Only One Thing Is Needed…
…Reflecting The One Thing


“Can staring directly at the sun really make you blind?” is a question I
found on Yahoo Answers. The answer that was voted best said, “Yes. Have
you ever used a magnifying glass to start a fire. The lens in your eye does exactly the same thing to your eye's retina if you stare at the Sun. It literally
_cooks_ the cells in your retina, and they cease functioning...permanently.”
So, I guess mom knew what she was talking about after all.
This week’s Psalm of the Day gives us some eye care advice from God. In
Psalm 119:37 the Spirit had the psalmist write, “Turn my eyes away from
worthless things; preserve my life according to your Word.” What are the
“worthless things” that God is talking about in the psalm?
The answer is found in the theme for this week’s worship. This week we
focus on growing in the One Thing Needed. So the worthless things that we
should turn away from are any things that get in the way of the One Thing
Needed. That is going to be different for each one of us. For some it might be
money. For some it might be favorite sports teams. For some it might be saying that their child is right even when God says what their child is doing is
wrong. Satan can and does use almost anything to drive a wedge between us
and God.
To protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays you need a good pair of sunglasses. Psalm 119 points us to God’s “eye” protection also. “Preserve my
life according to your Word.” In his Word you learn about Jesus who lived and
died to take away the guilt of all the times you were too focused on worthless
things. Now you can live at peace with God. You are forgiven!
