Guard Your Eyes
Om avsnittet
Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Mark 6:22-23 which says "22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 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!"
"In the same way what we are surrounded with will guide us in this life. If you are surrounded with and always watching people argue, chances are you argue a lot. Same for complainers. People with negative attitudes. There is power in choosing to remove yourself from situations.
If you want to be a prosperous person, you need to surround yourself with other prosperous people. Same principal when it comes to being healthy.
Now, the same principal can be applied to not only what we surround ourselves with, but also to what we take the time to watch. Maybe you spend way too much time watching TV. Maybe all of the movies you watch are violent. Or maybe you spend way too much time aimlessly scrolling on social media.
These actions aren’t stimulating our imagination. They don’t give us time to get alone with God. They do the opposite. If we continue to poison our souls with the things we see, it’s going to be harder and harder for us to get to a place of pure love and pure faith. Instead of watching the news and scrolling for hours on end, crack open the Bible and see what It has to say.
Choose to read encouraging texts, chose to watch encouraging movies. Chose to take notice of the beauty of nature. Go outside. Surround yourself with loving people. Guard your eyes. Protect your eyes. Healthy eyes will leave you with a body full of light."
