TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome, dear listeners, to the Daily Radio Bible. I’m your host, Hunter, and today is December 17th, 2024, day 352 in our journey through the Scriptures. As your faithful Bible reading coach, I join you every day to immerse ourselves in the transformative word of God. Today, we’ll dive into 2nd Peter chapters 1 through 3, wrapping up with John chapter 1. Through these passages, we’ll explore powerful themes of divine promises, the dangers of false prophets, and the revelation of Jesus as the Light of the world. So, settle in as we open our hearts and minds to the wisdom of the Scriptures, drawing closer to the God who is love. Let's begin this enriching journey together.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Make every effort to respond to his promises. By his divine power, god has given us everything we need for living a godly life. And because of his glory and excellence, he's given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. Because God fulfilled his promise to Abraham that Abraham would become the father of many nations, The peoples of the world would recognize and understand the fatherhood of God. They would see that they have been included, adopted into a relationship with the creator of all the world. Because of this promise and what Christ has done, we share in God's divine nature. That's something that will and should blow our minds.
Peter says that we share in God's divine nature, and Peter wants us to participate in that, to participate in what is, to acknowledge and see and live in the joy of what is, your inclusion into the life and love of God because God was true to his word. God did what he said he would do. He came and he rescued us and made us his own. So let's live in that, my friends. The triune god sent his son to come and rescue us, to awaken us to who we really are, to who he is, what he has done.
and who we really are. We are those that share in his divine nature. We are children of God made in the image of God. God has come to reveal this, to make this known, to let it become the thing that animates our lives, sets us free, and gives us joy. So let's do it. Let's do that. It's as we live in the reality of this amazing truth and good news, we will indeed escape the corruptions of this world. We will not give in to the lusts of the world, the sinfulness of our flesh. No. We will be walking in the spirit. That's the desire and 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.
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.
