Scripture Reading: Job 31:1 (NKJV)
“I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?”

Reflections: In the midst of intense suffering and false accusations, Job declares his commitment to living a pure life. Despite his friends’ belief that his suffering was due to hidden sin, Job maintains his innocence and reveals that he has made a covenant with his eyes, promising not to look lustfully at a young woman. A covenant is a solemn, binding agreement, and Job’s pledge was his way of ensuring that he upheld God’s standards. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, we can follow Job’s example by committing our eyes, mind, and heart to purity, with the Holy Spirit’s help. Such a commitment keeps us focused on God’s ways, shielding us from sin and helping us live a life that honors Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me resist temptation and honor You in all I do.

Confession: I have made a covenant with my eyes, my heart, and my mind to walk in purity.
