Daylight Meditations

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.

There are people we admire. They face the difficult situations in their lives with a sense of purpose, yet are pliable to God’s greater purpose. They have an outlook of hope when we doubt and they show us how to live with God’s faith. Doing the right thing at the right time is wisdom learned, and wisdom applied.

There is only one voice that speaks on our behalf. It is God Himself, who took our judgement and set us free. He is the only who has the right to condemn us but He never will. He took our sin, our guilt on Himself. He will not come back and tell us how wrong we are, no - He wraps us up in goodness and holds us close to His heart continually.

For us who know God, we know the presence of God either changes us or changes the situation we’re in. God assures us He works everything for our good and according to His purposes. And what are His purposes? To change us into the sons and daughters He created us to be – just like His Son. So,, if God is for us, who can be against us? Really, only us. God’s love for us never ceases, never diminishes. He is continually calling us to following Him into our future. To turn our hearts toward His so we can fully experience the goodness of our His love in every moment of our lives. In the tapestry of our lives, there is one strand that is interwoven into every fiber of our being; it is the love of God. Might we consider and realize there is no greater goal, greater purpose for ourselves than to grow up into the men and women of God? People who know we were made to carry light into darkness? Let’s be brave and follow His light – wherever He goes.

The truth about our Father God is that He has freed us from the lies that say we are not worthy of love, that we are not good enough, that we are failures, so don’t try anymore. Regardless of your physical condition, your emotional state of mind, or what you have been told -  the absolute truth is - in Jesus, you are free. Choose to believe the truth. God so loved you that He gave His only Son for your freedom. No longer are you a slave to this world. You are free indeed.

Today’s meditation challenges us to trust God. If we listen as sheep listen trusting the one leading us that we will be fed, and protected, we can move through our days with confidence that we’re not alone, or forgotten. We can believe that goodness and mercy are with us every day of our lives. How much do we trust Him? What might be lurking in the shadows of our lives? When will our cups of fresh water brim and be enough? Is this really the right path to take, God? Take this time to establish your thoughts and put your trust in God's intended best for every moment of today.

Every child learns what is right, how to live well through the careful and kind guidance from a parent or parent model in their life. The truth about our Father God is that He has the same purpose, models the perfect role as parent with us as well. As His children we are subject to His guidance, His leading, His discipline - "for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." God guides us, directing our steps so we will pattern our decisions by what He knows is best for our development and maturity.

For many of us, our home is a place of safety and shelter. For some of us, that is not necessarily so. With God, though, home is always a safe place. And being with God, is a safe place. God wants us to remember we have a 'home' in Him, where we are hidden from the chaos and trouble, where there is ease and comfort and we can be ourselves. Our Father's place is our place – we are with Him here - and now.

It is God who gives us strength to face each day, who lifts our head and who personally goes before us. Consider all He is doing even now as you listen to this episode. As the Psalmist wrote, Why am I discouraged? I will put my hope in God.

Each sentence of this meditation is advice for staying the course, trusting God will lead us down pleasant paths to pleasant places. He know our future, He knows the best roads to take, He knows what is coming and He knows the experiences we need with Him to be prepared, to be trained and to be in a place where we will turn to Him first, not last when difficulties come. He patiently asks us to trust Him, to go with Him and live expectantly. We can talk with Him and He will listen and instruct. It is with Him and in Him, that we live, and move and have our being.
