Throughout the past week, the Lord has been whispering things in my ear and teaching me so much. College has been so chaotic lately. It just seems like it never ends, which I know I am here to learn and get a degree, but oh my word. Sometimes I just feel like I can’t catch five minutes without homework! Especially with finals coming up.

Something I have learned in the midst of this chaotic season of life is that our God is a God who brings our chaos back into order every. single. time. I have been thinking and talking about how we don’t serve a God of circumstance. Our God is steadfast, unwavering, never changing. He isn’t here only sometimes. He is here always. And he wants our hearts. We have to find it in our hearts to seek him in every situation. It seems a lot of times as if we only seek Him when we find ourselves in a pickle. Say we are going to fail a test or someone is sick. THEN and only then we find it appropriate to seek God in those times. Then if God doesn’t deliver how you prayed, you get upset with Him. We don’t serve a God of circumstance. So with that being said, CLING to Him! He is searching for you! He wants to captivate your whole being. The question is….will you let Him?

When you let God into your life and let Him have every part of you (which He created, right?) He will use you in ways you could never have imagined He could or would. We hear and listen to the lie “God can’t use me” more times than not. Numerous times throughout the Bible, God uses people who you wouldn’t suspect He would use. Prostitutes, beggars, tax collectors, etc. Think of Paul! He was formerly Saul and absolutely HATED Christians. He ended up being one of the most well-known Christians.

Just because you don’t feel called to missions or ministry doesn’t mean you cannot share the Gospel. He can and will use you, you just have to lay your life down and say “I give you my life and my trust” and watch the beauty of his glory unfold before your own eyes!

I can tell you from personal experience that having God captivate your whole being is the absolute sweetest and the best place to be. It changes your outlook on life and changes the way you carry yourself.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
