“Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! – Matthew 6:22-23 NLT
In Matthew 6:22 it makes reference to your EYE….
Your Light is controlled by your EYE….
What do you find yourself watching on television?
Where are you surfing on the Internet?
What were the headlines on the magazines at the checkout line?
Do you find yourself getting numb to images that fill you with darkness? Pornography, war, murder, kidnappings, gangs, terrorism, violence for entertainment.
I did a survey the other day. It was regarding a new PSA. Our task was to tell how we felt about the organization before we saw the ad. Then what we felt after we saw the ad. It was literally a porn star doing a photo shoot basically nude. She was promoting animal rights.
I have to ask myself what do I want to LIGHT MY LAMP with….Good Light or Darkness?
What is lighting your Lamp?
Theresa,
Thanks for stopping by my photo blog. I’ve enjoyed this devotional. Good reminder of what I want to light my lamp with!
Theresa, good reminder about what we let our eyes see. Images are so hard to erase once they are in your thought patterns. It’s much smarter to stop them before they get there!
