Morning by Morning, July 16, 2025 - “Looking to Jesus”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and pray in Your Spirit to begin my day centered and focused on You (Jude 1:20). ...
“Looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
In my prayers, I’m looking to You, Lord Jesus. In my thoughts and desires, in my motivations and inspirations, in my words and actions, I’m looking to You, Lord Jesus. In running my race of my journey of faith, through every challenge I’ll face, every question I’ll have, every need I’ll receive, I’m looking to You, Lord Jesus (Hebrews 12:1).
You are “the Reflection of God’s glory and the Exact Imprint of God’s very Being (who) sustains all things by (Your) powerful word” (Hebrews 1:3). You are “the Image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). “For in (You) the whole fullness of Deity dwells bodily” (Colossians 2:9). “No one comes to the Father except through (You)” (John 14:6). To know You is to know our Father” (John 14:7). You are “in the Father and the Father is in (You)” (John 14:11).
You are One with the Father, One with the Holy Spirit (John 10:30; Romans 8:9). And somehow, in the mystery of faith and the mercy of God, You desire to be One within me and every one who will open their hearts to You and choose to live their lives looking to You (John 16:15-21).
So I open my heart to You. I choose to live my life looking to You. Right now in this communion of prayer at the beginning of my day and also as I rise and go out into my day to run my race of faith You’ve set before me today to make me more like You through the challenges I’ll face, the questions I’ll have, and the needs I’ll receive (Romans 8:29). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
