Matthew 15:14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.
I’m sure we have all seen films, clips or even live action of people walking into walls, glass, doors or lampposts. Each one because they did not see where they were going.
If we have our eyes open and are attentive to our surroundings, most of the time we will not fall into ditches and such.
We have to keep our eyes open to the spiritual ditches and pitfalls in our lives and not just the physical ones.
God wants to keep us safe and if we cannot keep our eyes on the pitfalls, then we need Him to guide us continually so we can be safe.
