Summary
As we dive deeper into the fullness of life available to us this week, looking at the concept of acknowledging our need for God is essential. We will never taste the fullness of God’s sufficient grace until we learn to live low, acknowledging our need and weakness before the Lord. So many of us are fearful of appearing weak and work our fingers to the bone to feel sufficient within ourselves. The only path to true power and freedom comes through embracing our need and lack. May you experience that freedom and strength from God today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 73:26, and today's worship is Come Now by Mack Brock.

What started as a daily email devotional in 2015 has grown into a worldwide movement of over 2.6 million men and women connecting with God every day through our app, First15 Worship, Primeros15, our Spanish-language platform, our podcast, and live and virtual events.
That’s millions of people encountering God’s presence — and being used by him to transform our culture.
