Proverbs 4:10-27

As you hike, you must look down and watch your step. You must also look ahead in order to stay on the correct path. And you should look up in order to see the beauty.

We also need to keep our eyes down, forward, and up in our Christian walk.

1. Keeping Our Eyes Down:

Keeping our eyes down on the path refers to personal purity, living the Christian life in a way that honors Him.

1 Peter 2:21

Psalm 25:10

Psalm 19:105

Matthew 7:24-27

Hindrances along our journey: the world, the flesh, the devil. Sin calls to us but ultimately erodes our character and leads to regret.

Hebrews 12:1-2–Throw off what hinders us.

2. Keeping Our Eyes Forward:

We must keep our eyes forward to see God’s vision and purpose for us.

Great commission (Matthew 28)–share the good news.

3. Keeping Our Eyes Up:

Be in awe and wonder of our God.

Philippians 4:4-8–View the beauty.

Psalm 121–My help comes from the Lord.

“Lord, make us awake and aware of Your presence.”

Psalm 16:11
