UNCLOUDED VISION




















S.E.E.D. For Today__Vision

Scripture "The eye is a light for the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if you are evil, your whole body will be full of darkness." Matthew 6:22 New Century Version

 Jesus previously in scripture lets us know that where ever your treasure there is your heart. The images that we see can be healthy or unhealthy for our lives. Today's church is filled with materialism and narcissism. In a book by Os Guniness called the Gravedigger Files says this very well; "with spiritual narcissism so well advanced, firm believer is a matter of aerobics rather than apologetics, of human fitness rather than divine faithfulness. Shapeliness is now next to godliness, and judge by the new shape-up-centers in Christian stores training righteous character has given way to trimming the right curves." So has the church become a shape-up center, because of our eye? Jesus gives a metaphor of treasure by using the eye and money, to establish His point. The eye is pictured as the window, if the glass is dirty or tinted or discolored the light will be hindered. Today we have so many images that we fix our gaze on that glitters like gold but in reality a danger to our soul. The condition of the eye is what determines the quality of what enters the body. Unclouded vision is a danger it's what I see that permeates my thoughts and my heart.

Example Vision is the faculty or state of being able to see.

Exercise Read Matthew 6:19-24 Journal and Talk to God. The eyes are the window to our soul. When you lock your eyes on something it can be mesmerizing and if it is not good it cannot be good for you. Social media has revived or revealed our true nature because of what we see it has made us selfish, bullyish, and materialistic. What looks good is not always good. Social media has hindered the light for many, and our need to be glamorous, prosperous, and popular have made us blind to the true light. Jesus in John 8:12 says that "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Devotion Lord I pray for good sight. I pray that I will keep my eyes on you the Light that my body will be full of light. Thank you for preserving my life while blind but I pray that I have unclouded vision that I may be clear of Your will for my Life in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda
