Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning guys. We're picking up with a seven of our

habit reboot devotional in the Bible app. There's a link to that in the description of the podcast if

you guys want to follow along with us and as always I'm going to read the scripture and then

Torrey is going to pick over the divo. Let's do it. The scripture is Romans chapter 15 verses 5

and 6 and it says this. May God who gives this patience and encouragement help you live and

complete harmony with each other as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can

join together with one voice giving praise and glory to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The devotional is titled core habit number three tips on worshiping and belonging and it says

prepare yourself this preparation includes getting enough rest the night before leaving on time

and praying for God to work during your time with God's people preparation is important for

worshiping and belonging during church if you go to the gym you've probably heard about the

results in the same way engage your core when you gather at church refuse to sleep walk through

worship think about the words you sing let your heart engage with the truths you encounter listen

to the sermon with expectancy don't run out immediately strike up a conversation with someone instead

Sam Albury says it is almost impossible to overstate the positive impact we can have on others

if we are coming looking for ways in which to be an encouragement so expect to encounter God
