Be careful with “The Gaze”

Matthew 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body.  If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.  If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!   Sometimes I gaze at the wrong things.  I know when I am lusting over something God doesn’t want for me, but sometimes I still just gaze at it.    Of course if I set my sights on it long enough, I will be engaging in the behaviors I want to avoid.   If I kept looking at alcohol, I would soon drink it.   If I kept looking at the chocolate cake, I’d be eating it.    ….. we all have things we know we shouldn’t be gazing at.   Today, turn away!!
