Morning by Morning, July 31, 2026 — "The Holy We"—I in You and You in Me
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Thank You for the gift of God to be invited with all Your sons and daughters to begin my day in communion with You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. …
“Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation. Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up” (Psalm 5:1-3).
As the Amplified Version expresses it, “In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].”
With the heart of David, I will look up to You. I will listen up for Your leading. For You hear my voice in the morning. And I watch and wait expectantly for You to speak to my heart.
Few, it would seem, get to ever experience Your audible voice in their ears. But all, You promise, get to experience Your voice in our hearts. As You said and continue to say, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).
As You “consider my meditation” this morning, as I listen for You to speak to my heart—Heart to heart, Spirit to spirit, Deep calling out to deep, deep down inside—what I sense I’m hearing is this:
“I am not only up in Heaven that I must come down to you. I am also right here, right now in your heart that I may also rise up within you. This is the place of constant communion I share with My sons and daughters who have opened their hearts to My Heart, their spirits to My Spirit. Listen, for I am speaking. Follow, for I am leading. I know you. And in this daily journey—even morning by morning—you are growing in knowing Me, My son.” …
Yes, Lord. Yes, Father. These words from Scripture now come to my mind to confirm what I believe I’m hearing in my heart:
“At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” (John 14:20).
“Abide in Me, and I in you” (John 15:4).
“That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me” (John 17:21).
Thank You, O Lord, My King and my God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—that You’re in Heaven and that You’re also in my heart. In this mystery of faith and spiritual communion, I am “one” in spirit with You. “He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
I’ll never become You, for You are always the Creator and I am one of Your created. But I do embrace Your invitation to come close to You, to embrace You coming close to me, to be “one spirit” with You, to become more aware of Your constant communion and ever-abiding Presence with me and even within me, always and forever. Just You said, “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).
I’m smiling in my heart now, hearing the words of my good friend, Dave Gentry, who calls this awareness of Your ever-abiding Presence “The Holy We”—I in You, and You in me, all the time, in every moment of every day.
So “I will look up to You” and I will also listen within to You, as I abide in You and You abide in me. Thank You for this gift of “The Holy We” I get to experience as a child of God, all the time, in every moment of every day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged this day. In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
