Let
your eyes look directly ahead
And
let your gaze be fixed straight
in
front of you.
Proverbs
4:25
Thoughts ~
Oh, my goodness, I can so
easily get sidetracked by sideshow distractions! I have to really purposefully
keep my eyes on the Lord, looking straight ahead at Him and not the stuff
around me that calls for my attention. Not nice stuff, but the type that calls
me to sin, to take my eyes off Him. I am convinced that the way I can keep my
eyes on the path that He has cleared for me is to stay in His word every
day. Maybe I don't have time for a full Bible study every day, but, even
taking one verse like today’s and really meditating on it, asking God for
clarification, makes my walk down the path stronger and more secure.
Action ~
Take the verse today and
write it on a piece of paper and take it apart, examining every word. What does
it say to you? Does it convict you about getting off the path by sideshow
distraction? Does it encourage you that you are on target in your spiritual
growth? Try memorizing the verse and allow God to use it in your life as a reminder.
Pray ~
Thank You, Lord, for the
reminder to keep my eyes on the path you have set me on. Help me to
remember to put blinders on when people try to call my name from the sideshows
and give me strength to ignore the glitter that tries to call me aside.
Trusting in the Lord,
Becky
