TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! Today is December 29th, and we're on day 364 of our journey through the scriptures. I'm Heather, and I'm thrilled to be with you this Sunday as we dive deep into the Word, not just to read it, but to encounter Jesus—the true source of life. We’re joined by fellow believers from around the globe, seeking the Holy Spirit’s illumination in our exploration of Revelation chapters 10 through 14. We'll hear of the mighty angel and the scroll, the two witnesses, the cosmic battle in heaven, and the visions of beasts and divine judgment. As we unfold the mysteries and symbolic visions, we'll reflect on the profound call to "eat the book"—to fully internalize God's living Word and let it guide our lives. Let's come together, warm our hearts around the fire of God's love, and find strength and direction in His timeless truth. Plus, stay tuned for prayers and announcements as we near the end of another year. So grab your Bible, and let's dive in!
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Eat this scroll. It will be sweet like honey, and it will be bitter in your stomach. This whole fantastical episode of visions begins with John being told to eat the book.
It's only after he eats the scroll, which is both sweet and bitter, that he is given access to the behind the scenes visions and machinations and happenings in the spiritual world. There are deep mysteries here that are yet unlocked. Many people spend their lifetime trying to decipher dates, times, and meanings of these words and visions. Yet their ultimate deciphering can only happen for those who eat the book. Eating the book is a precursor to understanding God's vision. And that's true for our own life. It's only as we abide in him and his word, as we eat the book, as we accept within ourselves the living word of God, that we are given a vision and direction for what God has for our life. God reveals to us what we need to know, when we need to know it.
Ours is to take the next vision that God has placed before us. Ours is to take the book, not words on a page, but the living word of God, and eat it. Ours is to stand back in awe and worship. This story that we read about and find ourselves in is going somewhere. It's not an endless cycle of the same thing over and over. No. God is culminating things. The angel says
Things are coming to a rapid conclusion. We can be sure that God is on the move, and we are to be on the move with Him, taking each step, His Spirit within us, according to his word each and every day. It is in living in communion with him, taking within you the living word, the food for your soul, that you will have what you need to walk out the vision that God has for your life. Eat his word. Receive from him visions, direction, courage, and hope to take that next step with him, living life in him. And now let's pray together
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.
