy wings. “ Chorus: Apple of my eye Baby, please don't cry I'll keep you safe I'll carry you And keep you as the apple of my eye Verse: We fight against wickedness in high places Every Christian faces… The darkness… Never sleeps Sometimes we know defeat Under His wings we can hide In His love abide Until we're strengthened once again Climb upon His lap Tuck your head beneath His chin Close your eyes Listen to His lullaby Chorus: Apple of my Eye Baby, please don't cry I'll keep you safe I'll carry you And keep you as The apple of my Eye

Very pertinent observations. The apple of our eyes is the entrance of magnificent thoughts.
