Your eye is a lamp for your body.
A pure eye lets sunshine into your soul.
But an evil eye shuts out the light
and plunges you into darkness.
If the light you think you have is really darkness,
how deep that darkness will be!
Everything your eyes see is processed by your mind and then converted into words, images, concepts or ideas. These images or ideas are either true or false. As we set our eyes upon things, we have to be picky. 2 Samuel 11:2 teaches us that, “Late one afternoon David got out of bed after taking a nap and went for a stroll on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath.” This was the beginning of the darkest days of King David's life. He set his eyes onto something that he should never have seen which led to some really dark days. He allowed a temptation to come in through his eyes and he convinced himself that the darkness to come would bring him happiness. Be careful of what you see, your decision making might be altered and you could have many regrets in the future. Do you set your eyes upon things that you know are not good for you?

amen.
Amen.
I remembered one sunday school chorus that we usually sing...
"o be careful little eyes
what you see,
o be careful little eyes
what you see.
for the Father up above
is looking down below,
o be careful little eyes
what you see"
So true... it's so hard to forget what our eyes have seen.
