Taking Good Care Of Your Eyes

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Your eyes are a gift from God to behold this beautiful and wonderful world – the earth, He created. But the enemy has somehow found a way of introducing sin and evil into the world.
Through people on earth, many unholy things have almost become a norm in the world today. Though your eyes are to see but not everything you see is good for your eyes. The bible tells us that

“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.

Matt. 6:22 NLT.

What you see affects your body. Witnessing a traumatic event affects your mind and body. Also when you watch morally unfit videos it affects your body.

Watch out for videos or movies that show sexual content even if they have PG16 labels on them. Remember God is Holy and watching such videos or films is an unholy act.

Don’t be fooled by the words of your friends or people that watching it won’t affect you. It will. The only safe way out of it is not to watch it and run away from friends, people, or situations that will want to make you do so.

It is better to obey God than to have the coolest friendships that will lead you to a lifetime of sexual depravity.
One way to know if what you are watching is bad is when you have to hide from others before you watch. That means you are not meant to watch it.

Remember, your eyes are a lamp for your body. They help to keep you from stumbling. Use them well just like you would use a lamp to see in the dark.

God bless and keep you safe in this dark world. Amen.

Prayer point:
Lord, help me to keep my eyes safe from looking at things that I shouldn’t be looking at.

Action point:
What have you been watching lately? If they are not in line with God’s, pray and ask God to help you overcome them. And tell your parents about it too.

Declaration:
My eyes will not behold iniquity. I watch what I see.
