Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee (Proverbs 4:25)
Don’t look back! Because when you look back, you shall become a salt pillar, just like Lot’s wife.
The angel of the Lord commanded Lot and his family, to leave their city and not look back, but Lot’s wife became disobedient to the Word of God. She looked back and became a pillar of salt.
When you become a new creation in Jesus Christ, your old life has gone, and your new life, in Jesus Christ, will begin. But when you keep looking back to your old life, and cannot let go of the past, you will become a pillar of salt.
Look forward
Don’t look around, because when you do that, you can become distracted from your goal. But look forward, let your eyes look right on.
The Father has a plan for your life. He has created you for a special purpose, that only you can fulfil.
You can only fulfil His plan, if you stay in His will, and stay obedient to Him.
God doesn’t want you to become distracted by other people, by situations, by circumstances etc. but He wants you to keep your eyes upon the Word; upon Jesus, and look forward and keep on walking forward.
When your eyes stray to other people, to their position in the ministry, or their success and prosperity, you might become discouraged. If you become discouraged, there is a possibility that you might give up, and that’s not what God wants.
You are unique
The Lord doesn’t want you to compare yourself to others, nor does He want you to look at other people’s blessings. Remember that you are unique and that the Lord has a plan for your life!
You are made for a special purpose, that only you are able to fulfil. But it’s up to you, whether you want to fulfil His plan or not, because the Lord has given you a free will.
When you want to fulfil His plan for you life, than your eyes need to look forward and your eyelids should look straight before you, all the time.
Don’t be distracted by what is going on around you, but keep your eyes upon Jesus Christ, your Leader. Follow Him, and stay in Him; the Word.
