Summary
Today we continue our week-long focus on the Holy Spirit by exploring what it means for us to grow in friendship with him. We’ll never have a kinder, more present friend than the God who dwells within us. May we discover the pathway he’s laid before us to grow in friendship with him today, as we take time to experience him in a fresh way.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 25:14, and today's worship is Breathe / What A Friend I've Found by Hillsong Worship.
________
Do you ever feel like life just happens to you?
Instead of choosing the things that fill your day, does life always somehow sweep you up into its endless flow of expectations and obligations?
If so, there’s a better way! It’s called a Rule of Life, and Craig Denison has written a new book about creating your own Rule of Life called Living Intentionally. We’d love to put a copy in your hands to say thanks for your donation to help more people experience God the first 15 minutes of their day.
