Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to look at the desire we all share for wonder. We serve an absolutely fascinating God – a God who has created a whole world to marvel us. May we set our eyes on him today by the power of the Holy Spirit, that our desire for wonder would be satisfied in relationship with our powerful and good God.
Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 1:22-23, and today's worship is So Will I by Amanda Cook
