Summary
In today’s devotional we wrap up our week on seeking God by looking at the act of seeking God through community. You may be a people person, or a total introvert, but either way, God wants to use his church to encourage you and draw you closer to him. The Lord loves unity in his body, and he longs for his church, his Bride to worship and seek him as one. May God open your heart and mind today to the community in which he’s placed you in this season.
Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 10:24-25. Today's worship is Holy Water by We The Kingdom.

Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast, the last in our week-long look at living an abundant life.
And make sure to come back tomorrow, where we’ll start our series on exploring seven different avenues down which we can venture to seek God and experience his presence every day. I know that tomorrow will take us all deeper in our experience and relationship with our good, and loving Father.
Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
