In the kingdom of God, we find a culture different from that of our world. We are often taught to be self-made, pull ourselves up by our boot straps, and that it’s the survival of the fittest. God’s kingdom turns these principles on their head. We are encouraged to wait, trust, and receive from our God who supplies for our every need. Does your life mimic one of trust and waiting? One of open hands and thankfulness? Today as we move forward in our week of God being our Father we’ll look at his provisional nature. As we learn of God’s intentions to meet our every need, open your heart today to trust in this God who’s our Provider. Our Scripture for today comes from Philippians 4:19, and today's worship is No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus by Steffany Gretzinger. First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison. If you would like to learn more about the First15 app, books, blogs, videos and our other resources, please visit first15.org.

Love is at the center of our Christian faith, but in this season of COVID-19, it can be more difficult than ever to experience it, much less live it out.  This is why we are launching volume 5 of our First15 Devotional Series, Love. Within this 4-week journey, you will: Learn how to stand firm on God’s love in every circumstance. Receive lasting comfort in the goodness of God’s immense love for you. Find ways to love others out of the overflow of God’s love for you, even from a distance. Watch your faith come alive as you love God in word and deed.  If you are longing to experience God’s love in a deeper way, please request your copy of Love today. CLICK HERE
