Psalms 101:3 (NAS)
I
will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall
away; It shall not fasten its grip on me.
Psalms 101:3 (NIVUS)
I
will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they
will not cling to me.
You have probably heard the expression, "You are what you eat." This is true to a certain extent, but there are many other factors that contribute to who and what you are. You are influenced by what you see, what you hear, and the company that you keep. All of these are things that you control.
It is important that you do not make it a practice to look at nor consider wicked and destructive things. They are without profit and worthless. These things originate from Satan, who desires to wear you out and use you up. Following after these things will only bring complete and total ruin.
Those who have swerved away from Adonai, the Almighty God, fashion and do things that are not pleasing to Him. You should hate their works, for they are opposed to the One you worship and serve. These have fallen away from the Truth. Do not join in their unfruitful and sinful ways, but cleave and cling to Jehovah the Lord. Follow after His words and ways, for in them you will find life.
