Keep your eyes on Him

Let your eyes look straight ahead. (Proverbs 4:25)

I had always heard that if a farmer keeps his eyes on a distant object while he's powing, he'll make a straight furrow. I tested the principle when I mowed my lawn. Sure enough, my first cut was a straight swath....

Surely the principle should also be true of life--especially if the object on which you fix your gaze is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

According to Proverbs, the wise person can walk the straight path and not be diverted. In fact, the whole book of Proverbs is about following a straight path. But the Bible doesn't just advise, "Be wise!" It introduces us to Jesus Christ. The truly important question is our relationship to Him.
