Morning by Morning, December 23, 2022 - “Prepare Him Room” and Sing for Joy! Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ... As I begin my prayer, I hear in my heart, “Prepare Him room.” ... And of course, the Christmas song I’ve heard since a child -- in Church, at home, on the radio, on tv, in department stores, even at school in those days -- Joy to the World, comes immediately to mind. “Let every heart prepare Him room. And Heaven and nature sing!” That’s my desire. And You’re the One who puts that desire in my heart, because that’s Your desire for me -- that I would prepare You room in my heart, that the joy of Your Presence would fill my heart, that I would even sing with joy along with all Heaven and nature that “The Lord is come!” “In Your Presence is fullness of joy!” (Psalm 16:11) “Behold, My servants shall sing for joy!” (Isaiah 65:14) “O, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations on earth” (Psalm 67:4). O come rule the world and rule in my heart. O come let us adore You. O come let us make room for You -- here in our hearts, here in our homes, here in our churches and department stores and schools and school board meetings and city council meetings and every area of our lives. When we make room for You, when “the Lord is come” in us, then we carry You wherever we go -- releasing Your joy to the world wherever we go! “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Christ in us, the “fullness of joy!” (Psalm 16:11) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, may you prepare Him room in your heart and carry His joy everywhere you go, in Jesus' name. Merry Christmas! God bless you!
