Morning by Morning, August 13, 2026 — “Volunteer Freely on the Day of Battle”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I begin my day here in the communion of prayer with You, help me hear Your Heart and pray Your Word. …
As I wait for Your leading, this comes to my heart:
“My people will volunteer freely on the day of battle. And every day is the day of battle. A battle for your soul, your health, your spiritual life, your family, your community, your nation, and all you hold dear. But take heart. I will lead you. And you will overcome on the day of battle. Your victory is already won in Me.” …
Yes, Lord. And of course, this Scripture comes immediately to mind to confirm with Your written Word what I believe I’m hearing through Your spoken word in my heart:
“Your people will volunteer freely on the day of Your power; In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, Your youth are to You as the dew” (Psalm 110:3 NASB).
We are Your people. And there’s no doubt we’re in a battle every day. And at the same time, every day is “the day of Your power.”
Your power is mighty to save, mighty to heal, mighty to free, mighty to change every heart that will open to You and every circumstance we bring before You. For at the authority and power of Your name, every knee must bow and every tongue confess that “Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10).
But You give us the choice to turn to You, to trust in You, or to depend upon ourselves, trusting in our power and wisdom, leaning on our own understanding instead of acknowledging You in all our ways (Proverbs 3:3-6). We can “volunteer freely” to join You, arrayed “in holy splendor,” in the holiness of heart and life fully surrendered to You and Your will and Your ways for our life, or not.
I volunteer, Lord. I say, Yes, Lord. Here I am. Send me. Send me into the battles of my day, in the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:11), clothed in Christ (Romans 13:14), and filled with Your Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). I volunteer freely and confidently because the battle belongs to the Lord! (1 Samuel 17:47) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged this day. In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
