Summary
For the last day of the year, we’re going to take time to simply make space for God to fill.
Whenever we make a little room in our day, and in our hearts for God, it always amazes me how he can fill us with exactly what we need. So today, simply make room for God for whatever you need most, and allow him to fill that space with his good and perfect nearness.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 46:10, and today's worship is Build Your Kingdom by First15 Worship feat. Emily Huffaker.
Help people connect with God in 2022
Your gift is doubled!
Millions of people today are searching for peace. They’re searching for rest. They’re searching for something to help them find healing.
That something is a person: God himself.
And today, you can help more people connect with the God of true healing when you help expand the reach of First15 in 2022.
Thankfully, some generous friends have stepped forward with a $100,000 Matching Grant — which will DOUBLE your gift to help meet the $340,000 year-end goal and finish the year strong.
Reaching this goal in full couldn’t be more important, because every dollar given reaches one new First15 reader, listener, or viewer. And with the match, that means your $1 investment impacts two people.
Here’s just a taste of what your gift will accomplish in 2022...
- You’ll help the First15 daily devotional reach more people through our app and emails.
- You’ll be a part of producing more podcasts that draw people into a deeper relationship with God.
