It is God who gives us strength to face each day, who lifts our head and who personally goes before us. Consider all He is doing even now as you listen to this episode. As the Psalmist wrote, Why am I discouraged? I will put my hope in God.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Listen to the truths about God and His patience. The enemy of our souls, Satan, would have us believe the lie that God is not kind enough, or patient enought or loving enough. Each of us needs to know, to believe that our heavenly Father will not toss us aside, or tell us we're just no good, or remind us of our failures. That is not His way - the truth will always be - He has all the patience in the world - and so much more.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

There is only one voice that speaks on our behalf. It is God Himself, who took our judgement and set us free. He is the only who has the right to condemn us but He never will. He took our sin, our guilt on Himself. He will not come back and tell us how wrong we are, no - He wraps us up in goodness and holds us close to His heart continually.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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.

Every child learns what is right, how to live well through the careful and kind guidance from a parent or parent model in their life. The truth about our Father God is that He has the same purpose, models the perfect role as parent with us as well. As His children we are subject to His guidance, His leading, His discipline - "for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." God guides us, directing our steps so we will pattern our decisions by what He knows is best for our development and maturity.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

What is our purpose, and once we understand it, how do we stay in the center of what's best for us? Jude said it best, "carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ." Let us pursue our purpose, indeed. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

The truth about our Father God is that He has freed us from the lies that say we are not worthy of love, that we are not good enough, that we are failures, so don't try anymore. Regardless of your physical condition, your emotional state of mind, or what you have been told - the absolute truth is - in Jesus, you are free. Choose to believe the truth. God so loved you that He gave His only Son for your freedom. No longer are you a slave to this world. You are free indeed.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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 in these moments.

The second half of the Beautitudes takes us from understanding our inner world, to gaining a new perspective of our outer world - the ways in which we should also perceive others and what they do or don't do. Each point Jesus makes is to show us a better way to interact, a better way to live, and a better way to see who we are and our real purpose.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

As you listen to the first half of the Beatitudes, take time to take in the meaning of each concept Jesus presented. He talked about exasperation, of giving up and accepting who we are. He explained that what you feel or see as loss, was actually the entry point to gain, to recovery, and to peace. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

We don't often think of God in a position of validating us! Yet, that's what He desires to do. God's way of living is one of having a tender heart toward those less fortunate, and compassion for those who are lonely and forgotten. God doesn't ask for rule keepers. Instead, He looks for those who know love restores hope, covers shame and heals broken hearts.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Life defined. It is more than breathing air. It is believing God for who He is - Love - it's essence - the Source of it - the beginning and the end of it. Yet, life never ends. We are invited to enter Love and enter Life and be better people because we have done so. Listen carefully to what the Scriptures say about Life.

Living well seems to be a balance of finding our purpose and enjoying our days. One does not preclude the other, nor is one more important than the other. Living with moderation in all things, gives us balance and perspective. Ask God for His view, His perspective on how to live today as you listen to this meditation.

The end of this Psalm sounds like everyday life. We go from having a good time, from living in confidence to being attacked without mercy and feeling lost. Our conversations with God, follow our experiences – from thanks to please help! There's comfort in knowing we're not alone – especially when we feel down. God is still near, and yes, He hears us. Remember this – as our God of mercy, He hears, He cares and He answers.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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 actions, our words and our attitudes today.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

How do we balance our ability, desire and need to choose with letting God lead us? If we are tuned in to God's heart and if our desire is to do His will, we will be led into our destiny as He designed. The desires of our heart will align with His and we will find fulfillment, and purpose in our lives. He often cautions us to ‘wait' and ‘be still'. No matter where we are in our age, career or life stage – these words are sage advice.

Hope is a lifeline for our soul. Hope is the confident assurance, the expectancy of good coming when we've not yet seen it. Hope lays deep within us, keeping us from despair and looking for change, for a new day, for break in the clouds. Proverbs nails it – to walk in wisdom and discover our purpose – this gives us a living hope which guides our steps through life. As you listen today, see if the hope within you is sparked to life by these words of wisdom.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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 father, our keeper. In Him our identity is confirmed.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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 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 a healing of the soul. Burdens are lifted and hope is renewed. Trust God with your heart and your health. Freedom reigns in the lives of those who live honestly with God.

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 with His peace – which is beyond our understanding. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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 commitment to finish what we've started. In this case, it is to see our faith to its end. To finish our life here having done all we could do to be faithful to the one who loves us most. We are cheered by those whom God has chosen to walk with us - no, to run with us – along side as we depend on each other for encouragement and support.

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 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 we trust Him as well to lead and guide us where we are now. It is in His house we want to live, and with Him, always. He is with us and we are with Him, even though we don't yet see it fully. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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.

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 trust Him, to go with Him and live expectantly. We can talk with Him and He will listen and instruct. It is with Him and in Him, that we live, and move and have our being.

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 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 don't always see it fully – it is still true – because God cannot lie. Because God wants us to be with Him.

God is Love. Love is from Him and it is because of Him that we can love.

Billy Graham said, "The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us." As God's children, we will be guided, led and taught where to go and what to do. We will be equipped for the unexpected and we will teach others for how to live with expectancy. Grace says, "I will always love you. You can call Me and I will answer. You can look for Me in those dark and difficult times, and see that I never left your side."Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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 God. Come and listen to the truth about Elohiym, our great God above all gods.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

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.

Joy is a state of being. It is deeper than happiness, and more satisfying than laughter. It is the sigh of contentment and comfort, of realizing all the experiences of our lives add up to a purpose that God will weave into our story. Joy is the result of believing we have value, and what happens to us matters. Let these words remind you there is purpose and a plan for you – and God will be with you in this journey.
