On holiday I went into a gift shop,and saw an ornament, the three wise monkeys ,one covered his eyes,the next covered his ears,and the last one covered his mouth.' This indicated that they saw no evil, heard no evil,and spoke no evil',if only we could be like those three monkeys.Our eyes take in so much that's good and so much that is bad,we look lustfully after a woman,and that can start a terrible process ,that can lead us into so much that is wrong. ,CP Genesis 3 v 6/ 1 Kings 11 v 2. Next our ears,what we listen to,recently I listened to a person who spoke about a man who was not very nice, afterwards ,I felt convicted and wish I had not listened to what was being told me. (Proverbs 20 v19.)Next we have wrong speaking,let us remember once we say something,we cannot draw those words back again.The words of James 1 v 26 read,'Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves'.There is a little children's song that goes.
' Be careful little eyes what you see,
Be careful little eyes what you see ,
There's a Father up above ,
looking down, with tender lover
So be careful little eyes what you see.
The hymn applies those words to our ears and our words,so let us be careful,as regards our eyes ,our ears ,and our tongues.
