Proverbs 5:21 (nasb) --- For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD,And He watches all his paths.
The first thing I notice about people is their eyes. You can often tell if a person if sick or tired. You can tell if they are excited or fearful. Often you can tell if they are up to no good.
What I like most is when you meet a person, maybe for the first time, who loves God, and you can tell it in their eyes. Eyes are a big part of who we are. I cannot imagine what it is to be blind, yet I know what it is to be spiritually blind. Sin does that. When we stop listening to God, we are blind.
Here is one of my favorite verses about that truth:
Ephesians 1:18 (nlt) --- I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
God wants us to see in every way possible, yet I find people who don't want to see. Maybe its not seeing what God is up to or they just want what is selfish. I am told that when you loose one sense, like smell or sight, that all other senses become much better.
Friends, we need to protect our eyes. Think about it.
Psalm 25:15 (nlt) --- My eyes are always on the Lord,for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
If we cannot see physically, we are in trouble. If we cannot see spiritually, we are in huge trouble.
Psalm 19:8 (nasb) --- The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
I pray as people look into my eyes that they will see that I love my family, I am enjoying life, but best yet I love God and am doing what He has called me to do.
