Praying takes many forms: giving thanks, cries for help, interceding for others, requests and as the last scripture in this meditative episode reveals – it is God’s song to us that is a prayer to Him. Imagine! Might we listen first and hear what He wants us to say to Him, who He wants us to talk with Him about, how He wants us to approach the day? Consider these things as you listen today.

The scriptures remind us when we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. God drenches us in His love and gives us the capacity to love others the same way. Living well, is letting go of a temporary role to gain a far greater identity - one who loves like Jesus.

We are never beyond learning and to seek knowledge and understanding will yield greater wisdom. No matter our age, we are children in God’s eyes, subject to training and learning so we will ‘grow up’ in Christ as mature beings. God is pleased with our development and He encourages us to seek to become all He designed for our capacity to grow in. Let’s not be weary, so slow to accept His best for us.

To become who we were born to be, begins when we believe who Jesus is. Our spirit is born and we become new creatures. It then becomes our deepest desire to learn about our identity, our purpose and our destiny. Today's meditation reminds us why we yearn to know more about God, to know God, and therein learn who we really are.

Hope is a lifeline for our soul. Hope is the confident assurance, the expectancy of good coming when we’ve not yet seen it. 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. As you listen today, see if the hope within you is sparked to life by these words of wisdom.

Today’s meditation touches on guidance for leading well. In God’s kingdom, those who are willing to serve, who honor others, who are not intimidated by being kind and honest are great. Solomon said, Good leadership is built on love and truth. Transparency in intentions, compassion for others are the hallmarks of those who are willing to do what is right. Every time. Let these words of truth permeate your mind and heart and lead well in the role you have been placed.

There is a recurring theme in scripture – God’s comfort cascades on us when we are suffering. Do we see it? Do we feel it? Often not. Yet – it’s true. He hears us and is near. It isn’t dependent on our faith, it is God who keeps us from falling, from failing; whose words of hope and truth resound in our spirit as we wonder where He is. I’m here, He says. I’m in this with You. I have not left. If you are suffering – be assured- you are not alone.

Collaboration is often defined as two or more parties successfully working together on professional or artistic projects. It is more than cooperation. It is the developing of each other’s ideas. Might we have ideas that are bigger than us? That somehow are incomplete yet crucial to the success of the concept? Are we willing to let go of our ideas and explore the power of collaboration through which God’s Spirit can and does ignite passions and ideas never before thought of? Might our dreams be the catalyst for something bigger that can only be accomplished with others? What will God breathe into your spirit today as you listen for His dream for you? Is it to share your dream with another? Is it to trust God to protect what He’s given you as you venture to share your passion with another?
