“Keep me as the apple of the eye, Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,”
Psalm 17:8 KJV
David’s priestly prayer, “Protect me from harm; keep an eye on me as you would a child who is reflected in the twinkling of your eye. Yes, hide me within the shelter of your embrace, under your outstretched wings.” David asked God to protect as His cherished son or daughter those who sought His protection. Just as in the old covenant the children of Israel are God’s cherished sons and daughters so in the new covenant are those who have put their faith in Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection, the finished work of the Cross. The mercy seat in the old covenant was where the sacred blood was sprinkled in the Holy of Holies and the golden cherubim overshadowed it. In the new covenant the Sacred Blood of Christ is sprinkled by faith in the Holy of Holies in our hearts as our body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and He dwells in us. God’s divine protection is on us who believe the Word of God. Hallelujah!
