Daylight Meditations

Our challenge in this life is to let our spirit in Jesus, be the lens through which we view life and other people. Life and light extend way beyond the physical realm of our senses. Paul wisely advises,  to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Enter this time of quiet with confidence there's more than we see a...

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.

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

Once in a while we need reminding that there's more! More life. More that exists beyond our ability to see it. There's more to us than our bodies. There's more for us to experience after time ends. Father, open our eyes to this More, that we will know more about who we are and why You desire we see how life today is only the beginning of our experience with You. Open our hearts to see we are alrea...

James tells us, . . . faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead ( James 2:17 ). And he goes on to explain that we can say we have faith all day long but the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. If we do have real faith, it will play out in our actions. We can believe a chair will hold us up and then the resulting action of that faith will be that we actually sit in the chair. W...

We are asked to trust Jesus' words that sustaining Life is Him. In Him. By Him. Because of Him. Do we trust Him? On the tree of death He gave His physical life. As the source of all life, the Tree of Life, we are invited to eat and be filled. Let us delight ourselves in Him, in His presence with us, in the eternal life we have even now.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North...

As you listen today, look for thankfulness. It is a key to finding peace in storms, to winning the war of doubt and the anxiety. It is advice for those of us who are weary of the war within and without. The Holy Spirit will bring to mind those things that matter most - for which we are grateful and blessed.

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?

In thanking God for life, we acknowledge Him as One who is greater than us, whose compassion and forgiveness produces a song that we can't help but sing. We are pulled from the brink of death into a field of light, walking with God.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

God has given us His peace, His righteousness and has reconnected us to Him. His intention is for there to never be a separation or break in our relationship. And it is so. He keeps this relationship. We experience by our choice to do so – every moment. Think about this as you listen today. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to le...

God loves songs of joy--songs of victory, songs of triumph, songs inspired by His very presence and power and seeing His wonders. God desires good for His children. He wants to fill the whole universe, all His creation with good, with joy and gladness, with peace and victory, with love and life. This is God's joy. You are God's joy.  Let Him replace your worries, your fears, your cares with a...

What we think about we become. Where we put our attention, what we dwell on in our thoughts guides our actions and decisions. May we remember the power of words, the strength of consistent intentions and the importance of right choices.

As you listen to this meditation, prayerfully consider and ask God: What do You want me to know about darkness and light in my life, in the life of the communities/groups I engage with, and in the world? Is there anything that I need to let go of and release to You? What do You want to give me to replace what I have released? Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Pl...

The scriptures say it so well, “For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.” If we focus our thoughts, asking God’s Spirit to fill our minds, guide our thoughts, we will live in peace, no matter our circumstances. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more a...

In the quiet of this meditation time, let these words bring the truth of God’s heart for us into our minds, reminding us to be as merciful and kind to others as He is toward us. Mercy dispels fear and kindness soothes the soul. May we overflow with acts of compassion for others today.

There are people we admire. They face the difficult situations in their lives with a sense of purpose, yet are pliable to God’s greater purpose. They have an outlook of hope when we doubt and they show us how to live with God’s faith. Doing the right thing at the right time is wisdom learned, and wisdom applied. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFO...

God wants us to know Him. Believing He is good, takes our trust to a new level. A Father whose character of pure love and goodness, is a Father we can love and trust. As Paul wrote, “we pray that by his power all the pleasures of goodness and all works inspired by faith would fill you completely.” Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.or...

Our attitudes direct our thoughts which direct our actions. When we think about how God cares for us, that He takes care of us, we are able to change our attitudes and actions. As you listen today, let God’s care for you be the focus of your thoughts and you will find a gentle and growing strength in you for the day. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visi...

The wisdom of the Psalm 37 captures the essence of understanding the relationship of trusting God and living our purpose: "Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way, you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!" It is only in letting go of what you want that you receive the direction, wisdom and strength to fulfill your purpose. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast f...

Lord, keep us from bitterness. Others seem to have fewer problems, more money and fewer problems. We envy the ease of their lives and resent the weight of our problems. We have judged them and doing so, have turned the judgement on ourselves. Forgive us, Father. We will let go of the lies that tell us we're losing what we do not yet have and that You don't care. We will trust in only You. Daylight...

In his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote, Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real. Controlling our thoughts is key to our perception of God's kingdom. We don't control its existence, only our experience of it. Focusing on what is true, what is real, what is authentic positions us to see, really see God at work in a world that sees only the physical realm. There i...

Envy is a comparison of ourselves with others. It is destructive and divisive, poisoning our soul as we believe we deserve what others have. So many of our heartaches are rooted in ourselves and our needs. Choosing to trust God with the details of our desires, results in the most excellent outcome.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAme...

So what comes to mind when you try to think about 'what is authentic and true'? Someone's word, their promise? We constantly assess the truth of another's statement. Do we transfer those questions of whether the words are true to God as well? Perhaps we need to look closely at His promises and trust He indeed does speak truth in love. Always.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO...

Throughout the Scriptures we see reminders of the value of living life well. The sage advice cautions that life is short, yet the perspective is that there is more! God speaks to us through these pages, reminding us as well, that how we live here matters - now. Our purpose, our spirits are eternal and we're made for more than we see at the moment.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from...
