Matthew 6:22,23
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness." NIV
"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness." KJV
They eye is the window to the spiritual condition of our hearts. The closer we draw to God, the more His light comes through our window. The greater the light, the more it overpowers the brightness of the things from this world. The opposite is true. The more we are drawn to material and earthly things, the brighter they become. Then the things of God's eternal kingdom become darkened. We cannot have both the light of God and the darkness of this world. The one we favor will overcome the other. Are our eyes healthy and our body full of God's light?
Heavenly Father, it is such a comfort that You know us and our weaknesses. How grateful we are that You have given us eyes to see Your light so that the things of this world will not overcome us. Help us to keep our eyes on the light of Your truth so that our whole bodies will be full of Your light. In Jesus' name, Amen.
