Daily Inspiration, November 13th

“I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.” (Jeremiah 15: 20)

God’s presence never leaves us and His action is always that which saves us. God’s purpose is to see His own perfect Life and Love expressed. We are the evidence and celebration of the fact of God’s living goodness.

And we are always at one with Him, so God’s powerful tenderness is always right where we are, to save us, to rescue us from the wrong ideas, fears, and limits and to deliver us to our true home, our real state of knowing and being. This verse is not some cry out to God, a desperate reach for hope and escape from trouble. It is God’s own promise and guarantee vitally announced. It is Truth expressing its intention for us.

“I am with thee” says the Lord Himself, “and I am here to assure that you are kept safe, freed from the gloom and doom of mortal life. I am here to awake you out of the mesmerism of believing that you are alone, separate from divine Life and Love, and subject to material problems and mistakes and confusion. I am with you to make sure you make it safely home to Me, to the reality of your forever Oneness with perfect Life, infinite Truth, and the Love that unfailingly and right now loves you.”

Daily Inspiration, November 11th

“…the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.” (Psalms 2: 7)

Today is a new day, and you are new in it. God is today bringing you into being, conceiving you in His perfect and loving Mind, and sharing your beautiful being with the world.

Let God name you anew each day. Let Him remind you of who you are and why you are His beloved. God has called you son and daughter. He has loved you into Life and His creation is ever-appearing, so you are always being newly revealed in this day, in this moment, fresh and free and ready for Life.

We have been begotten in this day. Our identity is being announced; we are being baptized; we are emerging in this new hour as the expressed idea of God, the very offspring of His Love. Today is your birthday, for each day you are made new and christened with God’s kiss of approval. Each day your Father-Mother says to you, “This is my son; this is my daughter; this is my ideal, and my loved one. He is my image. She is just like me. I have blessed this precious little one with my name, my nature, and my Life.”

Daily Inspiration, November 6th

“My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.” (Psalms 119: 25)

We’ve all had those days and even those years. We’ve had those times when our identity felt absolutely attached to darkness, to sin, to limits, to sickness, to fears. We have felt we can’t get up out of the dirt, simply can’t lift ourselves from our doubts, discouragement, fear, and the shame for those feelings.

Our solution at those times is not in self-will. We don’t have the personal energy for that! The answer is in God’s will. It is in turning to our loving Father-Mother-Life and letting that infinite power “quicken” us—stimulate, revive, and breathe new life into us. God’s Word is an energizing force. He tells us the Truth of our real being, one that is not limited and mortal, nor a believer in such lies.

Leave that gloom in the dust and let yourself be washed clean by God’s daily grace. Turn to divine Life as the Psalmist did. Know that nothing about the dust is more compelling or powerful than the sunlight of Life and the fresh air of Soul’s new promises for each day. You are not stuck in mortal circumstances, earthbound and frightened. You are newborn in God’s Word about you today, ready to leave the old fears and old thinking in the dust and to take flight, with the currents of Love beneath your grateful wings.

Daily Inspiration, November 4th

“…ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.” (Luke 21: 17-19)

Stay faithful. Don’t lose patience or hope. You are safe in the midst of the enemy—that thought or intention that would oppose the highest sense of good, of God as Life and Love. Don’t give up and don’t be afraid.

Patience is your friend. It is agreeing to accept that natural trust you have for good, for the Truth, and remaining peaceful, confident. Even if there seems to be a resistance to what you are doing, an ignorance or hatred for your cause and for your pure intentions, you are supported and protected. The rightness of your heart is backed by the infinite power of Truth and Love.

Remaining patient doesn’t mean remaining passive and just suffering through. What it does mean is that we continually look to God anew each day for assurance, direction, inspiration. In this way, not only are we kept safe, but we progress, we prosper.  We not only endure, but we overcome and gain the real treasure. Each seeming attack against us and our good work is a stepping stone to a greater understanding and a deeper faith—the very things that give us dominion, peace, and a true victory that brings resolution and healing even to our persecuters.

Daily Inspiration, October 30th

“The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable.” (Science and Health, page 192)

If we want to be powerful, we have to be good. We can’t find strength and might and success when we are not embodying, fully embracing and exemplifying goodness. Evil is not power because it has no God in it, no Life in it, no Truth to it. It may appear to have presence and strength, but it is based on nothing real or substantial.

In proportion to your individual expression of good are you empowered. As we rid ourselves of those actions and qualities that don’t find a place in God—Who is omnipotent—we discover just that much more power, the very capacity that can continue to put evil in its place and cause us to win.

A you that is good and doing good is not foreign or to you. It is not some ideal that is out of your reach, or that comes and goes. God made you good. He created you so that what feels most right and real to you is goodness. Accept this potent Truth of your own being and don’t argue against yourself, against God and what He caused. Realize that you are good, and that you love being good, seeing good, doing good. Recognize that anything that doesn’t express God, His rightness and love, isn’t appealing or natural to you at all.

Be yourself. Be good. Win the day and bless the world while you are at it!

Daily Inspiration, October 28th

“And [God] said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” (Exodus 3: 5)

Do you realize where you are? Have you recognized the significance of this moment, this place, this sacred space in your life? Moses wasn’t the only one to stand on holy ground, in the presence of God’s mission and His promise.

