God or Mammon

God or Mammon - Matt 6:22-24

   In ancient Hebrew thought the eyes was the window to the soul.  Jesus is addressing the issue pf money or the love of it.  He starts off by saying that if you eyes are drawn to light or the things of God you will be filled with light.  The eye is the gate to the visual.  Ninety percent of all information comes through the eyes.  We see it and it is imprinted in our memory.  What you see or what you are drawn to will affect your thought processes.  

If your eyes are drawn to dark or sinful things then your heart and soul will be darkness and the light that God is trying to bring into your life will be swallowed up in darkness and Jesus says this darkness will be great.  Sin is a terrible task master.  It will take you where you never thought you would go, make you do things you never through you would do and become what you never thought you would become.  Recently a woman we knew who had a desire for good and evil went to a party in a city near where we lived.  She got a hold of some substance and this tragically took her life.  Darkness or sin will never be your friend and has only one agenda, your destruction.

Jesus says no man can serve two masters.  You will hate one and love the other.  You must decide is it God or money.  God or possessions.  The choice is yours and with each choice comes consequences.  I hope you choose the Lord.
