Bible Commentary

Proverbs 7:2

The 'apple of the eye' is the pupil — the most sensitive, protected part of the body. God's law deserves that level of careful protection.

Memory phrase: Guard God's Word like your own eyes.

Talk about it: Why are your eyes so precious to you? How can you guard God's Word with the same care?

Prayer: God, help me protect and treasure Your commandments every single day.
