Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, our host Hunter, your Bible reading coach, guides us through Day 55 of our journey through the Bible.

We’ll also delve into the timeless lesson from Jesus on Sabbath and the significance of having a right relationship with the Bible.

So, with joyful hearts, let’s dive into today's readings and see how they speak into our lives!
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Jesus breaks through our expectations. In today's readings, we find moments where God's presence and actions challenge the status quo. In the book of Numbers, the people of Israel are tested in their faith and obedience. They stand at a crossroads of trust and rebellion. In Mark's Gospel, Jesus challenges the rigid interpretations of the law held by the Pharisees by performing a healing on the Sabbath. He demonstrates that God's law is not about oppression but liberation and life. God's desire is not that we become ensnared in the limitations of legalism, but that we are set free into a vibrant relationship with Him, a life characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit—the true essence of the Kingdom of God.
Jesus reveals the heart of God when he heals the man with the withered hand. He shows us that God's commandments are there to serve us, not the other way around. The Pharisees were trapped by their interpretation of scripture, missing the living Word standing in their midst. But Jesus calls us beyond the letter into the life-giving spirit, revealing that the ultimate purpose of scripture is to point us towards Him—God in flesh, full of grace and truth.
Our call today is to move beyond mere legalism and into a life marked by the Spirit's presence. We are invited to live in the freedom of Jesus' love, to embrace the fullness of life he offers, and to walk in a relationship of grace and truth. This is the abundant life, full of healing and redemption that God desires for each of us.
Let us open our hearts to the living Word, to Jesus Himself, who perfectly reveals the heart of the Father. May we continually pursue a deeper understanding of how He leads us through His Word, ever pointing us to Himself, our true rest and peace. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it's the prayer 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.
