Turn Your Eyes!

Psalm 119: 37
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.

If you’re at all like me, my life is often filled with being consumed with things that are pretty worthless.
Compared to God, what or who could compare with His likeness?

Our family exchanges names for the Christmas Holiday season.
I’m not sure who has my name, but I sent off a list yesterday, of things to help them along just a bit. (hint-hint!)

Let’s face it, we don’t want to be disappointed at Christmas—right?
Those things that were on my list, will certainly become worthless at some point.

The things of God though, are eternal.
Maybe I need more devotion to the things of God? How about you?

Devotion to God implies ardent affection, and a yielded heart to Him with complete reverence and faith.
The Roman Centurion who asked Jesus to heal His servant, was identified as a… “devout man”.

What a label for a guy who hardly knew Jesus.
Maybe he was devout, because he actually feared God?

I guess this is the key to being really devoted.
This guy must have loved God, because without love, one can’t be devout.

Maybe he actually turned his eyes away from worthless things
