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

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. We are picking up with day two of our

better decisions, fewer regrets, devotional. The Bible app, there's a link to that in the description

of the podcast. If you guys want to fall along with us and as always I'm going to read the scripture

and then Tori's going to pick it with the Devo. Let's do it. The scripture is Proverbs chapter 20

verse seven and it says this, the righteous lead blameless lives. Blessed are their children after

them. The devotional says someday you would like to be able to sit down or lie down with your kids

or grandkids and tell them your story, your entire story and as they get older you would like to

be able to add layers and details rather than hoping they don't ask. If you're single you want to

someday sit across the table from someone you hope to spend the rest of your life with and tell

your story all of it. We all want that but it will require you to stop mid-decision and ask

what story do I want to tell. When this crisis, this opportunity, this temptation is in the rear-view

mirror. When it's reduced to a story that I tell, what story do I want to tell? Which of the

available options do you want as a part of your story? Every decision you make becomes part of

the story of your life, every relational, financial and professional decision and the outcomes of

those decisions become permanent parts of your story. We've all lived long enough to have a few

chapters we wish we could erase. No doubt you have a few stories you wish you could rewrite.

We all do. We call it regret. But chances are, the decisions that led you to your greatest regrets

could have been avoided if you had paused to ask yourself, what story do I want to tell?

From here on out, write a story worth telling. Write a story you're proud to tell.

If you're in the middle of making a decision right now, stop and ask yourself of the available

options. Which one do I want as a permanent part of the story of my life?
