Proverbs 4:25

“Let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.” (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“Let your eyes (`ayin: sight, mental qualities, mental and spiritual faculties, spring, fountain) look (nabat: behold, consider, regard, see, respect, pay attention to) directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of (yashar: direct, right, well, fitted, upright, level, upright, just, lawful, smooth, straightforward) you.”

SUMMARY

Let your mental and spiritual eyes stay fixed straight ahead - focused on the direct way in front of you.


MEDITATION

The trouble is, there's always plenty of things fighting for our attention. Family obligations, work, finances, health issues - the list could go on and on. That is what makes this verse so applicable. Keeping your gaze fixed on the things of the LORD will often eliminate alot of trials and distractions. So today, look up to the One who holds your every step in the palm of His mighty hand. He will make your steps sure!
