Today's Passage - Matthew 6:22-23

You don't want to miss this.

River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Matthew 6:22-23 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.  But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!  The Lord said that "If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light." In the original text, "full of light" means fully devoted to something. If the eye of our soul is fully devoted, then we'll understand the new lifestyle that our new life should bring forth. Caleb in the Bible is the best example; after he and Joshua returned from surveying the land of Canaan, he greatly encouraged the Isra elites to go and conquer the land given to them by God. When the Israelites didn't listen to them, however, they ended up wandering in the wilderness for forty years. During those forty years, Caleb was fully devoted to following God, and when they entered the land of Canaan, Caleb said that "I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then." Our eyesight must be fully devoted to God in order to enter the abundance that God has promised us. . Inside our soul, besides a major character, there are also many minor characters, such as characters of cowardly, boldness, working, religious, exercise, leisure, etc. Every character is strongly self-centered and tries to defend its own interest without compromising. If our major character decides that we need to take a break every night, then the working character would say, "How can you take a break with so much work yet to finish?" We go through struggles in our heart with every decision that we make, because each decision needs to go through voting by all these small characters, thus we often have conflicting and struggling feelings inside. . We are often exhausted with busy work and never get to rest because we are not fully devoted to God in our heart and mind. We do not place God and His will in the center of our life. As soon as we are willing to let God have decision-making power in everything and we make Him the center of our life, our soul will finally be able to rest and no longer be controlled by all these little characters. When God's will is our ultimate guideline, all these small characters must submit to the authority of the Lord. Therefore, we will have true peace, joy and satisfaction inside us. We will no longer be disturbed and overruled in our hearts, but rather we'll be fully devoted to satisfying the will of God. This will bring tremendous deliverance to our life. Are you willing to try it today? Pray with Pastor Tong Lord, please help us and let our heart and mind be in you all the time. Guard our heart so that we'll be fully and purely devoted to you. Let our life no longer be ruled by circumstances and feelings, but rather helps to solely follow your will. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
