Daylight Meditations

Today we consider God as Elohiym, a God of power and might. In the book of John, we learn ‘Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.’ Such a singular and complete statement. All that exists was made by God. Light, life, love, our world, and the universe. In His was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. Light is life - the essence of us and of Go...

In Part 2, of this meditation on God's kingdom, we are reminded that His kingdom is not visible or subject to this world's dynamics of power. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. So,where are we experiencing and living in God’s kingdom? How can we experience and live in God’s Kingdom more? Perhaps, our perception of...

When we have pure hearts, we can see truth, life and love. It is God's desire that our choices are for the goodness of others, to store up love that will flow like a river from our lips, refreshing our families, our friends and whomever we meet. All are thirsty. Everyone needs to be loved, to belong, to know they matter – to someone. God, would you open our hearts to love as You do? Daylight Medit...

As we consider the familiar phrases of prayer for God's kingdom to come, let's consider as well, what it means to serve a King. What should our posture toward Him be, and are we truly aligned with His purposes for His kingdom? Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

We can only imagine what a garment of praise might look like! Is it glowing, does it move with the music, with our hearts of joy? We're told we are clothed with salvation, praise, mercy, and righeousness. Covered with perfection. That's what our Father sees. Do we see each other that way?

In Deuteronomy chapter 6 we read: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD your God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” The Oneness found here is more than just one being; it has to do with a unity of thought, of purpose, and of desire. It is an agreement of thought and action. The Lord invites us to come into agreement with Him, to spe...

We often think of joy being something we need to generate, something we are suppose to ‘be’. The scriptures offer another perspective – it is God’s joy that wraps around us. It is God’s joy in our trust in Him that allows us to ‘be’ in His joy. That our joy may be full. Romans 12:12 urges us to ‘commune with God at all times’. Paul told us to rejoice in all things. There is a connection between tr...

This prayer echoes our heart. Be there for me; direct me; reveal the way… it’s a common cry from human beings to God. We are wise when we call to God before we face our crossroads – should we take the path to the left or to the right? What does God know that we don’t? Everything! Real wisdom is acknowledging our inability to see the future and choosing to ask the One who does. His love for us is d...

We look at the universe and wonder how was this done?! Was there a plan? How might we see it or even understand it? We explore space and examine the creation and death of stars. In Psalms we read God spoke and worlds were created. His words created and break kingdoms. His power and His love are seen in His words.

The theme for today’s meditation is Always Safe, based on selections from Psalm chapter 91 and John chapter 14. We are God's children. As we finish our time considering our home with Him and what that looks like, He reminds us of the safety we have in His presence. We are not to fear the darkness, the beasts or disease. We are to cling to Him, to call to Him, to trust Him. He is our protector, our...

There are few in our lives that we will trust with our hearts. There are few people in our lives whose word we trust as well. It is important that we realize God can be trusted – with our desires, our concerns, our hopes and our fears. He keeps His word to us – that we are loved far greater than we can imagine, that He will protect us and has good plans for us. He will guide us and surround us wit...

The theme for Today’s meditation is Confession based selections from Jeremiah chapter 14; Psalms chapters 32 and 66; 1 John chapter 1; Proverbs chapter 28; Matthew chapter 12; Hosea chapter 14; and Romans chapter 6. Guilt and confession. There’s a line between them. Pull on one, and you affect the other. In God’s economy of the heart, this is the key: admit the wrong and receive forgiveness. It is...

God's thoughts about each of us are more than the sand on the earth. Knowing these thoughts focus on His love for us, we can trust Him to take care of us. We can keep company with Him, be open with Him and know that He will never stop doing good in our lives. We can, indeed, trust Him with all that we have, all that we are, all that we have yet to experience. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcas...

The theme for Today’s meditation is Running the Race based selections from Galatians chapter 5; Amos chapter 5; 2 Timothy chapters 2 and 4; Hebrews chapter 12; Romans chapter 5; Proverbs chapter 18; 1 Corinthians chapter 9; Philippians chapters 2 and 3; and Isaiah chapter 40. Throughout Scriptures we are encouraged to run with endurance. Endurance comes from practice, from training and from a comm...

Today's meditation is based on selected scriptures from Romans 8. Who are we? Our identity is found in God, as a member of His family, as His child, given the rights of heirs and entrusted with an inheritance. His Spirit in us gives us a sense of belonging.

It has always been God's desire to dwell with us and this desire is fulfilled through our belief that Jesus is our Savior. He has bridged the gulf between heaven and earth, coming to us through His Holy Spirit placed in us and through His resurrection, in which we have already risen with Him, from the perspective of eternity. We are encouraged to trust that Jesus is indeed coming back for us while...

God's witnesses lay in His creation. From space and the stars to the sound of a voice, His words are heard and all that exits is because His said so. As you listen to today's meditation, think about the life you have because God has written and spoken life into and about you. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

How amazing that God, who reigns in Heaven, a high and holy place, also resides with us, and in turn we with Him. In Christ, we have the privilege of containing the Spirit of God. Father, we are humbled by Your presence with and in us. Would You make us instruments of peace in this world? Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more...

Sometimes our perspective clouds the reality of God's nearness. We reach out toward heaven searching for God. Only when we've surrendered what we believe is dear, do we find He was always close by. When I was in deep distress, I reached out for you with hands stretched out to heaven. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

We have a chosen destiny. Known by God before we were born, His plans for us are for our good, His gifts are perfect and no need will go unmet. Steep you life in the reality of God and His great ways, higher than ours, way greater than we can imagine. Trust in His love for you. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

For many of us, we know 'home' is a place of safety and shelter. 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, even now. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and on...

This meditation is with the eternal Truth about God's character - He is Good. Love does what is right and good for those it loves. We are the object of His affections, people for whom He wants to be with and to whom He desires to give gifts. Rich in mercy, He see us worth dying for, worth caring for, worth loving deeply.

When Christ was raised from the dead, we were raised with Him. (Col. 3:3) Living from a resurrected pespective means viewing our lives from God's priorities.

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 tru...
