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 Breathe / What A Friend I’ve Found by Hillsong Worship.

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out?
Something needs to change!
So, we’re launching the First15 Digital Retreat to help address the challenges we face in connecting with God in this frenetic cultural moment.
When we look to Jesus, we see this exciting, life-giving invitation:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” –Matthew 11:28 MSG
Through the First15 Digital Retreat, you will make space to come, rest, and recover.
Join us and speakers like Craig Denison, Aaron Niequist, Strahan Coleman, Charaia Callabrass, Ashley Abercrombie, and several more, as well like worship by First15 Worship artists like Nikki Moltz and Rachel Denison.
Register today for this digital First15 Retreat at www.first15retreat.org, and get your tickets today!

| 2:16.1 | David writes on Psalm 139, 7 through 12, where shall I go from your spirit? |
| 2:21.6 | Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed |
| 2:28.3 | in sheel, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there |
