Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters.

We're devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Good morning you guys.

Good morning indeed. We're picking back up with new morning mercies and

Tori's just gonna take it from here.

Yes, y'all, let's do it. It says this.

Today you will fight temptation, but not alone, because a warrior spirit lives inside of

you and fights on your behalf. I did it for my children again and again.

Often they were unaware that I had done it. I did it in moments when they didn't have the

sense to do it for themselves.

I did it with commitment and joy because I knew what the world that surrounded them was like

and I knew the vulnerability of their hearts.

What is this thing that I was committed to as a father? I did

everything I could do to protect my children from evil. I knew that they would

minimize or forget two very important realities.

First, they didn't understand or would soon forget that they had been born into a

dramatically broken world that is not functioning as God intended.

They would forget that they woke up every day to a fallen world where real evil still exists.

They often didn't seem to understand that this meant they would face temptations of various kinds

every single day of their lives.

Their eyes would see things that God in his original plan never intended them to see. Their ears would hear things that they should not hear.

The alluring deceitful and seductive pleasures of sin would be held before them again and again.
