The last words of this verse put the matter concisely. Self, the world, possessions,

ambitions, anything other than the Lord Himself, make us doubleminded, unstable,

impure, and darkened.

The days in which we live, the urgent call for faithful witness, have brought this

thought of singleness prominently before us. Let us hold fast the faithful word. Let us, in

all our service, and in all our ways acknowledge Him. May our eyes be single, and our

motives pure.
