Proverbs 4:25 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:25

Let thine eyes look right on
To the path of truth and holiness, without turning or looking to the right hand or left, as it is afterwards expressed; to the word of truth, as the rule to walk by; to Christ, the author and finisher of faith, from whom all grace, and the supplies of it, are to be had; and to the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God; and thine eyelids look straight before thee;
to the precepts of the word, to observe them; to the promises of it for encouragement; to the examples of the saints gone before, as motives to excite diligence, and to exercise patience, faith, and hope; to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life, and to the blessed hope laid up in heaven.

Proverbs 4:25 In-Context

23 More than anything you guard, protect your mind, for life flows from it.
24 Have nothing to do with a corrupt mouth; keep devious lips far from you.
25 Focus your eyes straight ahead; keep your gaze on what is in front of you.
26 Watch your feet on the way, and all your paths will be secure.
27 Don't deviate a bit to the right or the left; turn your feet away from evil.
