Where Your Eyes Look

Proverbs 4:25 "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee."

A lot of times when I think of "keeping your eyes pure", I tend to think of men, not women, but that is not so! Even as women, there are many things that we could be looking at to keep our eyes not looking right on and not straight before us. The straight path is the one God wants us to take, but along the path are many many things that are appealing to our eyes. It could be a hobby. It could a TV show. It could be the kinds of books that leave us wishing for a better life than we have (and, yes, that can definitely apply to Christian fiction as well - been there!). Regardless of what our sight temptation is, we have to make sure that we follow God, and we follow Him diligently. A song I used to know goes something like this:

Keep in the middle of the road
Don't you look
To the left
Don't you look
To the right
Just keep in the middle of the road
