Morning by Morning, July 21, 2025 - “Reign in Life”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). ...
As I wait and listen, what comes to my heart is a phrase I heard in church Sunday morning: “Reign in life.”
And this Word from Your Scripture:
“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17).
Through the sin of one man named Adam way back in the Garden of Eden, death began to reign in the earth, passed down from generation to generation in the destruction and decay of all humanity and all creation. Death and all its consequences entered the world through sin (v. 12).
But through the selfless sacrifice of the one Man, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes aways the sin of the world on behalf of all humanity and all creation, we now “receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness (v. 17). And in the abundance of Your grace, in the overflowing of Your mercy, we not only exist in life, not only endure and survive this life, we “reign in life” through Jesus Christ!
We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us!” (Romans 8:37) We are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, freely surrendering our lives to You that You could live in us, reigning in life, with victory over death! (Revelation 12:11) “Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Corinthians 15:57) “Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ!” (2 Corinthians 2:14)
We can “reign in life” because You reign in us.
You are the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (Revelation 19:16). And as You reign in us and empower us to “reign in life” as King of our hearts and Lord of our lives, we are victorious in You.
“For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him” (2 Timothy 2:11-12).
So come rule and reign in my heart and my life today—this day and every day, my Lord and my King. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
