Eureka!

Eureka, as some of you know, is an exclamation of excitement. What you might still know is that it means "I found it." I love history and so I wanted to share this with you. Archimedes coined this phrase while taking a bath... or so the story goes... Archimedes was faced with an obstacle, but obstacles are meant to overcome. He met a wall but to quote from the movie Tintin, "You hit a wall, push through it." In a word, persistence. I was thinking to myself a lot lately about Scripture and money and eternity and people and work and family and the list goes on, but as I am laying here in bed writing this, unable to sleep... AGAIN... I was thinking about treasures and was reminded of the passage of Scripture that talks about treasures, and so now hopefully you can say EUREKA!

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


Eternal > Earthly.


What is eternal is of far more worth than what is earthly. However, the earthly can still be used for the eternal. That's the really cool part! 


C.S. Lewis himself wrote, "No natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. They are all holy when God's hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves into false gods." God is in control, not us and what He has given us is still in His control, so let's use what He has given us to glorify Him!
