“Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil.” -Proverbs 4:25-27 (NASB)
Don't we who follow Jesus Christ because He is our Lord and Savior want our ways established in His Word and Truth? Do we not want to avoid falling for the attractions of evil things? Today's promises tell us just how we should go about accomplishing that objective. Actually it is accomplished by he grace of God who does it for us if we keep our eyes fixed on Him and His Word. We keep His Word in our heart/mind and we fix our gaze straight ahead in front of us. If we do this and keep our eyes on the path where our feet are walking, God establishes us and our habits and behaviors. We refuse to turn to the right or to the left for that is where the distractions and attractions for an ungodly life are. When we intentionally resist temptation and turn away from evil, God's ways become our ways and we bless God as He more abundantly blesses us.
