Daylight Meditations

Whether we have spent much time thinking about it or not, as God's children, we add flavor wherever we go. Our interactions are the sprinklings of God's grace, spiritual and eternal blessings to grace the lives of the lonely, the sad ones, and those who are burdened. We don't often know who they are. We are just to be a savory moment that makes their day a little better.

It's pretty simple, really. God says, your work is to do good. God has asked us to join Him in loving others, being gentle and kind, forgiving as we have been forgiven, sharing what we have and blessing with the gentle rains of peace. For this, we will be called His people. What an honor.

Today is the second part of Living in God's Plans for Us. Each sentence of this meditation is advice for staying the course, for realizing we can trust Him to lead us, to reveal His plans for us, and to live in what He has purposed - proving His will is indeed good, acceptable and perfect for each of us.

In so many places in Scripture we are told we are not alone, that God is with us. The Psalmist exclaimed, no matter where I go, You, God, will be there. Take comfort and believe. God is here with you, wherever you are.

This meditation has two parts. The first one, today, postions us. We are to listen as sheep listen and obey their shepherd. We are to trust, that we will be fed, and protected. We are to believe that goodness and mercy are with us every day of our lives. This establishes our thoughts and keeps us from wandering away from God's best for us.

We have the experience of light and darkness every day. In our physical realm, there is day and night. In the spiritual realm, it is life or death. Jesus taught, God is light and there is no darkness in Him. This more than we can understand, yet it is totally true. God's Spirit give life through trusting Jesus, and this life from God dispels the darkness in and around us. We are transformed into the image of Jesus. Trust Him to shine in and through you. Be light and love in your world today.

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.

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.

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 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.
