But they thought they knew better . . .

Just read in a devotional these words “But they thought they knew better” 

The story? Adam and Eve – God gave them freedom throughout the Garden of Eden. All the luscious fruit and veggies were for them to enjoy, EXCEPT one. A conversation with Satan, a doubt planted and suddenly “they thought they knew better” than God.

You know the rest of the story . . .

Me???? I don’t think I know better than God! . . . 

or do I?

How often have I argued with God. Expressed my opinion about  events that effect my life. Ranted and raved about circumstances that made me uncomfortable, threatened “my world” and caused me not to have . . . Stormed the gates of Heaven with my wants and desires, not taking time to consider God’s perfect plan. Demanding what I want, when I want it and how soon it needs to be delivered. Sat down, devastated at the bill, the doctor’s report, the pink slip, the phone call, “unanswered” prayer . . .and wondered how a loving God could do this to me!

BUT I thought I knew better . . .

“Cease striving” and KNOW I AM GOD!    Psalm 42:10
