Daylight Meditations

We continue to explore the value of seeking God’s guidance in our lives. He is Truth, Life and Love. His character is such that He can not lie, He is eternal and He is the source of Love – His very nature. The gift of His Holy Spirit to us, placed in us, is priceless and always available, always listening. Are we? Take these moments as you listen, and listen for Him – it is His words we are hearing – teach us the proper path, Lord. We will draw near – tell us the secrets of Your promises.

Although different attributes of our behavior and attitudes, kindness and gentleness are closely related. Both convey a sweet attitude toward others. Kindness is an act as well as an attitude. It reaches out, is sympathetic and soothes the rough edges of life that another person is wrestling with. As you listen today, let kindness become a tangible action in your thoughts and actions by taking in the reality of these living words and letting them be who you are when you are with others.

This prayer echoes our heart. Be there for me; direct me; reveal the way… it’s a common cry from human beings to God. We are wise when we call to God before we face our crossroads – should we take the path to the left or to the right? What does God know that we don’t? Everything! Real wisdom is acknowledging our inability to see the future and choosing to ask the One who does. His love for us is deep and unfailing. He won’t send us where He won’t go with us.

There are people we admire. They face the difficult situations in their lives with a sense of purpose, yet are pliable to God’s greater purpose. They have an outlook of hope when we doubt and they show us how to live with God’s faith. Doing the right thing at the right time is wisdom learned, and wisdom applied.

What is it about Peace that we all seek? It is a feeling and a frame of mind. It is also a place where the heart rests, where our anxiety is calmed, and our worries are banished. Sometimes we are so occupied with seeking it that we miss it – to be at peace is to refrain from struggling, to accept where we are regardless of how we measure the journey. Often it’s a choice – in the midst of chaos. Choose peace. Trust God. That’s where he wants us to be. Trusting Him is our source of peace. In Him, we are at peace.

Sometimes our perspective clouds the reality of God's nearness. We reach out toward heaven searching for God. Only when we've surrendered what we believe is dear, do we find He was always close by. When I was in deep distress, I reached out for you with hands stretched out to heaven.

The light Jesus brought was a spiritual one. We can not see it with our eyes, yet we sense it when we meet others who are lit by the presence of Jesus in them. There’s a gentleness to the face, and often compassion in the eyes. The lamp of the Lord, is the light of life – Jesus. It is He who shed light on our human soul, who illumi-nates the darkness shares the knowledge of God to us. As we’re asked, let’s live as children of light and find out what pleases God.

Hope lays deep within us, keeping us from despair and looking for change, for a new day, for break in the clouds. Proverbs nails it – to walk in wisdom and discover our purpose – this gives us a living hope which guides our steps through life.

Today’s meditation is based on selected verses from Proverbs, the Psalms and Matthew. Honesty is a virtue that we value as individuals and in society. Without it, we have no moral compass with which to navigate agreements, and social values. It is the bedrock of relationships and is critical to mental and emotional well-being of us all. God warns of dishonestly in business, instructing us to treat others fairly, to protect those who might be subject to others’ deceit because to do so, is a type of justice. It is the thread of gold woven into our communities that keeps us in peace with one another.

We look at the universe and wonder how was this done?! Was there a plan? How might we see it or even understand it? We explore space and examine the creation and death of stars. In Psalms we read God spoke and worlds were created. His words created and break kingdoms. His power and His love are seen in His words.
