Is the light that is in you darkness?

In these days with television and the internet is it not a mere stumbling and drifting off the pathway to focus, and place ones eyes on many things and not stop to consider deeply what is being allowed in?

The latest scandal(s) broadcast on Fox News is shocking to the bones and we shutter and shake at the darkness. The salacious news is sifted and drudged to the depths of the bottomless pit. But it is only the outer world, the subduction zone, the convolution, that we recoil at. This isn’t to say we should ignore it, but it should not be the focus of our peace.

“Peace I give unto you, peace I leave with you, not as the world (the subduction zone, the convolution) gives, do I give unto you. Jn 15:

We must come truly come to grips with the fact that we live in a “fallen world.”

In the subduction zone “the peoples will roar and consider a vain thing(s). The nations will go to war, and neighbor shall rise up against neighbor; father against son and mother against daughter. Thus shall it be till the end.

The vanity of mankind due to his focus on the outer world, errantly assumes that it is politics that can fix the “subduction zone.”

My friends the best we can do politically is to slow the process of deterioration, and so we should, for we are salt, but only to a degree.

But if we are consumed (overly focused) by the world due to our intentful gaze on this “subduction zone” than the light that is in us will become darkness. And here is what we are warned to beware of….

Hear what is said by the Master:

“The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when you eye is good the whole body is filled with light. but when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness…and then….”if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.”

Therefore, TAKE HEED, that the light that is in you is not darkness. If than your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light as when the bright shinning of a lamp gives you light.

Then …. “In the world (the subduction zone) you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer ..I have overcome the world.”JN 16:33

I wish I could say that I have mastered not getting incensed and allowing anger to control me due to the corruption in the world, but I have to battle to keep my eye single, so that I maintain my balance and keep my eye focused. This is the conundrum of all who endeavor to walk in the light. My friends be careful that eye stays in the light.

How do you know if you overly focused? Examine and check out your conversation. Is your conversation weighted on earth or in heaven?

The Kingdom of Heaven is within,
