Eternal things have to do with both life and reward beyond this present life.  Temporal things can be seen but they only relate to this present life, they are constantly changing, unreliable and will not last for long.  May we seek always eternal first.

We can stand firm knowing that prayer and fasting is from the Living Word of God.
