Daylight Meditations

In the quiet of this meditation time, let these words bring the truth of God’s heart for us into our minds, remining us to be as merciful and kind to others as He is toward us. Mercy dispels fear and kindness soothes the soul. May we overflow with acts of compassion for others today.

Grace is a word we use often, yet I wonder if we’re aware of the power and magnitude of the word. As an action of God, it erases our guilt. As an action of ours, it should pardon the sins of others. We are quick as seek acquittal yet we can be slow to grant it. Father, would you show us where we can be more like Jesus in this? Would you remind us of the strength in this characteristic of love – that keeps no record of wrong, but embodies the gentleness of forgiveness in the midst of justified wrongs.

The wisdom of the Psalm 37 captures the essence of understanding the relationship of trusting God and living our purpose: "Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!" It is only in letting go of what you want that you receive the direction, wisdom and strength to fulfill your purpose.

Our attitudes direct our thoughts which direct our actions. When we think about how God cares for us, that He takes care of us, we are able to change our attitudes and actions. As you listen today, let God’s care for you be the focus of your thoughts and you will find a gentle and growing strength in you for the day.

God wants us to know Him. Believing He is good, takes our trust to a new level. A Father whose character of pure love and goodness, is a Father we can love and trust. As Paul wrote, “we pray that by his power all the pleasures of goodness and all works inspired by faith would fill you completely.”

God has given us His peace, His righteousness and has reconnected us to Him. His intention is for there to never be a separation or break in our relationship. And it is so. He keeps this relationship. We experience by our choice to do so – every moment. Think about this as you listen today.

These scriptures give us perspective of God's dominion and reach. They remind us that Creator God is also the only one with power and dominion over the universe. As God's children, we are in awe of all we see - powers and authorities in heaven and on earth acknowledging His rule. May we not forget, as we too, belong to Him.

What we think about we become. Where we put our attention, what we dwell on in our thoughts guides our actions and decisions. May we remember the power of words, the strength of consistent intentions and the importance of right choices.

Our union with Jesus is a holy mystery. There may be moments when we experience being enveloped by perfect Love and times when we sense  perfect Peace. Yet, whether or not we sense or feel Him,  the truth is He is with us, we are with Him just as He said in John 17:22, "The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind—Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So they might be one heart and mind with us."  In this union, we give grace to others, speak of His love for them and live today as one who is God's child.

The scriptures say it so well, “For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.” If we focus our thoughts, asking God’s Spirit to fill our minds, guide our thoughts, we will live in peace, no matter our circumstances.
