How do we balance our ability, desire and need to choose with letting God lead us? If we are tuned in to God’s heart and if our desire is to do His will, we will be led into our destiny as He designed. The desires of our heart will align with His and we will find fulfillment, and purpose in our lives. He often cautions us to ‘wait’ and ‘be still’. No matter where we are in our age, career or life stage – these words are sage advice. Align your heart with God’s heart as you listen today.

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.

What is it about Peace that we all seek? It is a feeling and a frame of mind. It is also a place where the heart rests, where our anxiety is calmed, and our worries are banished. Sometimes we are so occupied with seeking it that we miss it – to be at peace is to refrain from struggling, to accept where we are regardless of how we measure the journey. Often it’s a choice – in the midst of chaos. Choose peace. Trust God. That’s where he wants us to be. Trusting Him is our source of peace. In Him, we are at peace.

The Psalmist reminds us once again, that no matter the situation, our God reigns. He is the one who brings joy to us. He is the one who defends and protects us. The earth might shake, the ocean waves might overwhelm us, but we are secure and safe with Him. As you listen today, remember He is the Lord of the Angel Armies. Put your trust in God.

As you listen, consider what God tells us continually throughout the scriptures –He says, “Recognize that I am God, and I care about you. Be quiet and let Me be Your salvation. Let me fix the broken parts of your life. Understand that I, God, can do anything and all that I do, is breathtaking! Surrender your anxiety and trust Me to take care of you.”

Hope is an expectancy for change, for relief, for better results. Life is truly short and often we cling to the things we acquire instead of our God who always supplies what we need. It is the gladness, joy and hope that makes life worth living. God, would you open our eyes to Your hope for us, Your joy in us and Your path which gives us purpose and meaning to our lives? As you listen today, ask God to open your heart to hear His kind words of encouragement for today.

This Psalm speaks powerfully about the relationship between our trust in God and His response to our trust. When we look to Him for relief, for protection and safety, we exercise a hope and belief that He hears us and will respond and defend us. We wait in silence. Our heart is quiet because we know He is near and sees what we need. God is compassionate and kind. He desires to enter our lives – with us – to be a part of our every day, in every moment. Trust Him – He cares for you.

The Psalmist speaks from an honest and broken heart – addressing the brevity of life. It is a painful and sobering thought. Yet this prayer is to know how limited our time is. It is a cry for truth, even though it isn’t something we like to think about or confront. As we listen today, will this cause us to live with purpose, knowing every moment is a divine appointment IF we choose to live in God’s guidance? Might we truly guard our hearts and live in the light of God’s directives rather than the shadows of fear and loss? Even in the darkness, God is with us. It is light to Him, therefore, it is also light to us. Let it be so.

Today’s meditation is based on selected verses from Psalm 19. As you listen to today’s meditation let the words be written in dashes of light on your being. Creation says not a word, yet we hear and see the craftmanship of God everywhere. From the sun, moon and stars, to the mountains and the oceans it all displays greatness beyond our abilities. We cannot make or recreate what God has done or is doing. We can only participate. Might we join Creation in praise today to the one true God of the Universe?
