Morning by Morning, June 9, 2025 - Days of Rest

 

Morning by Morning, June 9, 2025 - Days of Rest


Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome You into my heart and every moment of my day. ...


As Rocio and I get ready to leave for a several days away for some personal vacation time, the word “Rest” comes to mind. ...


“And (the Lord) said (to Moses), ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14).


Thank You for Your Presence, Lord. Thank You for Your rest.


I’m so thankful for all the ways You allow me to be an “ambassador” of Your Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20), a “disciple” of Jesus Christ (John 15:8), a beloved “child of God” (1 John 3:2). I’m so thrilled for every door of opportunity of ministry You open and provide all the grace that’s needed to fulfill every mission (Isaiah 22:22). And, at the same time, I’m so humbled by You to admit my need to get away for some extended time of rest.


So as best as I can and all by Your grace, I’m entrusting my burdens and cares to You. And I know Your Presence will go with me, along every step of my path and in every moment of my rest. I pray You’d multiply the moments of my holy “naps” and divine “meditations” without too much regard for times and places and people for a few days away. May we be refreshed and renewed for our return.


And when we do return, help us to keep entrusting all the times and places and people to You, without slipping back into any old patterns of taking it all right back upon ourselves. In the mystery of faith and mercy of grace, I commit all this into Your Hands—Your nail-scarred Hands where You already bore all these burdens so that we don’t have to, as we entrust them all to You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
