Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. (Proverbs 4:25-27 NLT)
On either side of the "safe path" is a ditch into which people can easily fall. If you get distracted and lose perspective on where you are it's almost certain you will stumble into one of them yourself. Fix your eyes on "what lies before you" (Hebrews 12:2) and don't look away to the temptations vying for your attention. You may wreck your entire life if you do!
