Our Feet Go Where Our Eyes Look
25 Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet;
then all your ways will be sure.
27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil.
If you have almost driven off the road because you were looking some place other than the road in front of you, then you know the truth of the above proverbs. Solomon is telling us that God’s Word and Wisdom is right in front of us. The world has distractions beside us, behind us and below us. Satan wishes to deceive us. He likes to pull a “bait and switch” on us. God’s Word is true and has no ambiguity. As we look forward, straight at His Wisdom, we will be on the right path. He wants us to ponder our path continually. We should always make sure, daily, we are on the right path for Him. He gives us wisdom to stay on the path. Where we gaze we will graze. It is better to focus on the fields of the Savior than to be deceived by the destruction of Satan.
