Keep Your Eyes Fixed Forward

Written By Lettie Henley

"Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." — Proverbs 4:25-27

Today, I want to speak to your heart about focus, about keeping our eyes fixed on the path God has set before us. Proverbs 4:25-27 reminds us that a life of wisdom and purity begins with deliberate focus. When our eyes are fixed, we steer our hearts away from distractions, doubts, and temptations that can cause us to stumble.

The enemy loves to distract us with the busyness of life, temptation, or discouragement. But God’s Word calls us to look straight ahead, forgetting the past, not worrying about the future, and keeping our eyes on Jesus. When we fix our gaze on Him, our steps align with His will, and our hearts stay anchored in righteousness.

Living with purpose requires daily choices, to focus on what truly matters: His Word, His commands, His love. Plant your eyes firmly on your divine calling. When your gaze is fixed on God, His Spirit guides your decisions, keeps you from evil, and leads you into the fullness of His plans.

Start each day with a focused prayer: “Lord, help me fix my eyes on You. Guide my steps and keep me from the distractions that lead me astray.” Be intentional about your thoughts, words, and actions, align them with His purpose. When you feel your eyes wandering, return to His Word and promise: “I will keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith.”

A life fixed on Christ is a life that walks in wisdom, peace, and victory. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that your path will be straight, your steps steady, and your heart pure.

Prayer:

Father, I thank You for Your Word that guides my steps. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You today, away from distractions and temptations. Strengthen my focus, and fill my heart with Your purpose and love. Guide each step I take, so I may walk in righteousness and keep my path straight in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
