YOUR EYE IS THE LAMP OF YOUR BODY / LUKE 11:34

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 11:34

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

YOUR EYE IS THE LAMP OF YOUR BODY / LUKE 11:34

The eye is the body’s gateway to light and images – Physically and even spiritually. If the eye is healthy, then a person can fully receive and use light and determine clearly what an image truly is. But if a person’s eyes are blinded or weakened, then darkness will change or twist what lies before them and affect what they can do. This passage has both literal and symbolic implications.

  1. We must be careful what we choose to view and take into our lives through our eyes. Our physical and spiritual eyes take in only what we expose ourselves to. If images and ideas are ungodly and evil, they will cloud and corrupt our minds spiritually and keep us from following God and His plans.
  2. When people’s spiritual eyes (their attitudes, motives and desires) are directed toward God and His purposes, then the light of His Word enters their hearts to produce the blessings, benefits, character traits and outward evidence of spiritual salvation and devotion to God (Galatians 5:22-23). But if their desires are not focused on the things of God, then God’s revelation and truth are hidden. 
  3. We must continually examine our lives to make sure that our spiritual eyes are open and clear from sin so that God’s Word can purify, renew and transform our lives inwardly and outwardly. Do we respond to the teaching or reading of God’s Word with a spirit that reflects true love for Him, a deepening hunger for His Word and the desire to serve His purposes? Or, in spite of all the godly messages and Bible teaching we have received, is there a spiritual dryness and deadness in our souls that keeps us troubled and enslaved to sin? If so, we should confess our sins, open our hearts to God, turn from our own way and begin following God’s light and purposes again. With our spiritual eyes opened, we will see that there is no room for compromise.
