Exposition
Just as the sun brings
light to the world so the eyes bring light to the man. This shows how important
the eyes of a man are. We could be talking about the physical or the spiritual
eyes. These two verses of scripture lets us know that there are two types of
eyes, the good and the bad.
If your eye is good, your whole body will be full
of light – a translation says if your eye is single meaning
if your eye is focused, it will bring light. Single or focused towards Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith. Focused on the One who Himself is the light
of the world. Focused on Him, desiring His love and direction, depending on Him
and Him alone, then the result is light for living and impacting the darkness
around you.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be
full of darkness – On the other hand, if your eye is bad,
there is danger. If your eyes are distorted by greed or covetousness, living on
an island of Me, Myself and I or not accepting that Jesus is the way, the truth
and the life, you are surrounded by darkness.
How easy is it for the good eye to suddenly become
bad? Easy I suppose, if you do not pay attention to
what you allow your eye to look at, it becomes blurred and then goes bad. Be
careful and ask God to help you always. He looks after His own.
Prayer
Thank you Father for
giving me eyes to see. Help me to protect my eyes from arrows from the evil one
intended to lure me away from focusing on you.
Help me to do the
things that will cause my eyes to be focused, including study of the word,
prayer and not forsaking Church.
Let your light fill my
life, let my body be filled with light all the days of my life in Jesus name.
Amen
