Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another Mornings with the Masters.

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

We were picking back up with New Morning mercies, I'm just going to take from here.

It says this, I disappointed myself yesterday. I failed to live up to my standards. It hit me later

that if I cannot live up to my standards, how can I ever hope to keep God's law? Let me unpack

this moment for you. I was doing some of the reading that I have to do

in order to do what God has called me to do. I was enjoying my peace and comfort. As I was reading,

Luella interrupted me to ask a question. Immediately, I snapped at her that I was busy and I didn't

need to be disturbed. She walked away quietly only to come back a few moments later to

ask, can you explain to me why you responded to me as you did? The minute she said this, I was crushed,

filled with grief. I had done it again. I had been the husband I don't want to be. I had treated a

person that I say I love with

irritation and impatience. Anyone else feel guilty of that? Now, why did this happen? It is humbling

to admit, but my problem wasn't a relationship problem. It wasn't a schedule problem,

and it wasn't just a misunderstanding. No, I did what I did because I still have

a worship problem. You see, all our hearts live and respond under the rulership of something.

And there are only two options, God or something created. Let me say it this way. It is only when God

is in his rightful place of rule in our hearts

that people are in their appropriate place in our lives. Let me say that one more time. It is only

when God is in his rightful place of rule in our hearts that people are in their appropriate place in our lives.

You and I can keep the second greatest commandment you shall love your neighbor as yourself
