Morning by Morning Daily Prayer Journey with Tommy Hays of Messiah Ministries
“Bloom and Flourish!” - Morning by Morning, April 1, 2025
“And (Jesus) said, ‘The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come’” (Mark 4:26-29)
Written and sent out from the morning prayer time of Tommy Hays each day.

Morning by Morning, April 1, 2025 - “Bloom and Flourish!”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of my heart and in the middle of every moment of my day. ...
We’ve been out of the country for twelve days on our ministry trip in central Mexico, just returning home to Texas yesterday. While we were away, the meadows and fields and all along the highways and byways exploded in fabulous color with famous Texas bluebonnets everywhere! Our backyard too. And what comes to my heart his morning are these words:
“Bloom and flourish!” ...
Yes, Lord. Let this be the season of bloom and flourish! This Word of Your Scripture comes to mind to confirm these words about the farmer who planted seeds and didn’t see anything happen for a season until the season came for what he had planted to bloom and flourish.
“And (Jesus) said, ‘The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come’” (Mark 4:26-29)
Lord, pour out Your blessing and favor upon all that’s been sown and planted, all that You’ve been growing up in ways we didn’t know and couldn’t see. Maybe some things we thought were just dead and buried and we’d lost hope of ever seeing them again. Maybe some things it seemed like the last season was going to last for ever.
And yet, one day we return to see what You have done! Sometimes what seems like what was hidden so long from us suddenly comes alive to us! Suddenly it’s time to bloom and flourish “because the harvest has come!” (v. 29)
Thank You for this season of new life, this season to bloom and flourish, this season when the harvest has come! Give us us eyes to see what You’re revealing, to celebrate what You’ve already done and embrace our part in what You’re doing now in this new season of new life today. By the grace of God, it’s time to bloom and flourish! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
