Daylight Meditations

Every child learns what is right, how to live well through the careful and kind guidance from a parent or parent model in their life. The truth about our Father God is that He has the same purpose, models the perfect role as parent with us as well. As His children we are subject to His guidance, His leading, His discipline - "for God is working in you, giving you the desire and and the power to do what pleases Him." What gifts they are. To give us what we need to pattern our decisions by what He knows is best for our development and maturity.

We are told Christ’s resurrection is our resurrection too. Wow! Might that we would embrace that truth and realize we are "living letters written by Christ, not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God". Let us believe this and know that we carry within the glory of the King of the universe. Let us bow and worship the Lord who trust us with Himself.

It is God who gives us strength to face each day, who lifts our head and who personally goes before us. Consider all He is doing even now as you listen to this episode. As the Psalmist wrote, Why am I discouraged? I will put my hope in God.

In this meditation, we find encouragement. We are reminded that doing good for others is a creative act of love. God will refresh us and empower us, if we embrace His desires, His will and His heart to help and take care of others in need.

No other issue should matter when I believe, truly believe God really loves me. He keeps me from stumbling, His love covers me like a blanket, His compassion is new every moment. Love is kind, gentle and forgiving. Knowing my Father loves me is what matters most in this world - and the next.

Dwell on the truth that in Jesus we live and move and have our being. To simply rest as a branch of the Vine, is to trust that we will be fed from the root. Our leaves will not wither and what we do will prosper. We will bear the fruit of the vine as long as we remain a part of it, and it a part of us.

God is on our side. In our troubles, we praise Him for we know He is taking care of us. Our heart is quiet and we are confident trust is in a God who will hear us. Today's meditation was originally broadcast on June 24, 2020.

Although we generally are unable to see the spiritual realm it is as real as what we can see. Our world is under the influence of the spiritual realm and freedom from oppression, hatred and resentment is experienced as we believe in Truth about who we are, who Father God is, how we have been equipped to live in His strength. For it is "in Him [Jesus] we live and move and have our being." Today's meditation was originally broadcast on July 22, 2020.

It is an amazing truth, in many ways greater than we can comprehend - that God chose us,  that He knew us before He created the world. We chose to believe this, and in turn have been given an inheritance of life in God's kingdom. What an honor to be chosen by the King of the universe, to be seen and to be adopted into His family. Might we honor Him in all that we think and believe. In turn, we will then honor Him in all we say and do. Today's meditation was originally broadcast on September 14, 2020.

There is a unique and powerful dynamic at work in God's kingdom. It appears to operate in tandem to our behavior and thoughts. If we forgive, we are forgiven. Conversely, if we don't forgive, neither are we forgiven. Our nature is to hold judgement over another, yet we then are judged. To reconcile is to bring freedom, to return the scale to equilibrium. There's only one way - to let go and keep no record of wrong.
