We learned a chorus in Sunday School years ago. It went like this: be careful little eyes what you see…be careful little ears what you hear…be careful little hands what you do…be careful little feet where you go. There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love…Timeless truth.
Our hidden sin may not be seen by others, but the Lord knows all our thoughts even before we think them. Matthew 15:19 says, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” These sins defile those around us.
Matthew 5:28 says, “…whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Proverbs 6:33 says of the adulterous man, “Wounds and dishonor he will get, and his reproach will not be wiped away.” David beheld Bathsheba and a domino effect of sin followed.
