Keep Your Eyes Straight Ahead

-August 22, 2022-

Good morning beloved, happy Friday,

“Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids right before you.”

(Proverbs 4:25).

Solomon was the wisest man ever, wrote 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. He authored three books: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Wisdom is the main theme of Proverbs. Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

The path of wisdom is right in front of us. When you look straight ahead and follow the Lord we will be right where He wants us to be. The past is behind us and the future is in front of us. Ofttimes we get distracted by the things around us. We must keep our eyes on Jesus. Hebrews 12:2 tells us, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith…”

By keeping our eyes straight ahead, we will be focused on God and His perfect will. Jesus spoke of a narrow road. The way of righteousness is rarely the easy path, but there joy in the journey with Jesus.

Solomon goes on to say, “Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil” (Proverbs 4:27). The right may seem right to us, the left may look good, but straight ahead is the best direction for us.

May the Lord keep is on the highway of holiness and the path of righteousness. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Keep looking and going forward trusting in our heavenly Guide, Jesus Christ.
