Daylight Meditations

Talking with God is our privilege, an honor that we often overlook. To be with Him, to have His attention is a priceless gift He pours into us life and love as we take time to be in His presence. Let today's scriptures remind you of these truths.

God’s anger is always directed toward that which robs us of living in the life and blessing of God. What makes us angry is very telling. Anger can come from a frustration in our lives when we are not dealing with something that needs to be taken care of. What makes you angry? Why does it make you angry?

When there are things in our lives that need correction, it's always good to take care of them right away. Let God work in your heart to go to the very root of the anger and heal what needs healing. Then we can, instead of living in and being motivated by anger, live in the peace of God and be motivated by His love.

Paul reminds the Philippians (and us!) to not fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray; encouraging us to let Jesus be the center of our life. He will also displace our worry, our fears and our doubts. When we choose to rejoice, and trust Him, He gives us a sense of belonging, of wholeness.

Today's meditation continues our examination of our hearts, reminding us that our gift of freedom is through forgiveness. So, we too, must free others, no longer slaves to our unforgiveness. Let us freely give not only to others, but ourselves as well!

As you listen to this series, Conversations with God, consider the greatest value of your best conversations. Were they not a time of getting to know someone? Did your heart find comfort in realizing someone wanted to you about you? that you in turn, were delighted to share in another’s life? This is how God sees it too. Yes, He know us. But, do we realize He wants us to know Him in the same way?

Children learn from their parents. Through loving guidance they learn what is right and best. As God's children, we watch and listen. We learn how to be kind, to forgive as we have already been forgiven in Christ. This meditation reminds us that our experience of forgiveness is tied to our choice to forgive those who offend us. It releases the power of love between us, and between us and God. Can we trust our Father's advice that forgiving is to give freedom?

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 theme for today’s meditation is I am Trusting You, based on selected verses from Psalm 57. God is on our side. In our troubles, we praise Him for we know He is taking care of us. Our heart is quiet and we are confident trust is in a God who will hear us.

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. True worship happens in our hearts. It is posture of recognition that the One who has our attention, also has our commitment to serve and honor Him.

God's mercies for us are fresh each day. He knows what we need before we realize ourselves what it is. Remember you are in His care. Tell Him how you feel and trust Him to take care of you. He is your true refuge.
