Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another mornings with the masters for redevote

ourselves to the Lord.

They'll eat with you.

Good morning, you guys.

Good morning, indeed.

We're picking back up in our new morning Mercy's devotional and without further ado,

Tori's going to take it from here.

Yes, y'all.

Let's do it.

Corporate worship is designed to once again clear up our confusion as to what is truly important

in life.

Here's what we all need to understand.

This side of eternity, it's very hard for us to keep what God says is important as important in our hearts.

So for all of us, things rise to the levels of importance far beyond their true importance

and begin to command the thoughts, motives, desires, choices, and allegiance of our hearts.

As human beings made in the likeness of God, we don't live by instinct.

No, we are value-oriented, goal-oriented, purpose-oriented, and importance-oriented beings.

We are always living in the quest for something.

We are always in pursuit of some vision, some desire, or some dream.

Every day, we all name things as important.

And when we do, we work to have those things in our lives.

You could argue that everything we do and say is our attempt to get what is important to us
