Steady Eyes

Eyes are interesting parts of the body.  Of course, they are incredibly irreplaceable and there is so much we do with them.  Us girls like to paint 'em and pretty 'em up.  We smile with our eyes, and they also make great glaring weapons.  We close them to shut out the light and rest them ... rest the other parts, too.  If you think about it, without our eyes we would be lost ... actually, we'd probably get lost!

 

God wants our eyes so He can have our hearts!   There are many ways to guard the heart, but just filtering out all the ungodly junk helps!  Moreover, when we feast our eyes upon His written word, oh the joy that is ours!  There is great reward when we steady our eyes upon Christ!  Just like we can't sight-see and drive at the same time, we cannot have eyes for both Christ and for the world. Plainly, Hebrews 12:2 tells us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Who is “the Author and Finisher of our faith.” Steadily focused eyes on Christ helps us hear Him, know Him, stay close to Him.  Try something new today ... listen with your eyes!

 

Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful Face.

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the Light of His glory and grace.
