The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. Matthew 6:22 (KJV)
Many of you live in a place where you have streetlights that come on after dark, but have you ever noticed what happens in a power failure? The light of the moon becomes so bright in comparison. Where before you thought that the light you were seeing was bright, you realize that the moonlight was dimmed by the streetlights.
So many times the Lord is there for you, but the light you are looking at dims the truth, and you don’t see that He is there and that He cares. Maybe you think you have to work hard and get Him to bless you. Do you know that moonlight is just the sun’s reflected light? In the same way, the Lord wants you to realize that He is with you all the time, and that His blessing is available to you if you desire it. And in order to do that you have to take your eyes off what the world says.
Sometimes it takes a dramatic situation like having the power go out for you to realize it, but today you can make a choice, to take your eyes off of your situation, off of what other people say, and stand upon the Word. And your eyes will be opened to how much He loves you, and how much you have in Christ.
Then it doesn’t matter what street you live on, and if the power is on or off but His light touches you wherever you are.
So today just desire in your heart, to see things how the Lord sees them. To look at the mountains in your life in the light of His promises. That is how hope and faith is birthed in you. And when you add love, no problem that is before you can stand.
So next time you have a problem, instead of complaining about how dim your prospects seem, cast you eyes and your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you, because He sees you as the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath, and if that is how He sees you, then who are you to disagree? Only stand on His Word and walk in His light.
