Summary
Being used by God requires inward humility and exaltation of Jesus as King. It’s the only way being used by the Lord can work. Today we’ll take a deeper dive in our own hearts and examine who is actually enthroned there.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 10:31, and today's worship is My Jesus by Anne Wilson.

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.
Today, you can help fuel this movement by becoming a First15 Monthly Partner. The amount you give is up to you — just knowing you’re investing to impact more lives for Christ is what matters. Go to first15.org/monthlypartner to give now.
