I will never forget, as an 18-year old walking back to my hotel in the streets of Waikiki, being approached by a woman asking if I would help do up her zipper. In 1980 I was on my way back to Toronto after my summer vacation in Malaysia. My friends and I made a 3-day stopover in Hawaii. I was walking back to my hotel alone because I had forgotten something. But, I will never forget this experience of being approached by a prostitute.
Proverbs 7:1
My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
Keep the commands of the Lord. Keep them close to your heart. Keep them written everywhere so that you do not forget. It is so easy to be caught in sin because it is enticing. So pleasurable. So inviting. Proverbs 7 goes on with good detail how a young man can be seduced into adultery and regret with his life. We cannot fall for this. We have the rest of our lives to live for His glory.

The eyes on a man is the doorway to his heart. He must be careful what he let's in. My prayer is that I will occupy my seeing with the Lord's eyes. Only He can help us to see what we ought to for His glory.
Father, give me your eyes O Lord so that I will do the next right thing.
