We should guard our eyes and ears for our spiritual journey. Our senses are doors to our hearts and minds. The information that we get through our ears and eyes affects our minds and hearts. The Bible teaches us to be careful about what we see and hear because these organs play an important role in making decisions in our lives.
The story of David and Bathsheba reminds us to guard our eyes. In that story we can learn that David was tempted when he saw Bathsheba. Later, he committed adultery in the sight of the Lord. He suffered a lot due to his sin. Here we can learn that we should guard our eyes to avoid sin.
Jesus warns us to be careful about what we listen to. He teaches that listening to false teachings can confuse our minds and lead us away from the truth. By guarding our ears, we protect ourselves from doing evil.
Let us guard our eyes and ears to honor God and keep our hearts pure. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can discipline ourselves and focus on what is good and true.
