February 20 – Good Eyes – Bad Eyes

Matthew 6:22-24
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness, how great is that darkness!  No one can serve two masters..…”

So how is your eye today? The eye shines from the heart---so however your heart is---in darkness or light----good or evil---that is how your life is. We make choices moment by moment---we judge each situation, each interaction. Take your thoughts captive---purposefully choose to think holy thoughts, have holy actions, and speak holy, pure words. In doing that we’ll serve the ONE true Master, pleasing Him. Isn’t that what life is all about? As it is written, you can’t serve more than one master. Be careful what you allow to rule your life. Money, fame, entertainment…or Jesus. You choose. Like Joshua, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”  Joshua 24:15

Lord, give us grace to see things through your good and perfect eyes---and to choose wisely.
