Morning by Morning, September 30, 2026 — Good to Be Home
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Thank You for Your constant Presence, wherever I am, every moment of every day. You are with me “always” (Matthew 28:20).
It’s good to be home and wake up in our own bed, in our own home this morning after two weeks of ministry abroad. I’m thinking of a verse from Your Word:
“Then the disciples went away again to their own homes” (John 20:10).
Your first disciples encountered You at the empty tomb. And before their next encounter with You at the upper room, they went “to their own homes.”
Rocio and I have just returned from our time of ministry in Belgium and Slovenia. We were blessed to be able to encounter Your Presence among such hungry hearts, excited and expectant for a move of God in their lives. We shared the hope of Your resurrection power, as You expressed Your heart of Your love and peace and joy through Your Holy Spirit.
And as soon as we made it home, it was time for our next encounter right here at home to teach my Tuesday Night class last night, getting to share some stories of what You had done in Europe, with expectant faith for what You want to do right here at home.
Wherever You are, “the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). For You are the King of the kingdom of heaven. “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16). And wherever we are—whether at home or abroad—You are right here in our hearts. “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). With “the Spirit of Christ” living in us, flowing through us, releasing the presence and the power of Your Spirit through us as Your disciples (Romans 8:9).
It’s good to be home. But best of all, it’s good to know You are at home in me, abiding in me as I abide in You (John 15:4). As You said to Your first disciples, You still speak today to every disciple whose opened their hearts and surrendered their lives to You and Your ever-abiding Presence:
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him” (John 14:23).
Heart to heart, Spirit to spirit, Deep to deep—one with You as You are one within me. “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
Thank You that my heart is Your home. Thank You that You’ve come and made Your home in me—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. Truly, it’s good to be home. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged this day. In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
