What are your eyes on?

One of my favorite bands is King and Country. There songs are so in line with the bible with a little kick to them! Listen to this song....Fix my eyes. Really listen to the words.







So what are your eyes on? What are you focused on doing in your life? Really it comes down to two choices....the world or God. Let's look at what God says:





Matthew 6:22-23

22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!



Deuteronomy 12:8

“You shall not at all do as we are doing here today—every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes—



Deuteronomy 13:18

because you have listened to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep all His commandments which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.



Psalm 19:8

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;



Psalm 101:3

I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.



Psalm 119:37

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.



Psalm 146:8

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.



Proverbs 3:7

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.



Proverbs 12:15

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.



Proverbs 23:26

My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.



Matthew 18:9

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.



Acts 28:27

For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”’



Romans 3:18

“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”



1 John 2:16

For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.



As you can see, God has much to say about where our eyes are and what we are focused on. Once again not much I can add. Reread these and let God speak to you and then evaluate yourself and see where you are looking. To the world or to God. The devil is good at fooling folks....don't be one of them! Your fruits determine where your eyes are focused so check them out.



On dear God helps us keep our eyes fixed on you and nothing else!
