Morning by Morning, September 24, 2025 – Ten Days of Awe

 

Morning by Morning, September 24, 2025 – Ten Days of Awe Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart, as I seek to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ... “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 — the ten days from the Feast of Trumpets until the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:24-32) — I stand in awe of You, as I honor You and fear You in the reverence You deserve from me and from all the inhabitants of the world. I bow low in humility before You, I lift up my praises in worship of You — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of the Living God. Throughout the ages, these are days specifically intended to honor You and humble our hearts before You, in both the love of God and the fear of the Lord. “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of the Lord (the appointed times of the Lord), which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts (My appointed times)’” (Leviticus 23:1-2). Though You are the ultimate Fulfillment of every Feast, every Law, every Prophecy of the Old Covenant, just as Your Voice is our Trumpet and Your Blood is our Atonement, just as we are to honor You and humble ourselves before You every moment of every day, we are also moved during these appointed times to focus on You in an intentional, deliberate way. As You said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). These ten days, set apart in the appointed times of the Lord on Your Biblical Calendar, are days of opportunity, appointed for an attitude of heart 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. As David expressed: “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). “Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.... “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.... “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a (right) spirit within me” (Psalm 51:1-2, 7, 10). Thank You that when we seek You in humility and search for You in faith, You promise we will find You and 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 an intentional, deliberate attitude of my heart. Move me by Your Spirit to desire in my thoughts and my desires, 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 Tommy, may you embrace an intentional, deliberate attitude of your heart in both the love of God and the fear of the Lord during these Ten Days of Awe and every day of your journey of spiritual intimacy into spiritual maturity with the Lord, standing in awe of Him, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, September 23, 2025 – The Feast of Trumpets Fulfilled in Jesus

 

Morning by Morning, September 23, 2025 – The Feast of Trumpets Fulfilled in Jesus Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my heart and open up my ears to sense Your Presence and follow Your leading (John 10:27). ... “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 season of the Fall Feasts with the Feast of Trumpets. This Feast also beings the Ten Days of Awe between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27). And all the Feasts, like all the Law and the Prophets are ultimately fulfilled in You, Lord Jesus, Yeshua, our Messiah, our Christ, our Lord and Savior (Matthew 5:17). Everything written of the people of Israel throughout their journey is also intended to speak to us in Christ, who have now been grafted into Israel (Romans 11:17), 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). In the symbolism of this Feast, the sounding of the trumpets speaks of the call to gather Your people together and speaks of preparing our hearts for Your Presence, 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.” Many also believe the prophetic symbolism and patterns of the Scriptures indicate the Feast of Trumpets will ultimately be fulfilled in Your coming on the Feast of Trumpets in a year to come. And Your Word calls us to listen and be ready for the sounding of the trumpet on one glorious day: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words!” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) We may disagree about whether that day is the day of the Rapture or the day of the Second Coming of Christ or both together as one day, but all who are in Christ are looking forward to Your coming and the sounding of Your trumpet! May we be ready, with a personal, intimate relationship with You for the coming of that day! So on this day, during this season, sound the Trumpet of Your Voice in my spirit. Draw me near to You in deeper surrender, waiting 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). You are the Voice of One who sounds “as of a trumpet” (Revelation 1:10). 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). Let us be ready! Let us be ready and 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 your heart be ready for the coming of the Lord, this day and every day, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
