Description
In today’s devotional, we’re going to look together at the marriage of faith and works. One of my greatest struggles is working with God rather than for God. God cares deeply about our work, our impact in this life, but not because he needs us to serve him or work for him, but because he wants to work with us. He wants to give us a picture of his goodness and love at work in the lives of others, and he wants to deepen our relationship with him by identifying and empowering us in our unique calling. May we gain revelation today that would stick, that would transform our understanding and deepen our experience of the connection, the relationship between faith and works. Our Scripture for today comes from James 2:26, and today's worship is For Your Splendor by Christy Nockles. -- This month kicks off an extremely important season at First15 — a time when your partnership and prayers are deeply needed. First15 has just launched a $216,584 Summer Initiative with the goal of connecting thousands more people to God and igniting their hearts for him. And today we’re asking for your support to make that possible. Support the Summer Initiative You know the power of daily time connecting with God — the hope, clarity, and peace we find in his presence. And we’re so grateful for the opportunity to encourage you in your faith with First15’s free devotional resources. But to keep these resources freely available and take them to more people than ever before requires a fresh outpouring of support from friends like you. That’s why we’re really excited to share that some amazing friends who know the power of a deepening relationship with God have offered to match your gift today, up to a total of $20,000. This means your gift will now DOUBLE to have an even greater impact! And the impact you can have in people’s lives is what excites us the most, because we’re sure you agree that changed lives can change our culture. So please give generously to help meet the $216,584 Summer Initiative need — and lead more people into God’s presence each day. Because when he gets a hold of our hearts, God always changes lives!
