As we focus this week on growing in trusting God, today we’ll explore the concept of obedience. Trust and obedience are directly related. Willing, joyful obedience comes from a place of deep-rooted trust in the character and intentions of your God. When we learn to trust the heart of the Father, obedience is a natural response to whatever he asks. May you grow today in your willingness and excitement to quickly obey the Lord as you learn of his love and goodness.

 

Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 1:19, and today's worship is I Have Decided by Forerunner Music feat. Jaye Thomas.

In today’s First15 Podcast, we want to offer an excerpt of a new Guided Prayer that our friend Peyton Garland wrote, titled, “Anxious About Life’s Extras.” Peyton reminds us of Matthew 6:30, when Jesus encourages his followers to remember that if he clothes the flowers of the fields, he will provide for his beloved too. Today’s fast-paced society often leaves us anxious about finances and future plans, but this prayer encourages believers to not be consumed with pursuing overabundance and trust God’s perfect, balanced provision instead.
