Stop Before it’s “Lights Out”
"The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness." ~ Luke 11:34 (KJV)
The Amplified Bible helps us understand this verse better. Jesus is saying:
“The eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is clear (spiritually perceptive, focused on God), your whole body also is full of light and benefiting from God’s precepts. But when it is bad (spiritually blind), your body also is full of darkness and devoid of God’s word.”
He continues in verses 35-36:
“Be careful, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness. So if your whole body is illuminated, with no dark part, it will be entirely bright with light, as when the lamp gives you light with its bright rays.”
Are there times in your life when you’ve felt yourself growing cold spiritually? Felt the power seeping out of your life? That the light is getting dimmer? That Jesus Christ wasn’t as real as He used to be? In times like this, get alone in a quiet place and begin to give things back to God that you’ve subtly taken off the altar.
When you have honestly, earnestly, and sincerely given all to Him, the joy will return to your heart and you will sense your relationship with God restored.
Give Him your physical body and your right to life. Give Him your health, your strength, and your abilities to work and make a living. Give Him your reputation and your children. Give Him your cars, your clothes, your house. Surrender to Him. He already owns it all, anyway.
