Daily Devotion: Proverbs 4:25-27

Proverbs 4:25-27    "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. (26)  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. (27)  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil."

Blinders are placed on horses' eyes so they can only look forward. Roaming eyes can take us in wrong directions. Satan had a specific plan when he came to Eve. If he could get her to look at the tree, then enticement to eat would follow. His plan worked for him. We read in Genesis 3:5, "And when the woman saw....."  Soon after, she took the fruit. 

Solomon is telling us that we are to think about the path we take and be very deliberate in our choices. We will have much better progress in our Christian walk if we place the "blinders of God's Word" on our eyes.

It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
