God Meets All of Our Needs

I am the Chaplin for our sorority Kappa Epsilon at school. With that comes writing or sending devotionals weekly. I figured since I am super busy with school and haven't been able to write in a while I would share with you what I write as well:) Hope you enjoy!

I encourage you to listen to the song "How he Loves" by David Crowder Band. I know after a day like today I always need a reminder that "this test, this grade, and this class" are not going to matter when I am in heaven. It is important to follow God's will for your life but that doesn't mean that the path will always be easy. If it was easy ALL the time we would stray from God and pay attention to more worldly things that do not matter. He challenges us from time to time but the GREATEST thing about God is that even though he throws obstacles in our path he constantly is pursuing our hearts and he will never give us ANYTHING he knows we can't handle. We might think at that specific point in time where we are facing struggle that our world is collapsing but I promise as long as you trust in him HE will provide. There has never been a time in my life where God hasn't provided for me fully. Even though, I have been unsure of his ability in many circumstances in my life he never lets me down AND when I try to go about things the way I would have them I generally ALWAYS fail.

For instance, this summer after about 2 months of being married Scott and I quickly realized that supporting two people was alot more challenging than supporting just one. I was very fortunate to have my parents help until the day we were married. So quickly I realized how expensive life was and I grew a new appreciation for all the years my family supported me. We were fine in the summer living off my income and his income but when I started back school we knew it was going to be tough. Well, silly me decided not to borrow any money to live off of for school. I prayed one day and felt like God was telling me to trust in him. I remember thinking, "Ok God you want me to trust you? I'll trust you alright! Just make sure you provide that money!" I am sure he probably was laughing at me that day. Sure enough, it became reality for us when I started back school. The first week of school Scott and I both had to get cavities filled (He had 5 and I only had 1 haha), Scott got diagnosed with GI problems which included getting a very expensive test done, Scott's car needed new tires, and by the end of the day we had NO money for groceries. I remember getting on my knees praying to God asking for his help and once again he told me to trust in him. Well, that very next week we received a check in the mail for 2,000 dollars.It was totally God answering our prayers.
I realize there are bigger issues in some of your lives but nothing is too big for God. He can handle anything. He might not answer your prayers in the time that you would prefer but I promise you he will answer them when the time is right!
