Luke 11:34-36 Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is bad your body is filled with darkness. Make sure the light you think you have is not actually darkness. If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light."
My Thoughts
This says to me that we need to be careful what we let into our minds...through what we watch on TV and what we read. We often we see things as just as entertainment...not something we actually believe in..but it is something that we are letting into our minds...to dwell there to think on. I remember years ago that Robby and I had a preacher that said "Comedy was the devil's way of getting us to accept the unacceptable." The older I get the more I believe this statement. The more I can see it come to past. This verse convicts me even more to monitor what I allow to enter my mind through my eyes. It tells me that when I see the unacceptable becoming acceptable..I need to monitor what I am watching and what I am reading. God wants us to be filled with light...and Jesus is telling us here... that we can crowd out the light by letting the darkness enter. We need to be spending more of our free time learning more about God... so that our lives will be radiant!!
