Good morning everyone and welcome back to another Mornings with the Master's where we

devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed.

We are back in new morning mercies and I'm stalling so Tori will grab the divo. I was just

taking a little sip of my coffee. She's just going to take it from here. I feel like I've

already had 15 coffees. That's why I'm so amped for this devotional. I'm just ready to send myself

to the Lord. Can you just give me a little bit of that? Can you feel the radiant glory of him just

in our hearts done. Not yet is the last enemy under his feet. Not yet is he ready to say, beloved

all things are now ready. Enter into my final kingdom. We are right smack dab in the middle of

the world's most important incomplete process. Sanctification. None of us is yet what grace makes

it possible for us to be. The battle with sin and temptation still goes on. The war for what will

effectively and functionally rule our hearts still rages. We are not yet even near being blameless

in and of ourselves. No. The reality is that between the already and the not yet of God's

transforming process. We are all a bit of a mess. We still fall into temptation. We still give way
