Morning by Morning, December 5, 2025 – May We See a Great Light Good morning, Lord Jesus. My eyes are on You, as I listen and wait to begin my day taking time with You. ... “Only lights.” The words of a friend spoken at church yesterday morning come to mind. She’d had an especially rough year, looking forward to a new year soon, told us she decided her Christmas tree would have “only lights” this year. She didn’t say it with a sense of discouragement or weariness or the sense of “I’m just too tired to do anything else.” But with a smile and a sense of simplicity, a priority of focus. Without explaining, I knew what she meant. No glitter. No ice-cycles. No ornaments. Just the lights. Just Jesus. Just the One who is the Light of the world. No other focus. No distractions. Just Jesus. “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned” (Matthew 4:16). I’m hearing in my heart right now the words of the worship song, Light of the World You stepped down into darkness Open my eyes, let me see Here I am to worship ...
In the many distractions of the Christmas season, help me keep my eyes on You, Lord Jesus. Help me keep You at the heart of all I see, all I do, all I am. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
