EYE FIXATION
OBSERVATION: THE BOOK OF PROVERBS HAS BEEN CALLED “COMPRESSED EXPERIENCE“. READING PROVERBS TAKES VERY LITTLE TIME: LIVING PROVERBS TAKES A LIFETIME. THE PROVERBS ARE BRIEF, INSTRUCTIVE, AND PAINT VIVID PICTURES. SOLOMON WROTE MOST OF THE PROVERBS.
INTERPRETATION: PROVERBS 4:25 (NKJV) LET YOUR EYES LOOK DIRECTLY AHEAD AND LET YOUR GAZE BE FIXED STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE READS (LET YOUR EYES LOOK RIGHT ON (WITH FIXED PURPOSE), AND LET YOUR GAZE BE STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU.
POINTS TO PONDER:
THE BEST WAY IS THE WAY GOD INTENDED FOR YOU. HE INTENDED FOR MEN AND WOMAN TO OBEY HIM FROM THE BEGINNING, ADAM AND EVE EXPERIENCED THE REALITY OF DISOBEDIENCE. PARADISE WAS LOST (GENESIS CHAPTER 3).
BE CAREFUL OF THOSE WHO ADVOCATE SMOOTH SAILING IN YOUR CHRISTIAN WALK. JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 16: 24 “TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME.” WONDERING EYES AND HASTY REACTIONS ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAD TO COMPLETE DISASTER: THEY DO NOT KEEP MAINTENANCE ON YOUR HEART.
SET YOUR EYES ON CHRIST WHEN CONFRONTED WITH PROBLEMATIC ISSUES. GAZE INTO HIS WORD AND SEEK OUT ANSWERS TO YOUR LIFE ISSUES. CALL ON A GODLY, FAITHFUL, CONFIDENT FRIEND TO HELP YOU.
APPLICATION:
PSALMS 119: 105 THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET, AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH. BELIEVER, YOUR TRUE, WHOLESOME WALK BEGINS WITH EYE FIXATION ON HIS W-O-R-D.
