Do you have perfect vision?
The past few years I’ve had to use reading glasses to see up close. Without them, I can barely read—unless the lighting is very good. With bright light my vision is clearer and I see more focused.
Jesus was telling his followers and us in Matthew 6:22-23 (our memory verses for this week) that light is critical to vision. With healthy views, we can see clearer and stay more focused.
As you meditate on these verses this week, look for light sources around you to remind you of the Light source within you. Keep Him shining brightly.
How do you keep your eyes healthy, physically and spiritually? Please share in the comments.
I’ve actually started taking vitamins that are supposed to help my vision. Thanks for this post, as I’ve struggled with finding the practical application for it. Even its placement in the chapter is tough to keep in my memory.
I hope that the vitamins will help your vision, Michele. I’m due for an eye checkup soon and hopefully new glasses are in my future.
These verses are difficult for me, too. What helps me transition is that verse 21 was about the heart, then 22 goes straight to the eye as the lamp of the body. Those things are similar to me. And that what we treasure, we keep lit. I’m still working on it too, obviously. :)
