TOUCH.

Zechariah 2:8.

“…for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.”

The context is Israel. God is saying ‘You touch Israel, you touch Me.’ “Apple of His eye”  is the pupil through which rays pass to the retina; it is the tenderest part of the eye. Touching it means to strike violently, to injure it.

The application for us: when  someone touches us for harm, they are also touching God. This is saying several things: God sees, He feels the pain, identifies with us through it and will intervene.

This week, watch for His intervention…because He says this in verse 9: “I will surely raise My hand against them.”
