I love this word. I love what it means, and how it sounds. There are so many beautiful things to gaze at in this world but the best to me is to gaze at my children. Watching them as they learn something new, sleep with such peace, play with one another and sing in the car. Every bit of it is so beautiful. But, as beautiful as that is, I know that looking to God and His goodness, greatness, and glory are truly worthy of gazing at.
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Prov 7:2
God says in His word that we are to keep His law (His WORD) as the apple of our eyes. I think of that as gazing at His word and truths and then living by them.
When things get tough: people don't act they way I think they should, my kids or husband don't live up to my expectations, my life is turned upside down by something unexpected, ...fill in the blank; I need to keep my eye on Him and his law as if it was the only true thing.
Today I want to
gaze a little more at God's word and His truths for my life and live by them.
