For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
As I was in my quiet time with the Lord this morning, He gave me the following verse to the verse above. He said, “If thine eye be single”. So I looked it up, and he spoke to my heart “Melody this is the heart of the matter, so many mothers and wives are divided in their focus between their desires, and the gifts I have given them to hold”. As I meditated on His heart, my heart was broken as I watched Christian woman distracted, their eyes and their hearts not single but divided. As women, the Lord has given us a job and this is it;
"To love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to
work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God."
Is this your heart ladies? Is your eye single or is it divided?
• Is your eye solely for your husband and your heart truly purely his, or is it distracted by the wanderings of a heart discontented?
• Is your eye towards your children? Are you wishing you were somewhere else, not stuck at home changing diapers and picking up toys and washing crayon off the walls?
• Is your eye focused on living wisely, making wise decisions for your household, making good purchases, managing your grocery money in Godly wisdom and healthy discernment?
• Is your eye focused of things that are pure, softening you towards your family and God, or are the things you focus on, putting a wedge in your heart and calling you away?
• Are your eyes towards working diligently in your home, or are you so distracted by desires, that your home is neglected?
• Is your heart truly submitted to the will of your husband?
If your heart is not in the home, then you have been building heart treasures elsewhere.
This is the rest of that verse; 22" The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"
God desires you to take joy in the gift of a family and love all that he has place in your hand.Don’t let your eyes be divided for it is sin, creating with in you the darkness of discontent ,depression and bitterness which leads to spiritual death. Single your eyes dear sisters and illuminate the light of Gods peace in your homes.
