“And Saul eyed David from that day and
forward.” 1 Sam 18:9
Spurgeon
said, “All the preaching in the world cannot make a man to see the truth as
long as their eyes are closed.” Sadly too many Christians live their lives with
their eyes wide shut. They are so
focused on that around them they are blinded to the truth before them. Saul was
more focused on what angered him, rather than what would help him. Psa 121 “I will lift up mine eyes into the hills,
from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord…” What our eyes (mind) focus on our heart will ponder
thus creating a will to act. We’re vulnerable to anything catching our eye thus
our heart; we must guard our heart by focusing our eye on the Lord. David was not Saul’s problem, but the distraction
satan had him set his eye on, and kept it there (from that day and forward).
Oh the beauty and blessings we’ve missed in this life, which God has passed
before us, all because we were missed focused. Know direction comes from the eye;
where are you headed?
Our
eyes need to learn to listen before they look.
