Many of us know God’s presence is always available to us, but rarely do we take a second to become aware of how near he truly is. Today we’ll explore what it means to encounter God through receiving his presence. This simple concept has radically changed my life, and it is my prayer it changes yours too. May we learn to practice God’s presence on a regular basis and see his goodness flood our lives. Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:7, and today's worship is Abba by Jonathan & Melissa Helser. First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison.
