Men put “blinders” on their horses to keep them from being distracted by peripheral things. God’s word can work for us in the same way. It can keep us focused on what is important and train us not to be concerned with the sins of this life that so easily ensnare. Many auto accidents could be avoided just by paying less attention to the peripheral things and staying focused on what is ahead. Many souls are saved and avoid much trouble by allowing God’s word to keep us focused on the things from above, spiritual things.
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:24)
