与眼睛立约

A Covenant with Eyes

保守自己清洁

——提摩太前书5:22

Keep thyself pure.

—1 Timothy 5:22

有人说：“你无法不看第一眼，但是第二眼就是犯罪。” 耶稣说人会因为多看一眼而犯奸淫罪。圣经把“眼目的情欲”和其他几个主要的罪列在一起。你看，圣经说：“因为凡世界上的事，就像肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲，并今生的骄傲，都不是从父来的，乃是从世界来的。”（约壹2：16）彼得曾谈到“眼中充满淫欲”。难怪约伯说：“我与眼睛立约，怎能恋恋瞻望处女呢？”（伯31：1） 你的眼睛看到的是你的灵魂所让你看的。

Someone has said, “You cannot help the first look, but the second is sin.” Jesus indicated that you can engage in immorality by a look. The Bible places the “lust of the eye” right along with other major sins. Listen: “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” Peter spoke of having “eyes full of adultery.” No wonder Job said, “I have made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Your eyes see only what your soul allows them to see.

今日祷告

愿我的眼定睛在你身上，主耶稣，因为我需要你的清洁和慈爱来充满我的心和我的灵。

Prayer for the day

May my eyes be on You, Lord Jesus, for I need Your purity and love to fill my heart and mind.
