The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light within you is darkness, how deep is that darkness. (Matthew 6:22-23)
Just reflecting on those words today and thinking, “How good is my eyesight?” Do I see things rightly in my life?
Do I see the praise of people as more important than the praise of God? Who am I really trying to please?
Do I see the things of this world rightly? Do I put the proper value on them? Namely, as less important than God and his kingdom?
Do I see God as he is? As a good Father? As one who truly cares for me?
And do I see that because he cares for me, I don’t have to excessively worry about my finances, food, health, or any of my daily necessities, trusting he will meet my needs?
Lord, give me spiritually healthy eyes. Help me see things as they really are. Help me to see you as you really are. Let me walk each day in your light.
“For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light we see light.” (Psalm 36:9)
