If Your Eye Causes You To Stumble And Sin, Pluck It Out And Throw It Away From You [That Is, Remove Yourself From The Source Of Temptation]; It Is Better For You To Enter Life With Only One Eye, Than To Have Two Eyes And Be Thrown Into The Fiery Hell.
MATTHEW 18: 9
Eyes causing to stumble & sin means:- lose balance & going down in darkness in SIN. We need to understand this:- that something is observed which is dangerous sin, as this verse say’s to pluck it out & throw THE SOURCE OF TEMPTATION.
Everyone in life stumble, however there is a role to play after stumbling in life. Here is a question, How to pluck out & throw away the Sins of eyes?
-
Writing about times you’ve stumbled helps get you on back on course. - Your choices.
- Let your yes be yes & no be no.
Let’s not forget the reality that people stumble & fall into sin is because of lack of S E L F C O N T R O L.
This lack is all because:- when we fail to trust and delight in God and find our strength in Him, when our priorities get out of balance, or when we fail to see life from God’s perspective and end up making foolish choices.
These are some of the consequences of stumbling: fear, insecurity and withdrawal from following the Lord.
Examples in the Bible who stumble:- David fell into tremendous sin, but once again walked with the Lord and penned warnings and encouragement for God’s people. Jacob lied repeatedly, but later God used him to raise up and teach truth to twelve sons who became the leaders of Israel’s tribes. Cowardly Peter stumbled badly when he denied his Lord, yet he rose up in the power of Christ and became a courageous leader in the New Testament church.
New Beginning Is Needed.
We have to walk in the Spirit, in wisdom, as Children of light, in love and worthy of your calling.
God’s hand is always stretched out to lift up sinners and get them walking with Him again. Those who delight in Him will be blessed as they refuse to walk in step with the wicked.
Everyone fails, and everyone reacts to failure differently. We need to make peace with the fact that we will fall many times throughout our journey. However, when we commit ourselves to get back up, dust ourselves off, be honest about how we feel and what happened, and not let it stop us from being who we are and going for what we want – we tap into what true power, boldness, and authenticity are all about.
As Mark Twain reminds us in one of his many famous quote’s
“Dance like nobody’s watching; love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like nobody’s listening; live like it’s heaven on earth.”
Let’s Pray:- Dear Lord, I know that I am weak and I need your help to overcome my temptations. Please give me the strength to resist evil and to do your will. I pray for self-control and ask that you will give me the power to choose what is right and good in all situations. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
