I think you’ll agree that the health of your eyes and good eyesight is of critical importance: Good vision helps you in every aspect of your life.
The same is true when you consider your spiritual life. Good eyesight is an essential to spiritual health, and poor eyesight can be devastating. In Psalm 119, there’s a verse that focuses on the object of your vision:
Psalm 119:36-38
Turn my head and my heart to Your decrees
and not to sinful gain.
Keep my eyes from gazing upon worthless things,
and give me true life according to Your plans.
Verify Your word to Your servant,
which will lead me to worship You.
Instead of wasting your time on the worthless, invest it in the precious. Take a look at these “eyesight” verses:
- Psalm 19:8: The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
- Psalm 26:3: For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.
- Psalm 33:18: Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, and on those who hope in His mercy.
- Psalm 34:15: The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.
I’ll close with Psalm 119:18, and I encourage you to make it your prayer for today: Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.
