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

devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Good morning, you guys.

Good morning.

Indeed, we're picking up with day six of our making space for what truly matters devotion

on the Bible app.

There's a link to that in the description if you guys want to follow along with us.

As always, I'm going to read the scripture, and I'm also going to confess to you all

that I am out of breath.

Those stairs took it out of me.

If you all struggle with stairs like I do, oh, my word.

Y'all, you have a dad hat on and a mustache.

It's a vibe.

I'm here for it.

Anyways, the scripture is Matthew, chapter six, verses 16 through 18, and they say this,

and when you fast, don't make it obvious as the hypocrites do for they try to look miserable

and disheveled so that people will admire them for their fasting.

I tell you the truth, that is the only reward you will ever get.

But when you fast, comb your hair, and wash your face, then no one will notice that you

are fasting except your father who knows what you do in private.

And your father who sees everything will reward you.

But devotional is on the spiritual habit of fasting, and it says this.
