Good morning everyone and welcome back to the Messy masterpiece podcast with Chad and

Torey.

Unfortunately my sweet Pee Torey is not in today's devotional.

We just have a tongue going on and we actually wanted just to say thank you for your patience

this week as we process how many YouTube videos we can get out and how we get through the

podcast we are in the process of closing on our house.

So there is a lot going on with that.

So again I know you all are being patient with this but we just wanted to extend our

thankfulness and today we are actually going to be reading from my favorite devotional

which is called new morning mercies which is by Paul David trip and we're going to read

October 6th and I actually wish that we read this devotional more often but some of

the devotional can be pretty long and also they can be very wordy not in a bad way but

the author is just extremely intelligent and articulate and sometimes it's hard for

us to read and make sense of it live during devotional so what I actually did for this

one is I read it and then I realize I was going to struggle with it and then I paraphrased

it on my notes app and so I'm actually going to read to you the paraphrased version that

way I could feel like I can read it and flow.

Okay October 6th.

One of the main reasons for this devotional book is to reveal that all humans have a

theological bend even if they don't consider themselves Christians or even religious.

We all want life to make sense and we do our best to rationalize life as we pick our

lives apart and try to make sense of them.
