Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters for we devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you

Good morning you guys I'm laughing for a few reasons right now. Number one I just saw myself in the viewfinder on the camera for the

YouTube portion of this podcast, and I look like a Gen Z Mr. Rogers. You know he'd

always have like a sweater, you know I feel like yeah this is a Mr

Rogers sweater and secondly I'm laughing I just want to give you guys a heads up

that Mike is waking up right now and if you see me get up during the podcast I don't want to be

distracting but I probably have to go grab him so thanks for your patience but this is

real life and we have interruptions and all that so anyways we're picking

back up new morning mercy is the classic

there's always a link in the descriptions if you guys want to go find out if you want to go

find that devo from Paul David trip but Tori's gonna take it from here

yes yeah let's do it it says. Mercy for others will reveal your ongoing need for mercy

driving you to the end of yourself and into the arms of your merciful savior.

It's simply not natural for us.

It's natural to make sure all your needs are met.

It's natural to hoard what you have

and the fear that at some point you won't have enough.

It's natural to carry around with you a long catalog of things you want for yourself.

It's natural to be more in tune with your feelings than with the feelings of others.

It's natural to want mercy for yourself, but justice for others.

It's natural to be very aware of the sin of others yet blind to your own.

If we are ever going to be people of mercy, we need bountiful mercy ourselves,
