First in the Morning and Then Every Moment of My Day - September 13, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, September 13 - First in the Morning and Then Every Moment of My Day   Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, come rule and reign in my heart and my life today (Revelation 19:16). ...   “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).   You’re to be first -- Your kingdom, Your righteousness, which is to say Your will and Your way. Not my will, but Your will be done (Mathew 26:39). Not my kingdom, but Your kingdom come (Matthew 6:10).   So as I begin my day, I seek You first -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God.  I get in my prayer chair. I open up my journal, as I open up my heart, waiting in my spirit for the leading of Your Spirit.   King David, “a man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14), expressed his heart and the priority of his life, starting from the beginning of his day this way:   “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.   “Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips” (Psalm 63:1-5).   Give me that heart, I pray. A heart after God. A heart that seeks You first, that trusts in You first, that lives for You first -- first thing in the morning and then every moment of my day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be stirred your spirit with a heart after God to seek Him first in the morning and then every moment of your day, as you keep Him first, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day! Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministries Mailing Address: 412 S. Adams Street #148 Fredericksburg, Texas 78624 Please share this word to encourage a friend!
