Great is Our Lord
by Molly Epler on August 2nd, 2023
Each Wednesday, you will receive a scripture to read, a series of reflection questions, and a link to a worship song. Take time to read or listen to the scripture and note any key points that resonate with you. This is often how God speaks to us, so pay close attention and listen for those moments that make you feel comforted, convicted, humbled, or encouraged. The reflection questions will guide you into a time of thinking about how and why it is important to seek God’s presence in our lives. Finally, there will be a link to a YouTube video with worship music. This is supplied to create time to pray and seek God. You can use your own music or sit in silence, but be sure to close your time by asking God to draw near to you. Read More
