Are You Monitoring The Things That You Are Allowing To Enter Into Your Life Through Your Eye and Ear Gates?

What are you taking in?   What are  you allowing into the gates of your life?    What are you looking at and allowing into your eye gates?   What are you listening to and allowing into your ear gates?    You have to be aware of the fact that what you look at and listen to will soon enter also into the gate of your heart.   

We have to understand that a gate is an opening.   It is a means of access that can either be swung, drawn, or lowered to either block an entrance or to allow access.    The question is, what are you allowing to have entrance and access to your life.  

We have to get to a point where we monitor what we let in.   The purpose of monitoring something is so that mistakes can be avoided.    When you have observed the outcome of situations in your life and what helped bring on the negative things in your life, it gives you a guide as to what to do and what not to do.    It helps you to know what things bring about wrongful desires in your life.   It helps you to know and understand what you should listen to and what you should look at in order to keep your heart and mind stayed on God.   

We can't totally stop looking at and hearing the things that promote sin in this world but we can limit the access it has into our hearts and minds by monitoring what we see and what we listen to.   

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Philippians 4:8 

King James Version (KJV)

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
