Morning by Morning, September 17, 2025 – “Children of God” Who “Believe in His Name”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. My Lord and Savior, fill me with Your Spirit as I begin my day in the communion of prayer with You – Father, Son and Holy Spirit of God. ...
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
This morning, I got up a little extra early to go to our local public Middle School with a group from the Bridge, our local church in Fredericksburg, Texas. Once a month we go before classes start to welcome the students with a simple time of worship and a word of encouragement from the Word of God. And, admittedly, we also give them donuts! “Devos and Donuts” our Youth Pastors call it, for devotionals and donuts. The students come and hear about Jesus and the love of God before they start their day at school. We invite the other youth pastors and leaders in our community to come join us as well.
We praise You for our freedom of religion and freedom of speech, even on government property and public places, in a nation where we can still speak the name of Jesus. We thank You for the legal, Constitutional victory of the recent United States Supreme Court case decision of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District reaffirming Coach Kennedy’s right to take a knee and pray at public football games without fear or intimidation, along with our rights of freedom of religion and speech wherever we are in America as well. In a major shifting of the spiritual atmosphere of our nation, this case overruled years of bad law and reestablished the original intent of Constitutional law guaranteeing freedom of expression of religious conviction, whether in public or private.
We are free to not only speak the name of Jesus but also to extend the love and truth of Jesus. In His name and in His love, we’re free to offer “the right to become children of God” for all who would come and hear and “believe in His name.” Thank You for the students who came and heard, who came and received today! With donuts in their bellies, the Word of God in their spirits, and a song of worship in their hearts, may every one of these children of God carry the love of God down the halls, into the classrooms, onto the practice fields and band rooms and everywhere else Your light will shine in them and through them today! Do the same in us, as Your children of God, this day and every day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
