Worthless things

Psalm 119:37a - "Turn my eyes away from worthless things." How often do we turn our eyes toward worthless things? This is a question we all need to ask ourselves everyday. Life is precious and every moment should be spent wisely. Of course, that doesn't mean that there should be no time for fun. Fun activities have their place and are important for relieving stress and keeping in tune and in fellowship with friends and family. Work activities can be just as condemning. Do we work for the glory of men or for the glory of God and His eternal purposes? The Scriptures command us to examine ourselves. We need to often take stock of our lives and examine what needs to be changed. I hope to begin every day with this prayer: "Turn my eyes away from worthless things."
