About not being distracted… 9/7/07 |

| Proverbs 4:25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. 26 Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. 27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. | ||

The power of sin distracts us from walking Christ's straight
and narrow path. Sin draws our attention away from the right life, and
instead, sin makes us look at the wrong life. Sinful desires take us away
from what Christ wants for us and from us. To live a godly life we must
focus all our attention upon what is good and godly. We must look straight
ahead at Christ standing just before us. The path we take must be only the
path Christ wants us to take. We must not walk on paths that are unwholesome
and ungodly. We must walk straight ahead and not be distracted from all the
sinful attractions on the right or left of our path. When we walk, we must
not walk toward evil. Instead we must walk away from evil and toward
righteousness at all times. |
