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.
