15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.
17 The world passeth away and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
The life of Samson is a good example of one who was consumed by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. In Judges 13-16, we will notice the repeated use of the word “saw” “looked” “eyes” and his downfall. He was blind to God’s plan and purposes. But when he lost his sight (the Philistines took out his eyes) then he gained spiritual insight like never before.
We have to becareful with our eyes and what we see. Our eyes can lead to our down fall – “The lust of the eyes” It all starts with a look. Guard your eyes. Just imagine the ammount of temptation that would be reduced if you cannot see?
Think about it.
