Daylight Meditations

As we begin today, let's thank God for the day and all we will accomplish. He gives us life and through us accomplishes His will on earth. Thank you, Lord God for guiding our steps, for guarding our hearts, for giving us life. May we serve you well today.

In so many places in Scripture we are told we are not alone, that God is with us. The Psalmist exclaimed, no matter where I go, You, God, will be there. Take comfort and believe. God is here with you, wherever you are.

Sometimes it is useful to listen to a well-known story or in this case, this beloved Psalm from a different perspective. The Passion Translation, a paraphrase of Scripture, invites us to consider our Security under God’s protective eye. As you listen, may you recognize in a fresh way, the extent to which God anticipates and meets our needs before we ourselves know them. We are protected, cared for, guided through life and given a home.  It is Love explained.

Peace is from God. We try to generate it, duplicate it and think that by saying it, it happens. It is a spoken word originating from God and given to us. Words are life-giving, or life-taking. Accepting peace is an act of our will, and a posture of our heart through which life is reproduced in the fullness of God-likeness as we carry about the life of Jesus in us. Listen carefully and let the peace of God rule in your heart and mind today.

In Deuteronomy chapter 6 we read: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD your God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” The Oneness found here is more than just one being; it has to do with a unity of thought, of purpose, and of desire. It is an agreement of thought and action. The Lord invites us to come into agreement with Him, to speak the same thing He speaks, for His desires to become our desires.

God knows we wonder who He is, who we are, and how this all fits together. The scriptures reference ‘the created order’ of living things, the questions are asked about ranks and priorities to rulings and purpose. Engage God with your questions. He’s waiting for you.

Every word God speaks is truth, life and holy. To speak truth is to speak life into another. To contemplate the truth is to integrate life into our being, letting it become us, that all that we speak is what the Holy Spirit has given us to speak – life and healing into the world that the world through Jesus’ life might know our Father’s love for each person.

As you listen today, let these words focus your attention on God, maker of the universe who also comforts and heals our broken hearts. May these moments of reflection bring you to a place of peace, knowing you are heard and noticed.

The truth of being free in Christ is explained in today’s meditation. It is sometimes hard for us to comprehend the reality of this as we tend to interpret freedom with movement and choices. The Scriptures speak of us being rescued from ‘the tyrannical rule of darkness’, and this rescue releases us from the chains of sin. Might we consider that this too, has freed us to move – to stretch high and wide into new places of spiritual growth in Christ.
