One of the most important parts of our body are our eyes. When we cannot see, we have a problem. When one of our senses, the other senses are heightened. Yet it seems that our sight and the health of our eyes is one of the most important thing we can have.
God says the same thing about us spiritually. We need to be able to see physically, but we also must be able to see spiritually. There are all sorts of things and happenings that keep our spiritual eyes from being healthy.
Matthew 6:22 NLT
“Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.
The eye is the lamp of the body. Make sure you stay healthy and clear of the things that hamper us and our hearts for God. To have great spiritual sight is to have a life hull of light.
Hebrews 12:2 NLT
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
How do we maintain great spiritual sight? We do that by keeping our eyes on Jesus. Watch Him. Watch for Him. Follow Him. Find out what He loves and how He works and what He is looking at with love.
Our spiritual eyes will allow us to be strong when there isn’t much strength. Strong and healthy spiritual sight will us to stay the course when life isn’t clear or is terribly hard.
Ephesians 1:18 NLT
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.
My prayer for me, for you and for those around me is that we will have eyes for God and eyes that continually look toward Him. There is nothing like have great vision or sight so we stay on track and stay where God desires us to be.
May our eyes be full of light and focused on the one who really matters so we can see what really matters!
