Proverbs 4:25

Let your eyes look directly ahead (toward the path of moral courage) and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you (toward the path of integrity).

Our focus is so crucial to our spiritual life and growth. It is so easy to get distracted and lose track of what benefits us in our daily lives. Daily mind renewal and focus on the Word of God will keep our hearts close to Jesus. We stray and get distant when we allow our focus to stray from the Word of God.
