Scripture: Luke 11:29-36
Observation: The people asked for more signs, but Jesus told them there would be just one more sign: the sign of Jonah. Ninevah would condemn this generation who asked for much but didn't realize Who was among them. Jesus then explained that the eye is the lamp of the body, and our eyes need to be healthy if all our body is to be healthy.
Application: God has given us something the Israelites didn't have: His complete Word. We have everything in the Scriptures: past, present and future. We need nothing else. If we ask for more we're like the Pharisees who couldn't see what was in front of their faces. Our eyes should be focused on Jesus - He is the light in this world of darkness, and our eyes need to be filled with His light so that our being will not be in darkness.
Prayer: Father, how thankful I am that I have Your Word! Without it there would be no knowledge, no wisdom worth anything. I pray that as I remain in Your Word I will see more clearly Your Will for my life. May Your light guide me, and may I too be light in this dark world, for Your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
