Matthew 6: 22-23: "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
The way you see things is not decided by your eyes, but by how you think! What Jesus is saying in the scripture above is that your eye is the light of your life. How do you see your life? How do you see your tomorrow? If your eye is good...if you see good...if you focus on good...if you see the positive...if you focus on the thoughts of God, the plans of God, the purposes of God, the promises of God...then your whole life will be lit up and the blessing of God will be on you!
"Light" in the Bible always makes reference to God's presence, God's power, God's blessing. So Jesus is literally your light and your life! Now if your eye is "bad" - that is you have a negative outlook, you see life cynically, you see life negatively from a wordly perspective, from an unGodly perspective, from a fleshly perspective, from an evil perspective...if that's how you focus on life...then your whole life will be full of darkness Jesus says. It's what you're going to move toward in your life.
It becomes the Light or the Dark - most people live the lives by the way that they think - not necessarily by what they want.
What You SEE Is What You Get!
"He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it" - Proverbs 11:27
Vision is the ability to see what is not yet! It's the God-given gift to see those things which are not as though they were!
"The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight, but no vision." -Helen Keller
YOUR VISION IS YOUR FUTURE
