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 are back in the

Thrive Bible today so without further ado towards just going to take it from here. Yes y'all let's

do it today's devotional is titled obedience and we're reading out of Psalm 119 verses 67

through 71 and it says this. I used to wander off until you disciplined me but now I closely follow

your word. You are good and do only good. Teach me your decrees. My suffering was good for me

for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. The love letter from God says,

beloved child, I am the author of your life. I love to give you good things. Pray to me and ask me

to open your eyes to see right from wrong. Seek me with all your heart and I will show you the way

you should go. There will be times when I will discipline you. When I do return to me and enjoy

my abundant blessings. If you desire to do my will and walk closely with me you will have a heart

that is full of peace and a life that is full of joy. Love your heavenly Father. The reflection says,

being disciplined by God can lead to a life changed for the better as hard as it is to walk

through the pain of discipline. It's even harder to live your life without God guiding you.

The treasure of truth says discipline can save us from self-destruction.

Yeah something I was really thinking as you were reading that devotional was that we should all

just press the reset button really quickly and ask ourselves, what are we doing this for?

What is the chief end of our purpose? Is that to get married? Is it to make a lot of money? Is

it to live a comfortable life? Is it to vacation? Is it to have as many experiences as we can? Is

it to suffer less? Is it to drive the nicest cars? Is it to eat the best food? Is it to feel alive?

What is it and does that really compare to being known by God and knowing God?

All I said again, does the chief end of what we desire does it compare to being known by God
