EYES GLUED
Today's reading: Proverbs 17-18

"Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool's eyes wander to the ends of the earth." Proverbs 17:24 NLT

I have a tendency to allow shiny things to catch my attention. Things that draw my eye away from a task at hand, a destination I am headed towards or a goal I am wanting to reach.

I have to be specific in what 'time wasters' I allow into my day.

I have to be very careful as to what I allot my twenty-four hours.

For me, it's a matter of putting God's Word first on my list each morning. Before anything else is done. Before anyone else is up. Before my foolish eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

It's a deliberate act for me.

It's a choice I have to make.

It's a habit, and yes, some habits are good, I have made myself establish in my day's routine.

Or--well, my attention would be distracted, my focus would be interrupted and my heart would be divided.

What about you? What are you choosing to keep your eyes glued upon?
