Daylight Meditations

This Psalm reminds us of how often King David poured out his heart to the Lord whom he loved and trusted. Consider this meditation as a very personal prayer and come before the Lord in great honesty, knowing that God will answer and embrace you in His arms of love.

Even in the midst of trouble, God is still faithful and compassionate! David also spoke of God's faithfulness in the night season. The Bible speaks of His great mercy, of how He is rich in mercy. When we are hopeless and helpless, He pours out His mercy on us, through His Son Jesus Christ. Today's meditation was originally broadcast on July 30, 2020.

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.

To be with someone is often the most desired thing. To belong, to rest in the knowledge another accepts us, is happy to be with us. Our Father is like that. He loves to be with us, to protect us, and He wants us to always come home to Him, where we belong.

God is personal wanting us to understand that His love as a Father and friend means nearness, endearment and personal interest in our concerns. The scriptures tell us to pour out our concerns, to share the details, because in doing so, we will sense He heard us, and He cares.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more...

We are accepted as we are. We are not ignored or cast aside as 'not good enough'. We only need to believe it. We belong and our Father is delighted to see us - all of the time. Run to Him and see for yourself! Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

There is perhaps only one way to live in a place of inner peace. We try to conjure it will silence and solitude. God says it is His peace that transcends all understanding. It is beyond comprehension, yet it exists in the relationship we have with Jesus. Our surrender is to Him, not to nothingness. It is by keeping our thoughts on what is true and real, on trust in Him that we find rest and a peac...

God has given us all we need to live under His protection: faith, truth, salvation, His very word and His Spirit. We are well equipped to stand firm on this earth, pushing back the darkness in the protection and power of His Name.

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 righteousness. Covered with perfection. That's what our Father sees. Do we see each other that way?   Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org...

Consider the words you hear that describe the love our Heavenly Father has for us in this meditation. We are deeply loved and cherished, children of the Most High God. What an honor it is to be thought of this way. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

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. Today's meditation was originally broadcast on July 1, 2020. Daylight Meditations is a daily po...

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. All need to be loved as Jesus loves us. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmeric...

How often do we stop to think about who we are? God wants us to know that He made us, purposed us to live here and now. The Psalmist says it well, "You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something." May we embrace our Father who loves us in the everlasting realm of always. We have been and will be His dearly beloved children.  Today's meditation was...

There's an interesting scripture within today's meditation. As we consider what it means to be holy, we are continually reminded that we ARE because God has united with Christ (past tense) who IS holy (present tense). Colossians 3:12 reminds us  since God chose you to be holy people, we must clothe ourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. What beautifu...

Take a moment to consider what it means to have the Spirit of God dwell with us, in us! It is an immense concept and truth. Our belief in Jesus as God's Son, God's deposit of His Spirit in us to protect and seal us as His own, creates a bond, a preservation of holiness within us and with Him. May we honor our relationship with God's grace and love toward us.  Daylight Meditations is a daily p...

Being honest with ourselves is the first step to being vulnerable with God. It is knowing we need Him that frees us to begin to trust Him with examining our souls. We are fragile, made of earth, easily broken and not easily fixed. We ask Him to take a look, wondering if this particular break is beyond His care, His abilities. He knows we are small and unsure. Yet our trust, opens our hearts to the...

God will always hear our cry, and pull us out of the slimy pit of condemnation in which we're stuck. It is our hope in Him that pleases Him. He cares for us and His goodness will come. We are to be patient and trust in Him. He does not operate in time but in the outcome of maturing us to be who He knows we are. We don't see it. We trust that whatever we are struggling with, will resolve in His tim...

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...

Today we see God as Elohiym, the Three-in-One God, 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. Light is life - the essence of us and of God. Come and listen to the truth about God.

The glory of God is displayed in the heavens, in the humility of Jesus to be a man and in the forever life we even now can live. Life, light and love are more than what we think or see or feel. They are the eternal presence of the everlasting, never-ending, all powerful, always present God of the Universe.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFO...

When we love, we act and react differently than when we do not love. Love prompted Jesus to be a baby. Love is patient. Jesus was 1 year  old, 3 years old and 10 years old. Jesus learned to eat, to talk, he laughed and he cried. Love chose love. Love chose the long way that winds through the hills and valleys of our hearts. Love says it's worth it. Stay the course. Don't quit. Love doesn't se...

As you listen to this  meditation, let God take your burdens for a while. It's easy for us to feel our concerns, our schedules, our problems are for us to solve, to fix, to make right. We look at the scriptures that tell us we are conquerors and mighty and wonder why we're tired and feeling weak. We miss the single truth that it is in Christ, through Christ and with Christ that we are strong....

In today's meditation we focus on being chosen by God to be His children, to inherit His kingdom, to be sealed with the promise of an eternal future with Him. Listen with your spirit to the the words that declare the richness of this relationship we have with God. Today's meditation was originally broadcast on July 29, 2020.

This meditation continues with Psalms 19, bridging the distance of the universe to our souls. It points to God's attention and intent of perfection is the same for us as it is for the placement of the sun, moon and stars. What is man, God, that you pay such close attention to us?  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn m...
