Imagine you're on your way to a store, or to class. Have you ever got out of your car and walked through a parking lot only to pass a spot that was much closer to your destination? There's a feeling of "awh man!" as though you could have had something better or more convenient. I was walking through the campus parking lot and was hoping I wouldn't find an open spot after I parked, just so I could feel like I got the best spot I possibly could. It's silly to think that a close parking spot can bring such satisfaction. But almost as quickly as I thought about the joy of getting the best spot, it left my mind.
The satisfaction we receive from some things in our lives, whether they be feelings and emotions, materials, or achievements, is only temporary. Their effects don't last.
But I'm grateful that God isn't like this.
Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."
He is sufficient for us, He always sustains us, and He completely satisfies us.
