Morning by Morning, October 7, 2024 - “Everyone.... Come to Me”

 

Morning by Morning, October 7, 2024 - “Everyone.... Come to Me”

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and listen for Your leading, as I begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit (John 10:27). ...

 

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,

Come to the waters;

And you who have no money,

Come, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk

Without money and without price.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,

And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

Incline your ear, and come to Me.

Hear, and your soul shall live;

And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—

The sure mercies of David”

(Isaiah 55:1-3).

 

Four times in these three Verses, You say, “Come....”

 

You call “Everyone” to “Come.” You invite “Everyone” to “Come.” You reach out to “Everyone” to pursue You as You express Your heart for us, “Come to Me.”

 

How do we “Come to (You)?” ... You said, “Incline your ear, and come to Me” (v. 3).

 

How do we “Incline (our) ear?” ... We “listen carefully to (You), and eat what is good” (v. 2).

 

This speaks of intentionally, deliberately positioning ourselves in Your Presence, of eating Your Word by reading, hearing, and being grounded in Your Word. This speaks of waiting on You in prayer, listening for the leading of Your Voice through Your Word and by Your Spirit.

 

You are ready to be heard. You are ready to be pursued and sought after. You are ready to embrace and lead. You are ready and available to “Everyone” who will “Come” (v. 1).

 

And when we do, You promise us, “Your soul shall delight itself in abundance” (v 2). You promise us, “Your soul shall live” (v. 3). These are “sure mercies” of an “everlasting covenant” that will never be broken, never be cancelled, never be replaced with anything less for all who would “Come” (v. 4).

 

So I embrace Your invitation. I take time to listen and to wait in the communion of prayer and the praise of worship as I open Your Word. I come to You and embrace the Ever-abiding Presence of Your Spirit, here with me and in every place and moment of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


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


My friend, may you "Come" to God -- God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit -- that you soul shall live and delight itself in abundance in Him, in Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

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!
