Watch what you see

“I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.” (Psalm 101:3 ESV)

Be careful

With all that is shown in movies and TV, advertiser’s commercials and electronic devices, it is almost impossible to avoid seeing a lot of stuff that is “worthless”. But, never the less, we are commanded in Scripture to be careful what we put before our eyes because it will affect us negatively.

The eye is a lamp of the body

“Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” (Luke 11:34-36 ESV)

Therefore…

“Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.” (Psalm 119:37 ESV)

“Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.” (Prov. 4:25)
