Summary
In today’s podcast, we’re going to explore the act of seeking God through his creation. God wants to use the world around us to declare his glory, goodness and love for us. May we take the time to open our eyes and hearts, to slow down for a minute and behold the beauty of our God in all that he has made.
Our Scripture for today comes from Nehemiah 9:6, and today's worship is So Will I by Hillsong Worship feat. Taya Smith.
