Daylight Meditations

In the beginning. When we hear that phrase we immediately think of the creation of the world. Our perspective is from our point in time. In the beginning was a long, long time ago. Yet, God was before time started. And Jesus was and still is the Living Expression of Father God. Time and eternity. Jesus, God joining us in Time, and Jesus, existing as God, Creator, before Time. All that was made was...

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 diminishe...

Jesus said He came into the world as a light. John described Jesus as the light of life. And Jesus told us that even we are the light of the world, if He is in us. What is this connection? How can we bear the Light of Life? Do we consider the weight of this glory in us? Might we stop ourselves from conjecture, and assumptions and let Jesus show us, shine His light on us and reveal the doubts and d...

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.

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 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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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 - a...

For many of us, we know 'home' is a place of safety and shelter.

Each sentence of this meditation is advice for staying the course, trusting God will lead us down pleasant paths to pleasant places.

He patiently asks us to tru...

It has always been God's desire to dwell with us. This is fulfilled through our faith in Jesus as our Savior. He has bridged the distance between heaven and earth, by giving us His Holy Spirit for guidance and correction. We trust Him and what He said, as recording in the Scriptures as well as what He says to us every day through His Spirit in us. He is with us and we are with Him, even though we...

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.

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...

The scriptures remind us when we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. God drenches us in His love and gives us the capacity to love others the same way. Living well, is letting go of a temporary role to gain a far greater identity - one who loves like Jesus. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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...

To become who we were born to be, begins when we believe who Jesus is. Our spirit is born and we become new creatures. It then becomes our deepest desire to learn about our identity, our purpose and our destiny. Today's meditation reminds us why we yearn to know more about God, to know God, and therein learn who we really are. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please...
