What GOD wants me to see

We know that the eyes are the window to the soul. It is impossible to "un-see" something. Once we see it, it is always there. And, look, there are lots of things to see out there; there are lots of things that vie for our attention, things that try to get us to look. And, it is easy to allow ourselves to "look into things".

I will be the first to admit that I am as far from perfect as anyone has ever been. I don't say that bragging or boastfully, I say that with complete honesty. In the words of the great American, Clint Eastwood, however, "A man's gotta know his limitations." We have to know what tempts us, and stay away from those things.

Today's word is Psalm 101:3a, NLT, which reads, "I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar..."

The psalmist was writing that he was not going to allow things that were tempting to be looked at. Once again, it is impossible to un-see things; it is best not to look on them to begin with. If we will just determine, and I am talking to me, to not even look towards those things, we can keep ourselves from allowing things from permeating our thoughts.

There are lots of things out there vying for just a little of our attention. We have to be careful what we give our attention to. Some things are worth looking at and investing in, others absolutely are not. I want to see what GOD wants me to see.

Be Blessed,
