In a world system filled with vanity, the admonition of the psalmist is one we should all take to heart. The adversary of men’s souls is very clever in using the “eye gate” to gain access to the mind. The Lord Jesus’ instructions to His disciples illustrates how important proper spiritual eyesight really is. Remember that Samson found sin blinds, binds, and grinds. —Wm. H. Gustafson
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim;
In the light of His glory and grace. —Helen Lemmel
