Proverbs 4:25-27 says, “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.”
We may be distracted by something interesting on our right or left when walking or driving. But these distractions can become dangerous with prolonged attention given to them and they may keep us from reaching our desired destination. In the same way, the world tempts us with many distractions, so we must persevere in keeping our eyes on Jesus as He leads us in paths of righteousness.
