Something Better

I live my life for the "something betters." I'm always thinking there has to be something better. If we get something new or something I really wanted, I always notice there's something better, when I thought I was happy with what I had. When I go to someone's house and I notice their decorations, furniture, or style of their house, I think it's so much better than what I have. Why do I feel the need to compete, or impress others, or hide so they can't see I don't have the "something betters" When I could be perfectly happy with what I have, I always think I need more. I began to really think about this, and I thought if I lived where I never saw other people things, I would be content with what I have. I would only notice what has already been given to me. right? I don't think so. I believe we need these "something betters" to remind us to trust in God. I am quickly brought to Adam and Eve who had a paradise with everything they needed but they wanted to know about the forbidden tree, they needed to know about something they thought was better, they were deceived in thinking they didn't have it all already. God had given them everything they needed! Why did God put the tree in their in the first place? He wanted them to see and trust that everything they had was already right before them. To look at that tree and know if it was not given to them, then God alone knows better then they did for themselves. To trust in Him and Him alone.That same God has given me everything I need, I'm just deceived in thinking I need better, when right before me is everything I need. If God thought I needed more, He would supply more, But He knows just what I need at this moment, and it's already been given to me. I believe if Adam and Eve needed more and went to God , they would have been given more. God himself would have taught them about being more like God, (who better to teach about God, them God Himself) I believe He would have given them the knowledge they really wanted. I believe it was to bring them in relationship with God that the tree was there, to ask questions to God about the ways of God. The bible says when we seek we shall find. So if Adam and Eve would of sought after God, they would have grown in their knowledge and their relationship with God. So does God want any less for me? NO, He wants me to have everything I need. God wants me to trust in Him. He wants me to bring my wants to Him, and He will reveal the answers to me. He wants to have a relationship with me. I hope knowing this now, I will be quick to bring things to God, and not be so quickly deceived.
