Daylight Meditations

Those who rule may advance against you but God will demonstrate His love for you as your protector. He Himself is the fortress, the impenetrable wall of safety behind which you rest. Know that He will not let you down. Worship Him and trust Him to keep you safe – regardless of what you face.

Today’s meditation is Psalm 15. The privilege of dwelling with God is experienced when our hearts are aligned with right thinking and a posture of humility toward others. Daily we choose what we will say to and about others, how we will respond when rumors fly and to what end will we fulfill our promises? Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. (Ps. 51:10, NLT)

The earth belongs to God. The kings of the earth belong to God. Consider the implications of this truth as you listen to this Psalm. As His people, we are given seats of royalty – not to mistreat or misuse our position, but to bring honor to our great God of all creation, of all rule, of all the universe. May be live as those who are humbled by His attention, and attune to His commands.

Today’s meditation is Psalm 8. This Psalm reminds us to look up. To stand for a few minutes in awe of the skies and nature. To realize the Creator of it all, made us to rule with Him! He entrusted us with this world. It should make us stop and wonder – who are we that the God of the universe would care, would bother with us! Dear Father, forgive us for not paying attention; for not noticing the intricacies and details of life around us. Give us wisdom to know we need You to teach us how to care for creation, how to care for each other – how to care about what You care about…

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.

Today’s meditation is based on selected verses from Proverbs 4. If we remembered nothing else from the Bible, the words we will speak from Proverbs chapter 4, might well be some of the most important that we ever hear. We are to fill our thoughts with God’s words, taking time to unwrap them so they ‘impart true life and radiant health into the very core’ of our being. If we guard our hearts, paying attention to our inner selves, life will flow out of us. With plenty of hope and wise council, we are invited to take these words as truth. They will save us from a seared and hardened heart that cares not for our future or even ourselves.

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.

Today’s meditation is based on selected verses from Proverbs 4. Through the haze of today’s standards, we choose every day to live with integrity. To not compromise. To listen intently to the voice of wisdom. Not reason. It is only through wisdom that we can finish the race before us, holding to our deep, unspoken dream of finishing well. We get up when we stumble for the revelation of life’s meaning is only found in the heart of God. Wisdom calls to us to follow and learn well.

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.
