Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another morning's with The Masters where we

devote ourselves to the Lord, daily with you.

Good morning, you guys.

We are picking up with day five of our The Art of Overcoming Devotional in the Bible

app.

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

And as always, I'm going to read the scripture then towards going to pick up the divo.

Let's do it.

The scripture is Psalms, chapter 23, verse 4, and it says this.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

For you are with me, you're rod and your staff, they comfort me.

The devotional is titled, God wants the mic back, and it says this.

Have you ever suffered through a funeral speech that ran ten times longer than it was supposed

to you?

I know I have.

But is it about microphones that cause people to completely lose track of time?

Your long-winded uncle isn't the only one guilty of hijacking funerals.

We often do the same when it comes to our death experiences.

We mourn them, remember them, lament them, but we don't pay attention to the timing.

We get stuck in grieving mode and refuse to move on.

Okay.

Later, God wants the mic back, the funeral needs to keep moving.
