Summary
As we near the end of our week on living an unveiled lifestyle, we’re going to take time today to discover and reflect on the omnipresence of God. The tearing of the veil at Jesus’ death tells us that God’s presence is no longer contained to a specific place, but wholly available. In fact Scripture tells us that we’re now the temple of God’s Spirit, that God’s presence is with us. May you have a profound sense of God’s nearness today as we look at the incredible availability of God’s presence.
Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 84:3, and today's worship is My Refuge by Rivers & Robots.

Thanks for listening to today’s First15 podcast. I pray that your heart is open and sensitive to God’s presence in all that you do today. One way I find that helps me stay connected to a sense of God’s presence is taking a few moments to worship in my car, or at my desk throughout my day. If you’re looking for some fresh worship, you can check out some songs that my wife Rachel and I wrote on Spotify or YouTube. Just search First15 worship and you should be able to find it.
Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.

| 0:46.1 | The presence of our God is everywhere. He moves, lives, breathes, and works all around us. |
| 0:52.7 | Psalm 843 declares the extensiveness of her Heavenly Father's |
| 0:56.7 | presence in saying, even the sparrows find a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may |
| 1:03.9 | lay her young at your altars. Psalm 84 proclaims that even the birds of the air find their home |
| 1:10.4 | before the altars of the Almighty living God. Even the birds of the air find their home before the altars of the |
| 1:12.2 | Almighty living God. Even the birds of the air come before God's presence as they lay their |
| 1:18.4 | young in their canopies. The psalm begs the question, if the birds come before their |
| 1:24.3 | Creator while simply existing here on earth, how much more available is the |

| 1:55.0 | you are there. If I make my bed and shield, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost |
| 2:02.3 | parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, |
