Eureka: The Threshold of Truth
We are all familiar with the analogy of the lightbulb phenomenon, known as the Eureka Moment. Truth be told, we encounter such moments many times on Life's Road. *keke* At least for me, I know that's the moment when I cross the threshold of an egocentric perspective and embrace the truth. Christians call it revelation; whatever it's name, there are many kinds of truths out there waiting to be discovered. Ever wondered why you can feel this way one moment and another the next? The Eureka experience teaches us one thing; our thoughts determine our feelings. It also brings into play one powerful factor: THE TRUTH. People who exclaim Eureka! are overwhelmed with joy over the discovery of some truth. Doubts often come in and cloud our minds and discourage us. Recognize that all it takes is the discovery of a truth to set things right again. And it can never be taken away because the kind of truth that causes one to exclaim Eureka! would probably be one that has yielded results. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." John 8: 32. It didn't say the truth might / probably is gonna set you free. Free from what? Nagging doubts, paralyzing fears, deceiving and enticing lies, selfish pride, anything that is not of truth! What's the one Eureka moment I've encountered that has forever changed me? The truth that God is our all-sufficiency; I firmly and resolutely believe that God is the only that can provide us with what we need. This has caused me to seek Him more, even in times when I'm feeling unworthy; I discovered even though I was unworthy there's nothing that can make me worthy except in asking for Him to restore me! That's a Eureka for you!
