Light.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Good day brethren, first of all, I’d like you to think about this scripture, what does it mean to you?

To me, the way it’s interpreted, the eye is what gives access to the body, what enters your body starts with what you see first and this is not talking about food. A lot of people complain about toxicity, depression etc but why is that? The Bible says the eyes are a window for the body, what we take in edifies us, you listen to scriptures and edifying content and it reflects in your life, you take in unscriptural content and it reflects also. You can’t be complaining about feeling sad constantly and fueling yourself with sad songs or feeling insecure when we spend all our time looking at the world-approved public figures, the thing about comparison is that it makes you forget where you are and think less of yourself or makes you forget how you got somewhere and think you’re better than someone.

These days, there’s a lot of things invading or plaguing the internet, from random music videos to memes on social media to popular opinions to the littlest of things, of course some of which were unplanned but do you let yourself take another look?

Be careful what you consume, be careful what you expose yourself to, we can’t keep talking about this and nothing is happening, you need to be intentional about it, cut off things that keep you further away from God, avoid content that don’t glorify God, if you need to stop listening to worldly music, please, by all means, stop! If you need to stop following certain people, no matter how famous, please, stop! If you’re scared of not being part of the trend, I tell you, all of it will pass, there’ll always be some newer trend so don’t bother, but this Jesus trend, it never gets old.

Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our hearts for out of it are the issues of life, the heart is usually interchanged with the mind in certain places in the Bible, you need to be intentional about the things or people you entertain.

When what you consume is healthy, your body will be healthy, now when what you listen to, what you look at, what you think about are pure, you will be pure, it’s a process.

While we think on these things, may God help us and bless us!

Shalom!🤍
