Daylight Meditations

Our story begins with God. He has always been. There has never been a time when He didn't exist. Everything was made by Him and finds its purpose in Him, especially us. Before we were born, God has designs for us, a destiny that displays His kindness and grace, the power of life in love.

There may be times in our lives when work feels mundane, where efforts fall short and  we question our purpose. If we are God's child, we have a destiny that may never 'look' exciting or exotic. Yet, God has ordered our steps and written a plan that if we align and choose to follow is of eternal value - to Him and for us. As one translation says, "we have become His poetry" fulfilling the destiny designed specifically for us!

One of the most amazing statements in Scripture is that by being in Christ, we are complete. We are whole. We are not lacking. It is a complete truth. It is amazing because we see flaws, brokenness, and weaknesses. God tells us we are  already made new people, whole and holy. He stands with open arms telling us we are healed. We can stay frozen where we are or we can step into His kingdom and live in who He says we really are.

When we receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we enter into a relationship with God. In any relationship, the key to the relationship is communication. There are two important aspects to our communication with God - worship and prayer. Worship is often expressed in music, but worship is much more than being able to play an instrument or sing a song.

As a child of God we have been given many things, and direct access to Him is one of them. Many people yearn to please Him, to see Him and try all manner of ways to reach Him, yet our trust and belief of Jesus' death on our behalf gives us immediate access to Creator God who become our Father. We run through the throne room into His arms. His explosive love envelopes us as we lean in and trust Him to hold us still.

Jesus said, "everyone who loves the truth will receive my words." We know that God's word is alive and we also know that words have life or death in them. As you hear this meditation, consider Jesus' words. Do we love truth? Are we unwavering in our seeking truth, listening to truth, in order to live with fidelity and freedom every day?

The river of the water of life is a mystery to us. We know only of the water we drink each day that is necessary to live physically. Yet we are told there's more - there is living water!  Our spirits have access to this river of living water, that flows eternally from God's throne. Drink deeply, friends. It too, is necessary to live, really live.

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.

When we are at a low point, feeling overwhelmed and needing help, God reminds us, "Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you!" This is our comfort - that He hears us and that even our hope is from Him.

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.
