Job’s Final Appeal 

I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?

Job 31:1 (ESV)

Job tells us that he has made a covenant with his eyes. He goes on to ask the question, “Since I have made this vow – why would I look on a young woman to lust after her?” 

Our vows and our actions should go hand in hand. What we say and what we do – should be consistent. God expects us to keep our covenant and to live up to our vows. Why? Because God always keeps His covenant. 

Prayer

Abba Father, we worship You. We bow down to Your Lordship over our lives. You are the all-knowing God who sees all our thoughts and our ways. May we be committed to living a life of integrity and holiness. Let our 'Yes' be a 'Yes,' and our 'No' be a 'No.' We love You, Lord, and we want to honor our covenant for Your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
