Summary
Worship through song is one of the most powerful ways to connect directly to the love, compassion, power, and grace of God. In worship, walls we’ve placed between God and us get torn down, just as God tore the veil at the death of Christ. In worship, our hearts become soft, aware, and open to the glorious majesties of God’s nearness. In worship, God makes his nearness known to us and fills us anew with the power of his manifest presence.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 132:7, and today's worship is Psalm 34 (Taste and See) by Shane & Shane.

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.
