Proverbs 11:3
The integrity of the upright shall guide them:
But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
It is often said that we walk in the direction our eyes are looking. If we look straight onto our God and savior, if we look straight into His Law of perfection, that is where our feet will also take us. Like a magnet, as we focus in the eyes of our Lord and Master, we are led in a straight and perfect path.
But oh, how can we expect to walk the straight and perfect path of God when our eyes are all over the place? How can we pray ‘Lord, lead us not into temptation’ when we go there of our own selves? Sometimes curiosity just gets the best of us, but curiosity did ‘kill the cat’.
Let us now therefore focus into the perfect law of God. Let not our eyes stray neither to the right nor to the left. Using the written Word, the Holy Spirit and prayer, let us keep our hearts minds and souls focused on Jesus and work our salvation with fear and trembling. Why should we meet the end of the transgressors?
