Summary
As we begin to wrap up our week on transcendent peace, today we’ll explore growing in relationship with the Holy Spirit, and how he can help us walk in peace. As we’ve learned this week, connectedness with God is crucial to peace in all circumstances, and today we’ll dive deeper into those thoughts. May you grow in your desire for and closeness with the Holy Spirit today.
Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 4:30, and today's worship is Where The War Ends by Amanda Cook
--
Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 to find real rest is for YOU.
First15’s brand-new devotional book called Rhythms was written with you in mind.
Each day of this 28-day devotional invites you to break away from your normal rhythm of waking, eating, working, and sleeping to discover a spiritual rhythm that, when practiced, will lead you into a more vibrant, abundant life in every way that matters.
Jesus wasn’t kidding when he said you can find rest in the midst of the craziness of life. He can give it to you, and Rhythms will guide you in that direction.

| 0:15.9 | As we've learned this week, connectedness with God is crucial to peace in all circumstances, and today |
| 0:22.3 | we'll dive deeper into those thoughts. May you grow in your desire for and closeness with the |
| 0:28.2 | Holy Spirit today. Welcome to the first 15 podcast. Ephesians 430 says, and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. |
| 0:43.3 | In the Holy Spirit, we have a relationship with God who feels, has joy and grief, is happy and unhappy, |
| 0:50.3 | and has real thoughts and desires for the way we live our lives. The spirit longs for |
| 0:56.7 | us to live in communion with Him, forsaking that which grieves his heart that we might experience |
| 1:02.8 | the abundant life that only comes through the wholehearted surrender to Him. And it's because |
| 1:09.5 | he has specific desires for the ways we should live that we |
| 1:13.4 | have the potential to grieve his heart. If we are to ever experience all that's available to us |
| 1:19.3 | in this life, we must learn to pay attention to the feelings, thoughts, and desires of the |

| 1:40.7 | Great peace have those who love your law. |

| 1:47.9 | and the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness, |
| 1:54.0 | and trust forever. And Psalm 3414 says, turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. The desires of the Holy Spirit |
| 2:04.6 | for our lives are perfectly aligned with Scripture. In fact, the Spirit longs to bring revelation |
| 2:10.3 | to our hearts about how to apply and obey Scripture in our everyday lives. He longs to apply |
| 2:16.8 | his words to our circumstances, |
