Today’s world presents us with so many visual images flashing and enticing us with every blink of our
eyes that it is easy to both consciously and unconsciously contaminate our souls with useless trash that
has no real purpose or benefit to us.
Just as a home can be contaminated with mold or disease, so have our souls been dirtied with images, stories, and ideas presented in the world that are contrary to God’s nature and pureness. This is why (like a healthy home) it is imperative to guard the windows of our eyes which lead to our soul and to stop looking at anything that keeps our eyes from falling upon things that are not good:
“ Keep your eyes looking
straight before you and...
don’t turn them looking right or left.”
Proverbs 4:25,27
(paraphrased)
My dear friend, do not start every new year with a worldly resolution but instead 'purpose in your heart' as Daniel did in worldly Babylon as he “...resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food” (Daniel 1:8) to not consume things that are harmful to you. This means web sites, pictures, TV or movies that distract and pollute your soul (you KNOW what they are!)
Instead, ask God to help you open your eyes to only see and partake of those things which are clean and wholesome. Cast your eyes as much as possible each day on God’s Word! Open the eyes of your soul to those things which are pure and these will enrich and strengthen the core of your very being.
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
