Summary
As we near the end of series on God’s promises, today we’re going to look at the promise of his presence. The nearness of God is always to our good. In every situation, good or bad, challenging or easy, it’s so good to be near to God. So wherever you are today, lay down every other pursuit, just for the next few minutes, and focus simply on resting on God’s presence.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:9–10, and today's worship is Where You’ll Find Me by First15 Worship feat. Mark Alan Schoolmeesters.

Your gift will be DOUBLED to help more Spanish-speakers connect with God
Two years ago, First15 began a Spanish version called Primeros15. And God is using it to impact many lives. But today, he’s calling us to more.
More Spanish-speaking men and women connecting with him and impacting the culture around them.
That’s why we’ve just launched a summer campaign to deepen the reach and impact of Primeros15 — and why we’re asking you to jump in with us!
We’ve set a $100,000 goal, and a generous $25,000 Matching Grant has been offered to double the impact of any gift given by July 31. So please give to help more Spanish-speakers connect with God.
