Summary
As we continue our series looking at different ways God speaks to us as his children, today we’re going to look at the role of Scripture in hearing God. The pages of Scripture contain so many amazing stories of how God spoke to his people. Within these stories we see the power of a people focused on following God’s leadership, and the destruction that takes place when people go their own way.
May God stir up our hearts to hear his voice through the pages of Scripture today. And may we align our hearts with the principles found in its pages.
Our Scripture for today comes from Deuteronomy 8:3, and today's worship is New Every Morning by Audrey Assad.

As the world seems to be spinning out of control, we often wonder where God is in the midst of it. The truth is that God isn’t far away, but he is inviting us into a closer and deeper relationship with him. Let’s not allow social distancing to turn into spiritual distancing. Instead, let us find peace and hope in the arms of our Creator.
We’re launching Vol. 4 of our First15 Devotional Series, Closer, to empower you every day to simply grow closer to God during these challenging times.
