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

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

We are picking back up with new morning mercies,

and I'm just gonna take it from here.

It says this, by the way, like, I already read this first line and I know some of us

myself included are about to are about to be confronted I love love it. Anyways, it says this, today you will spend solitary moments of conversation

with yourself, either listing your complaints or counting your blessings.

Think with me for a moment.

Do you live a life of blessing or a life of complaint?

It is so easy to grumble.

It is so easy to find fault. It is so easy to grumble, it is so easy to find fault, it is so easy to be discontent.

It is so easy to find things that are less than you want them to be.

It is so easy to be irritated and impatient. It is so easy to

groan and moan about the difficulties of life. It is so easy to be dissatisfied.

Why are these things so easy?

Well, they're easy because sin still causes us to make it all about us.

Because sin really is selfish at its core, we all still tend to shrink our worlds down to the small confines of our once, our needs, and our feelings.

We then tend to judge the good of our lives by how much of what we want we are able to actually

have.

At street level, it is tempting to live a God forgetful meistic existence. If you put yourself in the center of your world,

you will find plenty of things to complain about. It is also true that you live in a fallen world

where people and things are not functioning the way God intended.
