Matthew 6
New King James Version (NKJV)
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
Was reading this chapter and it occurred that this is a little deeper than face value. What we allow our eyes to gaze upon will determine what is in our heart. Do we take in uplifting, GODly, wholesome things into our visual realm, through book, cinema, or even what we concentrate on as we walk about or do we put energy into that which is unhealthy spiritually? You see this verse speaks lighting the whole body, the soul, your heart of hearts and it is important for we as CHRISTians to focus our gaze on heaven and allow the love of JESUS to illuminate us so fully that it spills out.
It is CHRIST that opens our eyes, HIS sacrifice, HIS love for us that opens our eye and makes it good as the scripture says, before our realisation and coming to JESUS our eye was bad and our life dark.
Today be aware of were you put your attention and your focus, on things of heaven or this of the world?
