Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them,
saying…
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if
therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body
shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness!
If our treasures are
in heaven so is our heart, we just learned that, right?
If our mind is
focused on Christ, on Christ in heaven, on heavenly things then we are single
minded and our life is fill with the light of Christ.
If our mind is
focused on evil then our entire life is filled with evil.
Light and darkness.
Joh_8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I
am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life.
Joh_3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is
come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil.
Joh_3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh_3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Joh_1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light
of men.
Joh_1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not.
Satan wants us to
train our thoughts on anything but heavenly things. Satan will do everything he
possibly can to keep our mind focused on things that are NOT ETERNAL. Satan
wants our light to be darkness, he wants our understanding to be of dark
things, he wants our focus on HIS false light. If we exist in a world that
keeps God out, that keeps the heavenly eternal existence at bay then we are
caught up in darkness and we are blind to true life. So many want us to just
focus on here and now, as long as we are kept from focusing on Christ and His
eternity, because you cannot be single minded for Christ without being focused
on eternity, then we are focused on a very dark end. If you truly do not
believe in an eternal life in Christ then your existence is cut off, you start
to imagine all sorts of possible life after death scenarios that are all lies.
Every single life after death scenario is shrouded in darkness because it's
filled with deception perpetrated by the evil on himself.
The Bible is very
clear on the grand scheme of things in our lives if we choose to listen to it.
Christ is our Savior from this world, He came preaching the kingdom of heaven, this was His mission, to bring the good news of eternal life in Him. His entire life was single minded and focused on heaven where the Heavenly Father resides, and wanting us to be there with Him in eternity.
Everything Christ
did was focused on heaven and eternity, everything. And He is our example. As our example we are
to be single mindedly focused on the heaven and eternity He revealed for us and
made possible to us. Our lives need to revolve around eternity with Him.
In today's world
living heaven centered is very rare.
The cares of this
life take over our very existence as Christ foretold.
Luk_21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time
your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this
life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
How easy it is for
us to be caught up in the cares of this life, how easy it is to lose the single
minded focus and let darkness into our lives.
Luk_9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Deny himself.
Take up his cross
DAILY.
Follow me.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if
therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body
shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness!
How incredibly great
is the darkness that overcomes us when we are not filled with the singleness of
our light in Christ.
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good
evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for
sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own
eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
There is so much of
this today, so incredibly much of this!
God please help our
eyes be single and full of the light of Christ!
Help us Lord.
Satan would have us
wrapped up so tightly in his darkness, in his deceptions that we never see any
light at all, but only the false light he uses to deceive.
Please LORD save us!
Be our all in all!
All in YOU!
All in YOUR LOVE!
YOUR AMAZING LOVE ALWAYS!
