Eyes #8

As we continue our look at the eyes and what they focus on....check out this statement from God's Word:

Romans 3:18

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

Wow! I hope this is not describing you or me! This statement tells me one thing...if we are found in this state before God we have no knowledge of God! Look what the bible says here:

Proverbs 1:7

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.

We are fools who in our eyes do not fear the Lord. How many today feel like the Word of God is burden some and will not receive His instruction? Look around it don't take long to figure out. God knows whats best for us, and His Word lighten our burdens, the devil is the one who tries to make us think following Jesus is no fun. Following Jesus is the ultimate life!

Here is more description of those whose eyes do not fear the Lord:

2 Peter 2:14

14 They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!

This sounds just like day to day lives in the USA and around the world don't it?

Not good! Keep those eyes focused on Jesus and fear the Lord it is good for the soul!
