Take Your Eyes Off Man

I pray today brings me wealth. Not monetarily but spiritual health. You see I’ve been backsliding some. And I don’t like the feelings that have come. I took my eyes off the Lord and placed them on man. If you’ve ever done that I’m sure you’ll under stand Brothers and sisters even in Christ will often let us down. That is why we need to keep our eyes on the one who wore the thorny crown. Somehow I got lost in the shuffle, got turned all around. Had it not been for Jesus I’d never have been found. He’s always in the shadows till we reach for His hand. How can He keep on forgiving us, I don’t understand. We have temptations that are many. For it’s the devil who would love to snare you, for he has plenty. Old satan sits and calculates all our weakest parts. Whether it be a lustful eye or a hardened heart. He fills your mind full of things. In hopes to him your soul you’ll bring. That’s how easy it is with him, he just plants a little thought. He knows all our weakness and if we can be bought. That is why we must stay in Gods word and never turn our backs. That is why I’m praying for spiritual health to help take up the slack.
