Worthless Things

May we follow David's example as he penned, "I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me." 
(Psa 101:3 NASB) 








What worthless things do we set before our own eyes? The word translated as worthless can carry the idea of destruction or ungodliness. The King James translates the first part of verse 3 this way: 

 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.

These things are all around us. The funny thing about worthless, wicked things...they have a way, as the Psalmist writes, of "fastening its grip on us." Let us keep diligent to keep our lives free of all that does not honor our Saviour.
