Summary
Give now & DOUBLE your gift this #GivingTuesday!
God is not calling us to simply create devotionals, but to mobilize a movement of believers connected and empowered by God’s presence. Join us today #GivingTuesday to help make this possible.

To help us reach this goal, an excited donor has given $20,000 in matching funds to DOUBLE your investment in this movement today.
________
We serve a God of boundaries. In his limitless capacity, endless creativity, and boundless existence he still chose to create boundaries. He still had vision for what was good, right, pleasing, and perfect. And as children made in his image, we are to live, think, and create as he does. In a world marked by busyness from seemingly infinite opportunities, it’s important now more than ever for us to create boundaries. May you find freedom and joy this week as you receive vision and set boundaries under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 29:18, and today's worship is God I Look To You by Francesca Battistelli.
First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison. If you would like to learn more about the First15 app, books, blogs, videos and our other resources, please visit first15.org. You can always reach out to us on our contact page on the website.
