Renewal of Purpose

FIRST15
About this episode

In today’s First15, we’re going to invite God to renew within us a true sense of purpose. Throughout the day I find my heart wandering to all sorts of purposes, some good, and some bad. But everyday life teaches me that the one purpose that leads to the greatest measure of life and joy, is the pursuit of God. Not the pursuit of religion, but the authentic pursuit of a relationship with the Lord. May the Holy Spirit reveal within us the true reason we were created, and guide us down the path of purpose today in his presence.

First15 helps people start their day with God through devotionals, guided prayer, and worship. As their fiscal year wraps up, your gift helps First15 keep meeting people right where they are. Give today: supportFirst15.com
