TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the February 14th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast. I'm your host, Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, here to guide and accompany you on a transformative journey through the Scriptures. Today marks day 45 of our journey as we aim to read through the entire Bible in a year, along with the New Testament twice. Our goal is not just the reading, but to encounter God's profound love, embodied in Jesus, as we delve into His Word.
In today's episode, we explore key passages from Leviticus 23 and 24, Psalm 24, and Acts 21. We'll delve into the significance of Israel's feasts, understand the deeper truths in trials, and witness the apostle Paul's resolve amidst adversity. Together, we'll seek God's presence, acknowledging our temporal trials and eternal hope. Additionally, we'll join in a time of prayer, lifting our hearts to seek divine guidance and strength each step of the way.
I'll also share reflections on finding beauty in every season, even amidst life's challenges, encouraging one another to appreciate the everyday mercies that surround us. Whether it’s a snowy walk or a cherished melody, we’re given numerous reasons to express gratitude. Let's embark on this day with open hearts, recognizing the abundant love that enfolds us. Join me as we move forward with joy, embracing each moment. Remember, above all, you are deeply loved.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
This life of faith requires two feet to walk. We live in this tension. On one hand, we go through things and we want to be healed and delivered. We want things to work out, and at times, God is delighted to do just that—to provide, to heal, to deliver. So one step of faith is asking for and seeking these things from God. But with the other foot, the other step that we must take is to understand that this light and momentary affliction is working out for us something of eternal importance.
The life of faith often entails learning to walk amidst those two very real tensions where we hold firm to the promise that God is indeed our healer, our deliverer, redeemer. He will indeed do all that he has promised. And yet at the same time, there very well may be something that He wants to teach us through it. Maybe He will choose to heal you today, and maybe He won't. But we also know that we will indeed be healed. All of creation will be restored in Him, and that day is coming.
In the meantime, whatever the affliction that you're suffering through, it is momentary. And in the scales of eternity, Paul says they are light. It may not feel like that right here and right now, but faith in God's goodness helps us to see beyond the right here and the right now. And faith is an invitation to enter into the presence of God. His healing, His deliverance, His redemption isn't just designated for some distant time. We can begin to experience those things in part even today. God has something he wants to teach us all, and we need to trust Him and walk with Him through all that life brings us.
He'll prove himself strong in our weakness. He will be your comforter and your strength. Walk this way of faith with both feet and trust Him each step of the way. 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's 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.
