What I look at with my eyes says a lot about who I am. What do I watch? What do I read? Who do I look at? How long do I look? Why do I look? What should my hazel eyes choose to take in?
There are things that I should and shouldn’t look at. I noticed an interesting play on the use of eyes while reading in Psalm 119.
Psalm 119:18 – Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.
This is followed shortly by:
Psalm 119:37 – Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.
Lord, open (close) my eyes so I can learn how to use them correctly. Your law is worth looking at, illuminate it for me. Break the gaze I hold with things that I should not, and give my eyes new life.
Lord, direct my gaze. Show me how to see things through Your eyes. If my eyes tell a story about who I am, let them tell about what I have learned of You.
