Keep your eyes wide open

S - Scripture
Proverbs 24 v. 19  Fret not yourself because of evil doers, and do not be envious of the wicked.

O - Observation
Eyes wide open! With God on our side, who can be against us? Sure evil doers will scheme and plan, and these plans could adversely effect us. We need to be aware, we need to have our eyes wide open. But those do not need to be eyes of fear. 2 Corinthians 2 v. 14a, "But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph." With this confidence, we can approach the schemes of the evil doers. Having our eyes wide open can also distract us, clearly the wicked have fun for the moment. We need to look past that and towards even better things. Colossians 3 v. 2, "Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth." Our eyes need to twinkle with this knowledge, this joy. Psalm 149 v. 3a -4, "Let them praise his name with Dancing! For the Lord takes pleasure in his people."
 
A - Application
Do my eyes twinkle and reflect the joy of the Lord?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Keep my eyes wide open and focused on you.  Love Will.
