“My son attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” (Proverbs 4: 20-22).
In our journey to become godly men, we are always aware of the big pit falls that hinder us in reaching our goal; however, we fail to realize that it is our failure to be faithful in the little things that becomes our undoing. As we neglect the fundamentals and foundation of our walk with the Lord: prayer, spending time in the Word, fellowshipping with the Lord and other believers, we cease to feed our spirit man and the carnal man takes over. For men, the eyes are the gate to our souls. In Psalm 141:8, David said: “But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.” He also states in Psalms 101:3: “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.” David instructed his son Solomon not to let God’s truth depart from his eyes. As we meditate on God’s Word and the ways of God, the Holy Spirit writes these truths upon our hearts. They are there for us to draw upon when we need them. Men of God, we must be faithful in the small things. As we go about our daily activities, may God help us to be constantly aware of the things we allow access to our souls.
