A covenant

One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.

Turn my eyes
from looking at what is worthless;
give me life in Your ways.

Let your eyes look forward;
fix your gaze straight ahead.

Don’t gaze at wine because it is red,
when it gleams in the cup
and goes down smoothly.

But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

For everything that belongs to the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s lifestyle—is not from the Father, but is from the world.

Think

Don’t lust in your heart for her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.

But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
