Summary

In our second devotional positioning ourselves to more fully experience God’s promises, today we’re going to look at the role of renewing our minds in opening our heads and hearts to receive all God longs to give. May God do a mighty work today as we make space for him to fill.

Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 12:2, and today's worship is God's Got a Reason for Everything by Jason Upton.

In today’s First15 Podcast, we want to provide a preview of a new Guided Prayer that our friend Peyton Garland wrote, titled, “Purpose in Pain.” Peyton shares that while pain is a heavy, unavoidable burden, God uses our suffering as a tool to till our hearts, breaking ground for the person we will become. Through God’s promise to forever abide with us, we can rest in the knowledge that he has a harvest of blessings and beauty for us despite the pain.
