"Be careful little eyes what you see"

I couldn't have heard this song at a more opportune time than I did yesterday. I heard a little girl singing "oh be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little eyes what you see, for the father up above is looking down in love, oh be careful little eyes what you see" and that caught my attention.
Everywhere, the magazines in the grocery store, the commercials on TV, the internet- you stumble onto stuff even when you are not searching. The people with whom we interact,the places we go, the things we say - everything.
Its the second glance that makes all the difference and Michs little feet are sure to follow after mom and dad.
I thought about myself and people in my life that are going through some serious pain because of the decisions they made. I'm thankful for the grace but sadly we have to pay and the price has been very dear.
Its not easy to follow and the Peter doesn't make it any easier when he says
"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness" 2Peter 1:3
For real? you mean I can do this? I have been equipped to live a godly life?
Not on my own I can't but through Christ who gives me the strength.




Here are the lyrics in case you want to sing along or just read them.

Slow Fade by Casting Crowns
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
