Morning by Morning,
December 3 - "Prepare Him Room"
Good morning, Lord Jesus.
Let my heart prepare You room. ...
"And you, child, will be
called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare
His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the forgiveness of
their sins. By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break
upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1:76-79).
Lord, Jesus, You are joy to
the world. And our world needs the joy of Your salvation-the joy of Your
forgiveness and healing and freedom that only comes by the tender mercy of our
God through the power of Your grace.
We all need the dawn of
Your salvation to break from on high into our hearts and fill us afresh with the
joy of life in You. And where we're feeling weary or worried, discouraged or
depressed, alone or afraid, we need Your Spirit to come breaking in like the
dawn of a new day to "restore unto (us) the joy of (our) salvation" (Psalm
51:12). Lift us up out of the darkness; call us forth out of the shadows; and
guide our feet into the way of peace.
This is the season of
advent-to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, to prepare for the coming
of the One who is our joy and our peace. As that classic Christmas hymn
proclaims in Joy to the World, "Let every heart prepare Him room." In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love
of Jesus, Tommy
Hays
