Eye Is Light

 When we give our will and life over to the care of God, we often refer to it as coming out of darkness into light. The darkness is the unmanageable life we have left behind and the light is the new life we are given by God who we believe will restore us to sanity.

 A blind person does not have light in their eyes and therefore they cannot see. We have been blind to the ways of God and our blindness brought the darkness of sin into our minds and bodies. People do not see well when they are on a dark path. Now that our eyes are being opened to the light of who God is and His wondrous ways, we are beginning to see light and new ways of doing and behaving according to the principles that God has conveyed to us through the Scriptures.  

Your eye is the lamp of your body;  when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light;  but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. So watch out that the light in you is not darkness.  (Luke 11:34-35 NASB)

Having the illumination of God‘s Word as recorded in the Bible will enlighten our way, and as we choose to obey His Word we will walk together with Him in the light of His presence. That does not mean our way will always be smooth, but it does mean we have light to see what lies ahead and understanding of what will happen should we choose to ignore God’s principles.

For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6 NLT)

Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You for bringing me out of darkness and for giving me light to see and understand Your ways.  My desire is to practice Your principles in all my affairs. Amen
