1 Timothy 5:22 (NIV)
22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and
do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
Someone has said, “You cannot help the first look, but the
second is sin.” Jesus indicated that you can engage in immorality by a look.
The Bible places the “lust of the eye” right along with other major sins.
Listen: “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.”
Peter spoke of having “eyes full of adultery.” No wonder Job said, “I have made
a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Your eyes see
only what your soul allows them to see.
Thought for today:
Do I have myself in check?
