"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes..."-Psalms 101:3
It was at least 2,400 years ago when the Psalmist, David, penned these words. I find it amazing that this was long before the days of R-rated movies and dirty magazines, but yet he realized the importance of "setting no wicked thing before our eyes." If it was that important 2,400 years ago, then how much more important it must be today!
Jesus said in Matthew 6:22-23, "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" We cannot expect to set evil things before our eyes, and yet retain a pure heart and soul before the Lord.
Let us guard our souls, and make sure that what we set before our eyes is pleasing to the Lord.
"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."-I John 2:16
