Morning by Morning, October 4, 2024 - Days of Awe

 

Morning by Morning, October 4, 2024 - Days of Awe

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I look up to You, my Redeemer and Redemption, who is always near. ...

 

“Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him” (Psalm 33:8).

During these Ten Days of Awe on the Biblical Calendar -- from the Feast of Trumpets until the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:24-34) -- I stand in awe of You, I bow low in humility before You, I lift up my praises in worship of You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. These are days intended to honor You and humble our hearts before You, in both the love of God and the fear of the Lord.

 

These are days of repentance and return, introspection and intimacy, solemnity in the searching of our souls to surrender to You all that is not yet like You:

 

“Search me, O God, and know my heart;

Try me, and know my anxieties;

And see if there is any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24).

 

Thank You that when we seek You in humility and search for You in faith, You promise that we will find You, that we will be embraced by You.

 

“You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord” (Jeremiah 29:13-14).

 

“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up” (James 4:10).

 

In these Days of Awe, help me embrace a living lifestyle of humility before You, dependence upon You, passionate pursuit of You, in both the love of God and the fear of the Lord. This day and every day, I stand in awe of You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you stand in awe of the Lord our God this day and every day in both the love of God and the fear of the Lord, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 3, 2024 - The Feast of Trumpets Fulfilled in Jesus

 

Morning by Morning, October 3, 2024 - The Feast of Trumpets Fulfilled in Jesus

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Arise in my heart and in every moment of my day. ...

 

“Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord’” (Leviticus 23:23-25).

 

On the Biblical Calendar, we’ve entered into the Feast of Trumpets in these Ten Days of Awe between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27).

 

The sounding of the trumpets speaks of joy, leading into this ten-day time of reflection and repentance, introspection and intimately listening in sabbath-rest for correction and conviction before the Day of Atonement. And at the same, there is to be “an offering of fire made to the Lord.”

 

Lord Jesus, You are the ultimate fulfillment of every feast, every prophesy, every law of the Old Covenant (Matthew 5:17). Everything written of the people of Israel throughout their journey is also intended to speak to us as prophetic examples of our relationship with You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God.  As Your Word teaches us, “All these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Corinthians 10:11).

 

On this day, during this time, sound the Trumpet of Your Voice in my spirit. Draw me near to You in deeper surrender, waiting in rest before You, listening for Your leading, embracing Your correction, and preparing my heart in trusting repentance in honor of all You have done for me. You are my Atonement -- “the Atoning Sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). You are “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).

 

So with the Fire of Your Spirit burning in my heart, let the Sound of Your Voice arise like a Trumpet in my spirit. Your sheep hear Your Voice (John 10:27). Your children are led by Your Spirit (Romans 8:14). And we find our sabbath-rest in You alone (Hebrews 4:9).

 

Lord, let it be so in me -- this day, through these ten Days of Awe, and throughout the days You’ve set before me on my journey with You. And I look forward to the day “the last trumpet” will sound! (1 Corinthians 15:52) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you hear the Sound of the Trumpet of God in your spirit, as you draw near to Him during these spiritual days of rejoicing, reflection, and repentance, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, October 2 - We Stand in Awe of our God Who is the “Wall of Fire” Around Jerusalem

 

Morning by Morning, October 2 - We Stand in Awe of our God Who is the “Wall of Fire” Around Jerusalem

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Ever-faithful One, Never-failing One, You are our Rock and Refuge--for me and for all who call on Your name to be saved, safe, and secure in You (Psalm 18:1-3; Acts 2:21) . ...

 

Yesterday on Tuesday October 1, 2024, the regime of Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles toward the major cities of Israel in what would have devasted major population centers of innocent lives. We stand in shock. And at the same time, we stand in awe of You and Your hand of protection. As I understand from the current reports, there were zero casualties from this overwhelming barrage of missiles. This Scripture came immediately to mind as the dust settled and the people of Israel were released to come out from their bomb shelters:

 

“‘For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be a Wall of Fire all around (Jerusalem), and I will be the Glory in her midst’” (Zechariah 2:5).

 

The weapons Israel deployed for her defense -- the Iron Dome, the David’s Sling, the Arrow -- along with intercepting missiles of two American Navy destroyers -- were the physical means of Your supernatural protection. These natural weapons of warfare defense, as ingenious and effective as they were, would have fallen far short of such an overwhelming assault with such catastrophic intent of destruction apart from You and You hand over the people of that nation. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). “No weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17).

 

We stand in awe of You. You are the “Wall of Fire” around her. You are the “Glory” of God within her. May the eyes of the world see what You have done. May the hearts of the world be open to receive the One who has done this.

 

On the Biblical Calendar marking the seasons and festivals of Scripture which carry prophetic significance for all generations, tonight at sundown begins the Ten Days of Awe. These days of introspection, repentance, and returning to You in faith mark the ten days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:24-34). “Be in awe and know that I Am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted throughout the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

 

“Wall of Fire,” God of “Glory,” I stand in awe of You. And at the same time, I pray as never before “In Jesus’ name, I pray as You have commanded “for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122) and for all the people of that land and this world to know the One who is our Peace (Isaiah 9:6; Ephesians 2:14). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you stand awe of the Lord our God who is a "Wall of Fire" and the glory of God around us and within us, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, September 27, 2024 - “Go!” and “Make Disciples”

 

Morning by Morning, September 27, 2024 - “Go!” and “Make Disciples”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are with me now and always, just as You said (Matthew 28:20). So I embrace You and Your Presence, here in my heart and in every moment of my day. ...

 

You spoke of  Your Presence with us “always” in Your last words to Your first disciples as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew:

 

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age’” (Matthew 28:18-20).

 

With Your authority, You send us with authority to “Go” and “make disciples,” bringing others in Your kingdom, into Your family, and “teaching them” of Your kingdom and their place in Your family in the authority of Your name and the character of Your heart. As many have noted, the first letters of the “Gospel” spell “Go!”

 

Our faith is not a passive faith. Our calling is not a hesitant, reluctant, bashful or shy, lazy or complacent calling. It’s alive and active, passionate and zealous, filled with expectant faith about seeing Your Word by Your Spirit make a difference in our world.

 

Just as with Your first disciples, it’s a faith and calling that’s meant by You to make a difference as we make disciples, until the world around us is “crying out, ‘These who have turned the world upside down have come here too!” (Acts 17:6)

 

What do You want to turn upside down in my world today, Lord? What do You want to turn upside down in my own heart, in my own attitudes, in my own perspective today, Lord? ...

 

I’m one of Your disciples. You’ve filled me with faith, called me by name, and sent me to “Go” and “make disciples” in my world. Unite me with Your Spirit and Your other disciples You’ve brought into my life in relationship with me--right here, right now, everywhere You’ll send me in every day I have left in this world--to “Go” and make a difference and see my world turned upside down in the power and authority of Your love and Your name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.


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


My friend, may you "Go!" and "make disciples" in the power and authority of the Love of God in Jesus' name in your world today, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
