Read a Devotion this morning. It quoted David in Psalms 101. He wrote, “I will walk within the walls of my house with a perfect heart, I will set nothing wicked before my eyes”.

It spoke of “walking in my house”. It spoke of being familiar with what those in your house set before their eyes.

This can be an indictment of the stewardship of our
houses. Do you know what you are allowing your children to “set” before their eyes?

The devotion challenged Men to know what is being “set” before the eyes of their families.
What do you allow to be seen when the remote is in your hand?
What are you allowing your wife or children to have enter the portal of their eyes and make an imprint on their minds?

You know “darkness” when you see it.
Do you allow “darkness” to be implanted in the minds of those in your house?
How long do you remain on a show you know immediately is unsuitable? If you linger there a moment…you may be teaching a lesson to your wife or children.

Omission and commission are distinctly different. Determine to set nothing unsuitable in your line of sight. It’s not just suggestive or risqué visuals… it’s anything not moving you toward a Godly life.

One cannot help what passes by the window of your eyes…. however, you can help what you linger on, take a second look at or concentrate on. Know that what your son sees you lingering on or watching…he will inspect also.

“Sheep need a Shepherd” as the devotion said. Not a Shepherd to lead them astray…. but one
who “walks in his house with a perfect heart.”

Determine to walk toward and possess that “Perfect heart” David wrote of.

Be alert. Be aware.
Other eyes are constantly watching you. And learning.
