Let Your Eyes Look Straight Ahead

Proverbs 4:25
기원전 10~4세기
ORIGINAL
עֵינֶיךָ לְנֹכַח יַבִּיטוּ
📜 THE VERSE

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Watching where others are on their road, am I losing sight of my own path ahead?

📝Reflection

The most common reason we lose our way is looking sideways instead of ahead. The instant we check how far others have gone, whether they are ahead or behind us, our own step wavers. The Hebrew sage says to fix the gaze forward. Sideways glances breed envy and anxiety, and those two pull a person off their own road. As a runner loses speed when watching the next lane, life loses its own pace the moment it compares. To keep your eyes on the one step before you — that is the simplest secret to going far without wavering.
