Daylight Meditations

Scripture tells us ‘No weapon formed against us will prosper’ and in this Psalm we are reminded that it is our great God who breaks the bow and shatters the spear. We are told to ‘be still’ and allow Him to be exalted. It is not our efforts that save us from attacks. It is His presence.

Consider the power of rulers who speak with grace and use their authority for justice and truth. Such a person is worthy of praise, and worthy of honor. How majestic is the One who carries the power of Truth to people, who depend on the wisdom of God to rule the heart of the king.

The Psalmist speaks of disaster – mountains melting and oceans roaring, nations out of control and kingdoms falling. In the midst of it all, God is our refuge. God’s voice replaces the destructive forces with a power that is greater than the oceans and mountains, greater than kingdoms and rulers – even the earth must obey. We are safe in His city.

We are reminded in this Psalm that it is our Father God who gives us strength and protects us. When we are facing oppression, and war, struggling against injustice and fear – it is not by our might or power but because we know and believe and have faith in God that we see His hand turn the turmoil into peace.

We cannot escape death, regardless of our social status. We cannot buy our way out of the final decree of life – that death is our physical destiny. Yet… God opened a way for us to live – to escape the totality of being dead forever by sacrificing His own life on our behalf. The result is life beyond the grave. God has redeemed us so we can move from grace to grace, and be transformed from the physical realm to the eternal one.

One of the new paraphrases of the Scriptures describes faith as reaching into the future! Imagine! We find it difficult to consider this concept yet, isn’t that where God is? In the future, beyond time, in an eternal now? If that is so, might our faith, when expressed as trust and belief transport our spirit to God’s throne where we declare with confidence our trust in God’s goodness, His power and that His will be done here as it is already done in heaven? Listen closely as the scriptures reveal truths for you to live in, to believe today – for your life – today.

It is no secret that hope is that one aspect of life that keeps us going. The proverb nails it: When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. How true it is! Yet… as the Psalmist says, “my only hope is to hope in you alone!” And that, friends, is where we must land – hoping in God, the one who cares for us more than anyone else! Put your trust in God. He knows what is going on and he will not fail you.

Wisdom is a gift from God. It is more precious than jewels, and more valuable than money. It cannot be measured yet we know it is must be sought. God says to ask for it. And only with God’s help can we understand what He gives us. Let God open your mind to what His wisdom will do for you and in you. Just ask Him.

Knowing God is knowing peace. If we can still the thoughts in our minds, we can hear the whisper of God to our souls - Be still and know that I am God. It is then we also know that God can handle what we cannot. He will rescue our minds. He will guard our hearts. He will hear us – every time we call to Him. As you listen to these well-known scriptures, let the peace of God find its resting place in you.

Peter laid out for us the progression for growing up, for maturing as adults. They are choices we make in behavior forming our character. From faith to goodness to knowledge, we apply our understanding and trust God to add and increase our capacity for goodness and more knowledge. It is in our search for more of God that we receive so much more – causing us to grow up into the persons God designed, and desires us to be.
