Daylight Meditations

It is 'in' Jesus that we are empowered by His Spirit, and find out who we are and why we are here. To remain in Him, to be known by Him, to find purpose, and life - that is our destiny. Consider what being 'in Jesus' really means to you as you listen today.

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.

So what comes to mind when you try to think about "what is authentic and true?" Someone's word, their promise? We constantly assess the truth of another's statement. Do we transfer those questions of whether the words are true to God as well? Perhaps we need to look closely at His promises and trust He indeed does speak truth in love. Always.

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.

In his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote, Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real. Controlling our thoughts is key to our perception of God's kingdom. We don't control its existence, only our experience of it. Focusing on what is true, what is real, what is authentic positions us to see, really see God at work in a world that sees only the physical realm. There is more to living, more to life and we're invited to join God in living to the fullness of our purpose.

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.

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.

Jesus' words are our words: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me.. to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." It is with confidence, we can seek God for wisdom, for confidence and for an anointing. After all, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."

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.

This meditation gathers together several statements that confirm and remind us of the truths of being 'in Christ'. If we are made by God for doing good, given everything we need to accomplish what God has prepared already for us to do, might we then conclude that there is nothing that can keep us from doing it - except our own choices? It is our choice to trust and live in the belief that what God has planned can indeed be accomplished with and 'in Him'.
