22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23But 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!
Matthew 6:22-23
King James Version (KJV)
My KJV Life Application Study Bible sums it up best: "Spiritual vision is our capacity to see clearly what God wants us to do and to see the world from His point of view. But this spiritual insight can be easily clouded. Self-serving desires, interests and goals block that vision. Serving God is the best way to restore it. A 'single' eye is one that is fixed on God." We have to constantly live on doing the will of God. Jesus told us this: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you," Matthew 6:33. This is about worrying in the below passages of 25-44. We can allow things to block our spiritual vision when we focus on things that God does not want us to focus on. We need to be fixed on God, even when things get tough because the last thing we want is to be overcome by darkness. Putting on Christ & walking in the Spirit requires us to keep our focus on God & pleasing Him.
