TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome, dear ones, to the Daily Radio Bible. Today is December 14th, day 349 of our year-long journey through the scriptures. I’m your host, Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother, here to explore the transformative power of God’s word with you. Today’s readings take us through Hebrews chapters 12 and 13, and the single chapter of Jude. We'll reflect on discipline, perseverance in faith, love for one another, and the eternal hope we possess. We’ll also delve into powerful prayers and reminders of God’s faithful love. Let's embark on this enlightening journey together, seeking daily transformation through God's word. Join me, and let’s discover the richness of Scripture and the assurance of a hope-filled future. Let’s get started!
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
We're making our migration home. Through all the seasons of life, we used to live in a place where we had sandhill cranes that we could watch out our back window. Those cranes sometimes migrate all the way across the Bering Strait to Siberia, to their mating grounds, where it all began. When the winter begins, they'll make their journey back. These days in December are some of the longest nights and coldest days of the year. But starting December 21st, the days will slowly grow longer and the nights shorter.
These amazing cranes will begin to make their way home, drawn by an inexplicable call, some kind of life within them drawing them back. And so it is with us. You may be in a winter season where the nights are long and the days are too short, But don't forget that you are on a journey too, and that journey will lead all of us home. The writer of Hebrews wants to remind us all that the world is not our permanent home. He says this in verse 13-fifteen. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home. We are looking forward to a home yet to come.
Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name. So let's keep going forward, setting our focus and our heart on our permanent home. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that is the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer. Feel free to read along with these prayers in the show notes of today's podcast and meditate on these words that are being spoken over you, your family, and our world.
TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.
Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen
And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
