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

We're diverse up to the Lord daily with you.

We are picking up with a new devotional in the Bible app titled

Sanctuary cultivating a quiet life.

Cultivating in quiet life.

There's a link to that in the description if you guys want to follow along.

And as always I'm near the scripture that I'm also going to pick up with the devo.

The first scripture is Deuterotomy chapter 2 verse 7 and it says this

for the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He has watched you every

step through this great wilderness.

During these 40 years, the Lord Your God has been with you

and you have lacked nothing.

The next scripture is Psalms chapter 127 verse 2 and it says this

It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night

Anxiously working for food to eat, for God gives rest to his loved ones.

The Devotional is titled, The Grace of Good Work. And it says says this I didn't wake up one day and decide to give the quiet life

a try my journey toward cultivating a different way to live was birth in a season when my life was anything but quiet.

I often chose work over sleep.

My stress levels were constantly elevated, hello cortisol. I was all work in no play, seriousness pervaded my mood every

day. And here's a real kicker. I liked it. And in fact, I loved it. I find deep satisfaction in a job well done and I look forward to the next project.

But my work pace was taking a toll not only on my health, but on my relationships as well.

Something needed to change.
