Scripture: Matthew 6: 21-23
If your profits are in heaven, your heart will be there too. “If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires, you are in deep spiritual darkness. And oh, how deep that darkness can be!
Scripture Commentary: Can you truly see in darkness?
In darkness you may see an image but not its true features. Satan will let you think the images you see are real and good for you. But in the light you will see the real thing.
Jesus will always place you and keep you in the light. The kingdom of Our Lord Jesus Christ is held before you so you can see His Magnificence.
With Jesus your spiritual vision gives you the capacity to see what God wants you to see and what He wants you to do. With our weak, self-serving desires we will never see what God has for us.
Stop storing up earthly materials.
Don’t spend your life collecting and storing your earthly goods only to die and leave it behind.
Fix your eyes on God. Have only one master in your life: Jesus! Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Fill your heart with His desires; take His character for your own. Serve and obey Him in everything.
Don’t let worries about tomorrow affect your relationship with God today. Today the light of Our Lord Jesus Christ shines on you!
