“耶和华在旷野之地遇见了他，在荒凉之地和野兽吼叫的荒野，遇见了他，就环绕他，看顾他， 保护他，好象保护自己眼中的瞳人一样。”
申命记 32:10
“"He found him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.”
Deuteronomy 32:10
“God is like an eyelid,” Ryley said to Amy. Why did Ryley say that? In verse 10, it talks about guarding him as the pupil of His eye. And what encircles and guards the pupil? The eyelid!
God is like the eyelid, which instinctively protects the tender eye. The eyelid guards the eye from danger, and by blinking helps remove dirt or dust. It keeps sweat out of the eye. It lubricates the eyeball, keeping it healthy. It closes, allowing rest.
As we consider the picture of God as an eyelid, we can thank God for the many metaphors He’s given us to help us understand His love for us. When we close our eyes at night and open them in the morning, we can think of God, and praise Him for His tender protection and care for us.
