“From Faith to Faith” - January 30, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, January 30 - “From Faith to Faith”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me begin my day grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...

 

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith’” (Romans 1:16-17).

 

“From faith to faith.”

 

We’re in between our adventures of faith right now. Last week in Mexico; next week in India. In between, I’ll be teaching two of my classes and sharing stories at one of Rocio’s tamale parties with friends.

 

Every day is an adventure of faith, an opportunity to share the hope I carry in my heart of Your mercy and love, Your power and grace -- “from faith to faith,” step by step, person by person, morning by morning, all along the way. And You’ll be right here with me, right here by my side, right here in my heart, every step of the way.

 

As Your Word compels us, “Make sure that in your hearts you honor Christ as Lord. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. Be ready to give the reason for it. But do it gently and with respect” (1 Peter 3:15 NIRV).

 

So as I rise now from my place of prayer and go out into the places You send me -- whether heading over to meet the men for coffee in a minute or heading half way around the world in a week -- You’re filling me with expectant faith for all I’ll experience and encounter on my daily adventure of faith in You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My freind, may you be filled with expectant faith as you go about your daily adventure of faith in Jesus today, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Going Nowhere Without the Presence of God - January 19, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, January 19 - Going Nowhere Without the Presence of God

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ...

 

And (The Lord) said (to Moses), ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Then he said to (The Lord), ‘If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here’” (Exodus 33:14-15).

 

Like Moses, I don’t want to go anywhere You’re not going.

 

Don’t let me get ahead of You or behind You. Let me hear the Voice of Your Spirit, saying, “This is the way, walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21). Let me know Your Voice and follow You (John 10:27). As a son of God, let me be led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14).

 

It’s only in Your Presence that there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). It’s only in Your Presence that there is peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

 

So let me pursue Your Presence (James 4:8), abide in Your Presence (John 15:4), embrace Your Presence (Hebrews 10:22), rest in Your Presence (Hebrews 4:1).

 

Then I can follow Your Presence wherever You lead, whenever You lead, however You lead. Because without Your Presence, I don’t want to go. And I thank You today, with all my heart and mind and soul and strength, that I never have to be without Your Presence -- for You are with me always (Matthew 28:20). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you follow the Presence of God everywhere He goes, as You abide in Him and He abides in you, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

“Attentive” - January 17, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, January 17 - “Attentive”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind, Your desires in my heart, Your words in my mouth, as I begin my day grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit. ...

 

“I will stand my watch

And set myself on the rampart,

And watch to see what He will say to me,

And what I will answer when I am corrected” (Habakkuk 2:1).

 

Lord, I’m watching and waiting. I’m taking my position and standing my watch. I’m watching for You, waiting for You. I’m looking for You, listening for You. ...

 

What will I see? What will You say? I “watch to see what (You) will say to me.” ...

 

What comes to my heart this morning is this: “Attentive. I’m training your spirit to be attentive to My Spirit. I train you in the communion of prayer, where your spirit is sensitive to My Spirit that you learn to sense My leading and hear My voice in deeper intimacy and closer awareness of My Presence.” ...

 

Yes, Lord. Teach me. Train me. Correct me and align me. Let my spirit be “attentive” and called to attention, even as a watchman on the rampart, taking my position on the wall to watch and see all that’s around me now and what may be coming in the times to come that You want me to know. Above all, to watch and see You -- as I “Look to (You) and (Your) strength; and seek (Your) face always” (Psalm 105:4).

 

Your Word comes to mind from Your Scripture:

 

“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21). “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14).

 

So I stand my watch in You. I take my position in You. I’m being trained up in You to more and more “attentive” to You -- spirit to Spirit, heart to Heart, deep calling out to Deep (Psalm 42:7).

 

As I draw nearer and nearer to You, You keep drawing nearer and nearer to me in an intimacy and attentiveness I’ve not know before but I’m longing to experience now. Just as You’ve promised in Your Word, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to You” (James 4:8). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you be "attentive" to watch and see the Lord and all He is saying to you, drawing to Him as He draws near to you in deeper intimacy with Him, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

“Take Your Position” - January 16, 2024

 

Morning by Morning, January 16 - “Take Your Position”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Clothed in Christ, filled with the Spirit, embraced by my Father, I begin my day pursuing You, here in the conscious awareness of the Presence of God. ...

 

As I wait for Your leading, I hear in my heart: “Take your position.” ...

 

Yes, Lord. ... In Your words I sense, I have a position. And I am to actively take my position. ... What is my “position,” Lord? ...

 

In my heart, I hear, “I AM your Position. As You pursue Me, as You allow Me to abide in you as you abide in Me, you are taking your position. You in Me and I in you, you are prepared for all you will encounter this day -- in your life and in the lives I will touch through your life.” ...

 

Yes, Lord. ...

 

As I test and discern what I believe I’m hearing in my heart as Your words of spirit and life, this Scripture comes to mind to confirm what I hear:

 

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23).

 

This is my prayer. This is my “position.” In the mystery of faith and the power of Your grace, I take my position in You today. You are my Position.

 

As David said, “You are my Portion and my Inheritance” (Psalm 16:5). You are my “All in all” (1 Corinthians 15:28).

 

As Your Word affirms and invites us to embrace: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as (we) were called in one hope of (our) calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in (us) all” (Ephesians 4:4-6).

 

That’s the position I take, the Position in whom I stand, as I get up now and go out into my day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you "take your position" as you abide in Christ and He abides in you, right now and as you go out into your day, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
