Good morning everyone and welcome back to another morning with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed. We're

picking up with day two of our time to sow devotion on the Bible app. There's a link to that

in the description of the podcast if you guys want to fall along with us and as always I'm

spiritual milk in order to grow in our salvation. To begin to sprout and blossom we must dedicate time

to learning more about God through reading the Bible and spending time with him. The level of our

faith is dependent on our willingness and effort to grow. As Christians we should establish

mindsets of lifelong learning. Proverbs 4 7 tells us the beginning of wisdom is this

get wisdom though it costs all you have get understanding. Notice how simple it is to start our journey

of growth get wisdom. There must have been an eagerness to learn more. However some may hardly

make it past the first step because it requires sacrifice. To prioritize God first we have to give
