Summary
Did you know you have the ability to stir and satisfy the heart of God, here and now? God has given us the ability to choose him here on earth, and nothing blesses the heart of God like his beloved people intentionally turning their hearts toward him. As we examine how to live an abundant life here on earth, today we’ll search out what it means to choose to worship God in our daily lives.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 4:23, and today's worship is I Just Want To Worship by Kristene DiMarco.
