Morning by Morning, March 24, 2026 — Christ is Life

 

Morning by Morning, March 24, 2026 — Christ is Life Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lords, come rule and reign in my heart and life (Revelation 19:16). ... “When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory” (Colossians 3:4). You are my life. ... Lord Jesus, help me understand more of what this means. ... Here’s what comes to my heart and rises up to mind: “I am the way and the truth and the life. To the degree you embrace Me as your way, as your truth, as your life, I am your life. Abide in Me and allow Me to abide in you. Live in Me and allow Me to live in you.” ... Yes, Lord. These Scriptures come to mind from Your written Word in confirmation of what I believe I’m hearing as Your spoken word, in the way You say, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27): “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.... If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love” (John 15:4-5, 7-10). By the power of Your grace, in Your mercy and love, keep transforming me, keep renewing my mind, keep making me more like You with Your way, Your truth, and Your life being formed in me (Romans 12:1-2). Keep conforming me into the image of the Son of God (Romans 8:29). Keep making me more like You every day, “because as (You are), so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Christ is life. Christ is my life. Thank You for the grace You give me to embrace this truth and live into it throughout the moments of my days. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you abide in Jesus Christ, as He abides in you, that Christ may be your life, as you live into this truth throughout the moments of your days, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, March 23, 2026 — “Expectant”

Morning by Morning, March 23, 2026 — “Expectant” Good morning, Lord Jesus. Take me by the heart and lead me by Your Spirit, for the sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14). ... As I wait, what comes to my heart is the word “Expectant.” “My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. “Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah” (Psalm 62:5-8). With expectant faith, I turn to You and trust in You. With an expectant heart, I’m secure in You, confident in You. And with an expectant hope, I’m looking forward to see all You will do in me and through me this day. I’m expectant of good things today. Because You’re a good God. You have good plans for me, “to give (me) a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). You are for me. And “If God is for (me), who can be against (me)?” (Romans 8:31) Expectant. Encouraged. Excited to see what You will do this day and every day, as I entrust this day and every day into Your hands. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled with expectant faith, encouraged and excited to see all God will do in you and through you this day and every day, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!

Morning by Morning, March 20, 2026 — “The Place of Perfect Peace”

 

Morning by Morning, March 20, 2026 — “The Place of Perfect Peace” Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I begin my day in prayer, waiting for Your leading, I embrace the promise of Your Word, “Abide in Me, and I in you” (John 15:4). ... As I wait, what rises up from my spirit and into my mind are these simple words: “The place of perfect peace.” ... And this Scripture comes to mind: “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You” (Isaiah 26:3). Where is “The place of perfect peace,” Lord? ... I believe I hear You speaking in my heart: “The place of perfect peace is where you find rest for your soul because you are resting in Me. You enter the place of perfect peace when you are seeking Me with all your heart, when you are trusting Me through all you experience, when you are letting Me put My thoughts in your mind and My desires in your heart, letting Me form My nature in your nature, My character in your character. For I Am your Perfect Peace. As you abide in Me and I in you, you enter the place of perfect peace.” ... Yes, Lord. As best as I can and all by Your grace, I choose to enter this place of perfect peace and embrace the One who is my Perfect Peace today. Help me keep this perspective and pursuit and attitude of heart and mind throughout every moment of every day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you willing choose to be desperately dependent upon God alone with a heart of humility that draws the grace of God, bring you from humility to honor, this day and every day, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
