Sight

Genesis 3:6 KJV
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

The sense of sight is one of our most precious faculties.
• To take in the beauty of the ocean waves crashing on the shore
• To gaze at the size and grandeur of Mount Rainier
• To drink in the beauty of one's spouse
Who could challenge God for giving us this gift?

But our eyes can be the most useful tool in the devil's arsenal against us. We are so quickly drawn into sin with our eyes.
• Lust
• Covetousness
• Desire
are driven by the sight

And so Job said, "I made a covenant with mine eyes... " How needful is this covenant in our day of access to every form of worldly advertisement; not to mention immodesty!
