Your eyes take in everything around you, just like a video camera. If the things you see are good then you are filling your mind with healthy things, but if they are bad then the opposite is true. We need to guard our eyes whenever possible to shield our heart, soul, and mind from darkness. We cannot possibly block out every negative or evil image that passes before us, especially in today’s society and culture, but we can take steps to minimize our exposure.
You have a conscious choice about the television shows or movies you watch, the websites you visit on the internet, or even the commercials you watch on TV. When a person of the opposite sex crosses your path don’t let your eyes wander or take a second glance as they pass by. Guarding your eyes is a hard thing, but you have to train your eyes to focus on the light and avoid the darkness. Keep your eyes healthy and your reward will be great!
Matthew 6:22 (NLT) - “Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.”
