Morning by Morning, January 19, 2026 — God Fills the Temple of Hearts Dedicated to Him

 

Morning by Morning, January 19, 2026 — God Fills the Temple of Hearts Dedicated to Him Good morning, Lord Jesus. I seek Your face to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit. ... As I wait for Your leading, the image of the temple of Solomon comes to find, being filled with the glory of the Lord upon its dedication: “Then the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying: ‘Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.’ So Solomon built the temple and finished it” (1 Kings 6:11-14). “And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. “Then Solomon spoke: “The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud. I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever” (1 Kings 8:10-13). Our bodies are now Your temple (1 Corinthians 6:19). Our hearts are now Your dwelling place (Hebrews 3:6). You no longer dwell in temples of stone made by men, You live in us—in every heart open to You, seeking You, drawing near to you (Acts 17:27). You dwell in us, “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Let Your glory fill my heart today, as I seek You, draw near to You, and embrace Your Presence here in my heart. Just like the priests of the temple could not stand in Your Presence, I can no longer stand in my own strength apart from You. As You said, “Without Me, you can do nothing” (John 15:5). By the power of Your grace and the mercy of Your love, I’m never without You. You’re always abiding in me and I in You (John 15:4). Like Solomon dedicated the temple to You, I dedicate my heart to You. Come fill Your temple, Lord. Fulfill Your Word in me now and every moment of my day, that I may ‘know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that (I) may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled with the fullness of God as you dedicate your heart to God, in Jesus' name.
