Never Enough

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 5–6
• Ephesians 1

The eye never has enough of seeing.

Ecclesiastes 1:8

Frank Borman commanded the first space mission that circled the moon. He wasn’t impressed. The trip took two days both ways. Frank got motion sickness and threw up. He said being weightless was cool—for thirty seconds. Then he got used to it. Up close he found the moon drab and pockmarked with craters. His crew took pictures of the gray wasteland, then became bored.

Frank went where no one had gone before. It wasn’t enough. If he quickly tired of an experience that was out of this world, perhaps we should lower our expectations for what lies in this one. The teacher of Ecclesiastes observed that no earthly experience delivers ultimate joy. “The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing” (1:8). We may feel moments of ecstasy, but our elation soon wears off and we seek the next thrill.

Frank had one exhilarating moment, when he saw the earth rise from the darkness behind the moon. Like a blue and white swirled marble, our world sparkled in the sun’s light. Similarly, our truest joy comes from the Son shining on us. Jesus is our life, the only ultimate source of meaning, love, and beauty. Our deepest satisfaction comes from out of this world. Our problem? We can go all the way to the moon, yet still not go far enough.

When have you felt the most joy? Why didn’t it last? What can you learn from its fleeting nature?

Jesus, shine the light of Your love on me.

Speaking of heroes, Audie Murphy, THE most decorated soldier of WWII was only 5’5” tall.

It proves the old axiom: It is not the size of the dog in the fight. It is the size of the fight in the dog!

It's finally cooler, Early Birds!
I'm so excited I could spit!
...or at least jump up and down.
How 'bout that hero, George E. Wahlen.
Wasn't he a brave man?
He deserves his high honor.
Hope all y'all have a Mahv'lus Monday...
...and a Wonderful Week!
