CATARACTS
Matthew 6:22-23
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore the eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness."
I have the beginning stages of cataracts which are not ripe enough yet to be harvested. People who have had cataract surgery tell me their loss of sight was so gradual, they didn't even know that they were walking in darkness until the surgery let the light in. Many people walk in spiritual darkness, but think that their darkness is light, "having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart" (Ephesians 4:18). They think that their truth is light, "whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ...should shine on them" (Corinthians 4:4). O, Holy Spirit, shine into our lives so we can see clearly the light of Jesus.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: As physical eye disease distorts and darkens one's vision, so spiritual darkness keeps one from seeing Truth.

Have a 20/20 day. Love you.
