What do you see in Eli's eyes? Do you see sadness? Do you see loneliness? Do you see fear? You probably relate to something in Eli's expression, and that feeling is probably spoken through his eyes.
There is a reason the old cliche stands, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Our eyes find it nearly impossible to hide what's happening inside of us.
How much of what our eyes express is related to what they've been gazing at? Our eyes see many things during the day, and many times what they see is because of the choices we make. We choose to watch five to six hours of television. We choose to stare at our computer screens. We choose to stare at Pikes Peak.
What we focus our attention on affects what happens inside of us.
David made an conscious choice as to what he placed before his eyes. "For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness." Psalm 26:3 English Standard Version
Because David chose to look at God's steadfast love, his life was characterized by a faithful walk with God. You could probably see a life that was molded by God's steadfast love in David's eyes.
The cross of Jesus Christ reveals to us the steadfast love of God. It is this cross that changes us from the inside out. It is the cross that changes the look in our eyes.
May our eyes reveal to others a life that is renewed by the blood of Christ.