You and I have a significant purpose to fulfill and to do so we may need to get a better sense of reverence about it. This doesn’t mean our calling is one which is daunting or fearful. What it does mean is that we must enter into each moment with a proper awe that God Himself is there, that His glorious goodness has prepared that moment for us and has readied us to walk forward into it.

We leave our shoes behind. We put off our material trappings, our limitations, our burdens, our disbelief, our excuses, and step into Life with purity and innocence. The holy ground is one that requires your humility, your most genuine self, your willingness, and your grateful awareness of God and His powerful goodness.

Know where you are and treat your life and your unique purpose with due respect. The place where you stand is holy because God is there, and because you are the glorious and perfect evidence of that fact!

Daily Inspiration, October 23rd

“You took over and set everything right; when I needed you, you were there, taking charge.” (Psalms 9: 4, Message Bible)

Sigh of relief. Peace and comfort felt. Heart full of gratitude. Prayers answered with wisdom. Our good life restored.

God’s powerful presence is at hand. His control is right, certain, and results in harmony. Release your worries, your sense of responsibility, your doubts and confusion, to your Father-Mother-God—the One Who knows exactly what you need, when you need it, and how to bring it to you, how to make it real and satisfying.

I love the Psalmist’s gratitude in this passage, his recognition of God’s ever-presence and omnipotence. He knew, as we can, that what we attempt on our own may feel hard, uncertain, burdensome, wearying, and flawed. And yet when God is in charge, when we consent to that natural arrangement, good things result. We see life set in order, our days proceeding productively, our peace of mind and body restored.

At those times when we don’t know what to do, when we are at a loss for what to think, know, or be, God is there to take over. He is always there. God’s active presence is already right where you are, seeing you clearly, loving you dearly, leading you home not by your own wits and energy, but by the perfect guidance, protection, and care that only our all-wise and all-loving God can give.

Daily Inspiration, October 21st

“We may well be perplexed at human fear;…but why should we stand aghast at nothingness?” (Science and Health, page 563)

Franklin Roosevelt said it well: “…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” He went on to call such fear “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”

Roosevelt knew, just as the author of Science and Health did many years earlier, that fear could be mesmerizing, perplexing, paralyzing, but also unjustified and without power against the awakened, advancing thought and action. Why stand aghast at limits and lies? Why give power and attention to that which is nothing against the real power of God—Life, Truth, Love?

We often tend to own our fears, to justify them, to hold to them and make them seem either reasonable or so attached to us that we are stuck with them. But fear is not real and it is not yours. The fear is as much a lie about your freedom as is the thing of which you may feel you are afraid. We were not given fear, but Love and the sound mind to know that.

Don’t let your fear of fear, your preoccupation with it, cause you to retreat from Life, from opportunity, from freedom. Franklin Roosevelt knew that the answer to a nation in trouble required action, unity, energy, and expectation. An attachment to fear would impede that purpose, be the death to hope and to a better life. The people responded to his message and rose to the task, just as we must do, daily. Fear is a daily death, but it is not yours, not powerful, not perplexing. It is nameless nothingness!

Daily Inspiration, October 16th

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9: 62)

Fitness for the kingdom of God is that mental readiness to enter in, to receive God’s new day and be brand new in it. Jesus reminded us often that entering into the kingdom of heaven—that heavenly state of being, that awareness of reality—required us to be like little children. That means consenting to be innocent, to be open, and to be humbly ready to give up the old for the new.

If we have made that conscious choice to cultivate our lives and cause them to truly prosper, we can’t keep looking over our shoulder and expect to do a good job or get where we are going. Your past is not a hindrance to your progress unless you let it be. Your fitness means you must be lean and clean. Let go of that baggage of what you believe damaged you yesterday, what mistakes you feel you made, the challenges mortal life has thrown your way. The kingdom of God, your most natural and comfortable and peaceful state of being right here and now, requires that you leave your so-called past behind.

You can’t live two lives. If you want to claim and feel your divine life, you can’t keep dwelling on your human one. Bless your past and let it go. Move forward and keep your eyes on the spiritual Truth that keeps beckoning you. Keep your focus on God and His daily new Life for you. Moving forward in this way, you will naturally walk out of those limits. You’ll get fit and trim through this productive activity. In addition, letting go of that unnecessary weight of the past, of matter, of disappointment, will have you experiencing a “you” that is freer, buoyant, childlike, energetic, happy, and a blessing to others as well!

Daily Inspiration, October 14th

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” (Matthew 5: 13)

Remember who you are. Recognize afresh each day your divine purpose and the Source of it. God has no apathy and no weariness. This perfect Truth of Life is always full of flavor, a precious commodity, one to be valued and utilized with joy and with love.

We are the salt of the earth. We are born to a calling to be the children of God and to share the good news with our very lives. We are here to live as ones that know what they have, that are grateful daily, and who bring goodness to the world rather than letting the world bring us down.

Wake up to your purpose. Realize that this true intention not only enriches the world, but that without you doing what you were made to do, you fail to know the blessing of being yourself. You in essence give up your true and vital identity for one that does not suit you at all. It feels wrong and uncomfortable, not fresh and invigorating.

Remember to receive God’s love for you anew each day. Let Him remind you of the quality of your being. Let Him reveal lovingly just why you are so needed to bring your perfect flavors to the earth and by doing so, to feel the peace, joy, and power that being true to God’s design and purpose must necessarily bring!
