  1. Where Are Your Eyes?

    Comments Off on Where Are Your Eyes?

    “Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.” — Proverbs 17:24 (NLT)

    Notice that Solomon doesn’t separate the wise from the foolish by intelligence in this verse. Instead, he points out that it’s connected to where they’re looking. The fool isn’t necessarily ignorant. He’s distracted. His eyes roam to the ends of the earth, always scanning for the next thing. A fool wants the far-off answer, the life he assumes is happening elsewhere. He always thinks the grass is greener somewhere else. The wise person, by contrast, doesn’t have to search to the ends of the earth. Why? Because wisdom isn’t far away. Moses told Israel that God’s word was “very near you” (Deuteronomy 30:14). The New Testament goes further: wisdom is not merely a principle but a Person. Christ Himself is “the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24).

    Sometimes, following Jesus is hard, really hard. It can feel like you’re running a marathon uphill with ankle weights on. And you’d rather cruise down a smoothly paved street on a skateboard.

    You know what I’m talking about. There are seasons we go through. Even though you read your Bible consistently, it feels like it’s going in one ear and out the other. Granted, church has amazing worship, but your heart’s not in it. Your mind is all over the place. Yes, you love Jesus yet feel bored, tired, or even numb. And ultimately, you just feel spiritually stuck.
