    You must not go about following your hearts and your eyes. —Num. 15:39.


    Jehovah has profound insight into human nature. He well knows how easily our heart, or inner
    self, is seduced by what we take in through our eyes. The Bible thus warns us:

    “The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.

    Who can know it?â€￾ (Jer. 17:9)


    In our day,
    it is even easier for our treacherous heart to be seduced by our physical senses. We live in a
    world that is geared toward appealing to fleshly inclinations.
    So
    how can we apply the principle behind today’s text?

    Consider: If
    those around you at school, at the workplace, or in your community

    are dressing more and more provocatively,might you be affected? Might you be tempted
    to ‘follow
    your heart and eyes’ and be seduced by what you see?

    Then
    might you be tempted to lower your own standards by dressing in a similar manner?
    —Rom. 12:1, 2.
