Morning by Morning, August 7, 2025 - First Things First
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and welcome You into every moment of my day. ...
“Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, the Lord, am the First; And with the last I am He” (Isaiah 41:4).
Lord, You are “the First.” Be the First in my life. First Things first.
Let Your name be the first word from my mouth every morning. Let Your face be the first thing I seek as I begin each day in the communion of prayer and the fellowship of Your Spirit. Let Your will be my first desire and Your ways be my first choice.
Let everything else come second, as I seek You first, Your Kingdom of God, Your righteousness in my heart, where You set things right in me, right in my relationship with You, and right in my relationship with all others (Matthew 6:33).
By the power of Your grace at work within me, may I have no other gods before You (Exodus 20:3). Let every idol that would try to rise up and take Your place in my heart as my priority be cast down. Let every “stronghold” that would try to hold on strongly to my thoughts and desires, to try to replace Your place of authority and priority in my life be pulled down, “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
And let Your name be exalted. Let Your name be glorified. Let Your name and Your place be high and lifted up in my heart and life, right now in these first moments of my day and then throughout every moment of my day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
