Summary
In today’s devotional, 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 Mountain To Valley by Jason Upton.

Podcast Wrap up Script for Craig:
“ If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” - James 1:5
We live in a world saturated with information but yet seemingly starving for wisdom. Glory to our good God that He is a fount of wisdom and offers to pour out His beautiful truth and wisdom into our hearts whenever we ask. Jesus modeled this beautifully through his parables and teachings, both of which are included in our Wisdom devotional!
Wisdom will take you through four weeks of quality time with the Lord. Experience a fresh glimpse into the life-giving grace of God!
- How to be responsive to the presence of God in our lives
- How to fulfill our deepest longings through intimacy with God
- How to hear Jesus speak directly to our situation through his parables
- How to free ourselves of the tyranny of constant busyness by creating boundaries
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
