Daylight Meditations

Our position as God's children is established in Jesus by trusting what He has said is true. His power of love frees us from spiritual darkness and opens our eyes to the reality of belonging to God, of being His children and of entering His kingdom now. It is the same power by which He raised Jesus from the dead. That power has raised us up also. Listen to what is God saying in this meditation abo...

Jesus held no distinction between people. His friends were not determined by their wealth or interests. He accepted people as they were, giving them dignity and hope. Most of us know 'who we are'. We're aware of our inability to live to expectations and find ourselves disappointed within and with others. Jesus understood the struggles and respected and loved in a way that made people feel worthy a...

Our story begins with God. He has always been. There has never been a time when He didn't exist. Everything was made by Him and finds its purpose in Him, especially us. Before we were born, God has designs for us, a destiny that displays His kindness and grace, the power of life in love. Let these truths sink into your heart and mind as you listen today. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast fro...

We never grow tired of belonging, of being someone's child. The greatest honor is to be God's child, one who 'looks like' his or her father, one who knows they can go home and enjoy the truth of belonging. Only when we know our Father is near by can we relax and enjoy our place of rest. Let this time of listening, remind you that you are home, no matter where you are. Daylight Meditations is a dai...

In the beginning, God set many things into effect. In His creating, He did not just make provision for one day, but put various laws into motion to carry on the "creating" from day to day. If we want a good return in/for our lives, the first thing to do is to sow good seeds. And what are those good seeds? In Luke's gospel, chapter 8, Jesus tells the parable of the sower. "This i...

Faith, confidence, God's blessings and work within us is that we will become more like Jesus. Much of that is accomplished through our confidence in God's strength to accomplish His will through us, our hope and desire live lives worthy of His name and purpose and to trust He will complete it perfectly.

Jesus overcame the world, and He helps us overcome our by living in His peace, because we have the Holy Spirit of peace. Our troubles are not light nor do they seem momentary, but it is our perspective that must be adjusted. Only in light of eternity, with the view of God’s presence and our hope for an eternal future will it all look different. If we will look beyond the physical world we live in...

God is Love. Love is from Him and it is because of Him that we can love. Yet, as deep as our love may be for others, His love for us is even more powerful, so that nothing and no one can separate us from Him. Not even ourselves. His love is even, unwavering, without interruption. As you listen today, let Him love you and show you why He loves you so much. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast fr...

Today's meditation will help us stand taller as we are reminded of the true reality of where we belong and to whom we belong. The Message translates Paul's letter to the Colossians with this amazing picture of our purpose – that of being kept taut because we are tied tightly by hope of our future in heaven. Our destination is home with our Father God. We can be confident in this and in Him. Daylig...

We can live with confidence that as God's child, God's will for our life is established. We don't know the outcome of today, or what will happen to us tomorrow, but our trust in God's care and love for us, assures us that not one moment is lost or wasted in the economy of His Kingdom, where we now exist, in Jesus.

To be born of God! How can we ignore the power and majesty of the presence of God in us? Jesus in us, God's Word that lives and breathes life within and through us. Close your eyes and see the kingdom of God within you as you listen. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses. If you are enco...

The amazing fact of being 'in Jesus' is that whatever happens in our lives, whatever we do, God has promised to work it toward His purpose for us. It means our best intentions, may fail, our hard work may not be enough - but God is. God takes eternal perspective on our everyday life and says, "this is good. I can work with this." It is the perspective of redemption, every day. Da...

Being 'in Christ' frees us to be who we were created to be, who God says we are - His children. We are protected, we are secure, we are sealed and we are forever free. Being with Jesus, God sees us complete and whole. Father, give us eyes to see this too. Let us see what you see, that our past is gone and that our future is already here - we are already with Jesus and with You. Daylight Meditation...

The spacious, free life is from God. It is more than a phsyical freedom. God has removed the chains of depression and dark thoughts opening our minds and freeing us to really live, no matter our circumstances. It is only our perception that keeps us bound now. See, really see what the Lord has done. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to...

Billy Graham said, "The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us." As God's children, we will be guided, led and taught where to go and what to do. We will be equipped for the unexpected and we will teach others for how to live with expectancy. Grace says, "I will always love you. You can call Me and I will answer. You can look for Me in those dark...

Praying takes many forms: giving thanks, cries for help, interceding for others, requests and as the last scripture in this meditative episode reveals – it is God’s song to us that is a prayer to Him. Imagine! Might we listen first and hear what He wants us to say to Him, who He wants us to talk with Him about, how He wants us to approach the day? Consider these things as you listen today. Dayligh...

In Proverbs we are encouraged to fill our thoughts with God's words until they penetrate deep into our spirit. As we unwrap His words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of our being. The result is living in the power of God's love which sees no record of wrong done to it.

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 u...

It is easy to look for the result and ignore or be impatient with the process. Such is true with being a branch in Jesus and waiting to 'bear fruit'. We point to love, joy and peace and the outcome, and they are. We try to be them, make it happen yet it is only by being connected to the trunk and root of the Vine, and allowing the flow of nutrients to the full extent of who we are that we particip...

Hope is a lifeline for our soul. Hope is the confident assurance, the expectancy of good coming when we’ve not yet seen it. Hope lays deep within us, keeping us from despair and looking for change, for a new day, for break in the clouds. Proverbs nails it – to walk in wisdom and discover our purpose – this gives us a living hope which guides our steps through life. As you listen today, see if the...

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...

There is a unique and powerful dynamic at work in God's kingdom. It appears to operate in tandem to our behavior and thoughts. If we forgive, we are forgiven. Conversely, if we don't forgive, neither are we forgiven. Our nature is to hold judgement over another, yet we then are judged. To reconcile is to bring freedom, to return the scale to a place of equilibrium. There's only one way - to let go...

We continue to explore the value of seeking God’s guidance in our lives. He is Truth, Life and Love. His character is such that He can not lie, He is eternal and He is the source of Love – His very nature. The gift of His Holy Spirit to us, placed in us, is priceless and always available, always listening. Are we? Take these moments as you listen, and listen for Him – it is His words we are hearin...

We are told Christ’s resurrection is our resurrection too. Wow! Might that we would embrace that truth and realize we are ""living letters written by Christ, not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God"". Let us believe this and know that we carry within the glory of the King of the universe. Let us bow and worship the Lord who trust us with Himself. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast fr...

Throughout history, God has entered the physical realm of earth and time to speak to us, to walk with us, and to guide us. When God entered our world as Jesus, He opened the door for us to enter eternity. From the moment we believe the truth of who Jesus is and trust Him, we are given a new role. Now we have access to God in eternity because His Spirit is with us in Time. Here we live, but there w...
