Proverbs 4:25 TPT — Set your gaze on the path before you. With fixed purpose, looking straight ahead, ignore life’s distractions.

I enjoy reading different translations of scripture. I have recently discovered TPT, “The Passion Translation.” The translation I commonly use is NIV, “New International Versión.” Proverbs 4:25 NIV — Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.

What do you think a  “fixed purpose” means?

Fixed is defined as not fluctuating or varying. While purpose is defined as the reason for which something is done or created.

When we look at a tree or flower, we know that God created it with a purpose, just like he created each of us for a purpose. Through God’s word we gain wisdom. It is our guide to maneuvering through life. No matter what task is at hand, it is already fixed in place by our omnipotent God. He chose you for this task. God knows and understands there will be distractions. 

Will you go confidently today with the mindset that God chose you for a fixed purpose? 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for creating me with a fixed purpose. Help me to go confidently about my day with Godly confidence. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
