10 Things That God is Better Than!

Have you seen those lists on buzzfeed like "50 People You Wish You Knew" and "15 Things You Remember From Childhood", etc, etc? They have pictures of things and descriptions of why underneath that are really pretty clever and funny. 

Well, naturally, on my run this morning I was thinking and then BAM the Holy Spirit lays it out like this: "10 Things That God is Better Than". I have my guilty pleasures and things that excite me here on Earth for sure but anytime I seriously think about it, I mean, come on, they are nothing compared to the Lord! So here goes my attempt at:
 "10 Things That God is Better Than"



1. Waking up early and realizing you still have an hour to sleep.
Because with God you have an eternal resting place.







2. Having the combo of your favorite dinner PLUS dessert.

Because the Word of the Lord is more satisfying than ANY meal.






3. Finishing a workout that was particularly challenging and feeling like you can take on the world.

Because you would not be able to even do a workout without the Lord's strength, and oh yeah...He overcame the world too.






4. Acing a test

Because God sent His Son, who passed the Ultimate Test, and the only One who is perfect to do so.






5. Diving into a bed full of fluffy, cozy pillows.
Because God can comfort better than any bed, no matter how many pillows.






6. That special yellow cake with chocolate icing your mom makes on your birthday(!)
 
Because God's love is sweeter than any sweet tooth.






7. Spending a day on the beach.
Because God knows the number of grains of sand, hairs on your head, and just how much you enjoy His beautiful creation.






8. Watching the sunrise or sunset
Because if you think that takes your breath away, imagine standing at the throne of your Creator!






9. Falling in love with someone
 Because no other person will be able to fill the spot in your heart carved out for God's love and loving God.






10. Everything.
Because we wouldn't have anything without Him.
