“My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.” - Proverbs 23:26
There is a connection to capture here: Your heart and your eyes. When we give the Lord our heart, our eyes will follow. The things of this world will lose their desire. The more we surrender our heart, the more we can be transformed into His image.

From the beginning of humanity, the enemy has been trying to pull us away from the will of God by deceiving us.

It was too late in the morning for people to go to work late and too early in the afternoon for people to leave work early. Genius. People won't be able to make it to the visiting hours. It will be quiet and the suffering will be minimal.
