Fix Your Gaze

 Proverbs 4-6; Romans 8 

“My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;…Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet…”

Proverbs 4:20, 21, 25, 26

Our eyes direct where our body travels. Walking within the context of light or of darkness has a huge impact on the capacity of our eyes to see where we are going. God’s Word is like a lamp for our feet, lighting our way if we invite his revelation into our heart and are guided by it. Even living in the light of the knowledge of God requires constant vigilance that we not shift our gaze to the lusts of this world and the temptations of our sinful nature.

Are we walking in the light and guarding our eyes from the distractions of sin that would lure us to the right and the left?

Will we offer our eyes to the Lord this day?

“Jesus, take my eyes and guide them, for your glory.”
