Proverbs - Surrendering Our Eyes and Eears

Proverbs 20:12

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.
                
The Lord has given us ears to hear and eyes to see.  He has made all things for His purposes including our ears and eyes.  Both of these need to be surrendered to Him and used by Him to help us accomplish all that He has for us to do and realize. 

Our ears should be hearing songs that praise Him, words that encourage and hearts that open up with needs and concerns.  Our eyes should see beauty He has made, entertainment that is appropriate and into the eyes of those who need a touch from Him. 

In Romans chapter 12 we are told to present our bodies to the Lord as a means of service or worship.  We can do this every day when we shower and clean the outside, we can present all of our body parts to the Lord to be used by Him in a way that He desires them to be used.  Our body parts are to be surrendered to the Lord as servants of righteousness.  Our ears can hear a need or concern and go and meet it.  Our eyes can see a problem or conflict and we can be peacemakers to bring about a healing.  The Lord has made our hearing ears and the Lord has made our seeing eyes.  Let us remember that if He has made them, He knows how we are to use them.
