Daylight Meditations

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.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

What is important to you today? What do you value? Does it consume your attention, is it the center of your life? Today’s meditation reminds us what a life with Christ is and should be. We are instructed to use our faith so Christ’s life can be released within us, so that His love rests in us and on us, becoming our center and source for living.

We are challenged throughout the Scriptures to be generous. We are encouraged to live from a heart that is not afraid of loss but is willing to love with an extravagance that cannot be quenched. Only in that way, will we experience the extravagant love that God has already given to us. Let us not be timid but bold in giving to others. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America....

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 t...

It’s interesting that one of the instructions we often hear is “to let peace rule”. The issue here is not so much that peace should rule, there’s no question about that! It is the instruction of letting it rule – of allowing it to control our thoughts and actions, our words and our attitude toward others. Father, may we allow You, the giver of perfect, unchanging peace truly rule our thoughts, our...

While listening to today's meditation consider these questions: Where do I see thanksgiving increasing, in my own life and the lives of others? How do I see my inner nature being renewed? Where would I like to see more renewal? Spend some time praising and thanking God for this eternal house in heaven that we have access to now and that awaits us.

Sometimes it is useful to listen to a well-known story or in this case, this beloved Psalm from a different perspective. The Passion Translation, a paraphrase of Scripture, invites us to consider our Security under God’s protective eye. As you listen, may you recognize in a fresh way, the extent to which God anticipates and meets our needs before we ourselves know them. We are protected, cared for...

Peace is from God. We try to generate it, duplicate it and think that by saying it, it happens. It is a spoken word originating from God and given to us. Words are life-giving, or life-taking. Accepting peace is an act of our will, and a posture of our heart through which life is reproduced in the fullness of God-likeness as we carry about the life of Jesus in us. Listen carefully and let the peac...

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...

God knows we wonder who He is, who we are, and how this all fits together. The scriptures reference ‘the created order’ of living things, the questions are asked about ranks and priorities to rulings and purpose. Engage God with your questions. He’s waiting for you.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our...

Every word God speaks is truth, life and holy. To speak truth is to speak life into another. To contemplate the truth is to integrate life into our being, letting it become us, that all that we speak is what the Holy Spirit has given us to speak – life and healing into the world that the world through Jesus’ life might know our Father’s love for each person.  Daylight Meditations is a daily p...

The truth of being free in Christ is explained in today’s meditation. It is sometimes hard for us to comprehend the reality of this as we tend to interpret freedom with movement and choices. The Scriptures speak of us being rescued from ‘the tyrannical rule of darkness’, and this rescue releases us from the chains of sin. Might we consider that this too, has freed us to move – to stretch high and...

We want God to hear us. He wants us to hear Him as well. Great conversations come from respecting and listening to each other. Loving God and being loved by Him is our experience, developed in trust and honesty. The Psalmist opens his heart, and is open to hearing God's heart for him as well. May we also spend time with God this way today. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North Ame...

Such amazing truths about death! Without God's love and gift of dying for us, we would never see life as He intended for us to see nor experience the life He died to give to us. The author of Hebrews says it clearly, "By embracing death Jesus sets free those who live their entire lives in bondage to the tormenting dread of death." Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. &nb...

One of the definitions for 'glory' is: magnificence or great beauty. Such is the description of God, and yet it falls short. We don't have words to describe the majesty, the immense beauty of God Almighty. Perhaps the Passion Translation of the Bible offers us a fresh glimpse of how we might view our Beloved Father" ..."may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn." Indeed. Day...
