Morning by Morning, January 21, 2026 — The “Preeminence” of Christ
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be high and lifted up, here in my heart and life and every moment of my day. ...
“That in all things He may have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:18).
Your Word says You have “preeminence” in all things. You’re to be first in everything, with supremacy, authority, majesty, and priority.
Help me keep You first in my life, Lord. Not just as I look up to You, draw near to You, and speak out my welcoming greeting to You in these first moments of my morning, but also throughout every moment of my day.
Yours is the name above every name (Philippians 2:9). And Yours is the nature You want to form in the heart and life of every person who will call on Your name, embrace Your Spirit abiding in us, giving You first place, giving You “preeminence” in our lives. “(We) are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in (us). Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His” (Romans 8:9).
So come, “be lifted up” in my heart, my life, and every moment of my day in the place of preeminence in me and in my world. For You are “the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last” (Revelation 22:13). You are “Lord of all” and first of all (Acts 10:36). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
