The Light In You

Today's Scripture​

Matthew 6:22-23 AMPC

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!”
‭

TODAY'S WORD​

JESUS says that the lamp of the body is the eye. Your “spiritual eye” is your conscience. He adds that if the eye is clear, and your conscience is clear, life is good. You are going to be happy, filled with light. You will have a positive vision and will enjoy God’s blessings. But many people are living with a heaviness, a darkness, hanging over their lives. They have some nagging feeling, something’s always bothering them. They are not happy. The problem is that they do not have a clear conscience. They have ignored the warnings for too long.

When you are not doing what you know you should be doing in certain areas, your life gets darkened and heavy. Maybe God is dealing with you about having a better attitude, about something you have said, about spending more time with your children, about eating healthy or about what you watch and listen to. Whatever it is, make a decision that you are going to pay more attention to your conscience and that you are going to be quick to obey. When your conscience is clear, condemnation flees, and you are full of light.

Prayer For Today​

“Father, thank You that because of Jesus, my conscience can be clear and my life can be full of light. Search my heart and show me where there is any lingering darkness, any area where I need to change. Help me to keep my spiritual eyes sound and live free from condemnation, in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
