Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

The name "Zechariah" means "Yahweh (the Lord) remembers."

... "Whoever touches you touches my eye."
... More precisely... it's a promise that He will protect His people like His most sensitive and precious eyes!

... Our eyes are so fragile that even a little dust can get in...

Our eyes become red and watery 😢

making it impossible to open them.

... The Lord says He will protect those precious eyes like His pupils!

... Psalm 17:8.

"Watch over me like your pupil; hide me under the shadow of your wings."

As it says...
I believe we need to pray for God's protection.
... For yourself.

For your family.

For your friends, acquaintances, and colleagues...
"Please protect [Name] like your eyes!
Please shelter [Name] in the shade of your wings."

Let's incorporate these into our daily prayers.

Shalom 😃
