TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to another episode of Daily Radio Bible with your host, Hunter! I'm thrilled you're joining us today as we dive deep into the Scriptures. Today’s journey takes us through Genesis chapters 42 and 43, Psalm 5, and Luke chapter 17. We'll witness Joseph's emotional encounter with his brothers in Egypt, reflect on David’s heartfelt prayers in the Psalms, and explore the teachings and miracles of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. Along the way, we'll seek not just to read the words but to encounter the One who is life itself—Jesus. Stick around for powerful prayers, thoughtful reflections, and, of course, the transformative Word of God. Let's embark on this journey together!
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
For most of the people in this story, life moves on, business as usual. Even in the midst of their problems, their leprosy, their uncleanness, as they tend their flocks or grind their flour, punch their clocks as it were, it's business as usual. And that's what life is like for many of us now. Life for most moves on, business as usual. Shakespeare alludes to this in his play Macbeth.
He writes, "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesteryears have lighted fools, the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing."
It's just business as usual. We are blinded, and we fail to see what's right in front of us. The invitation for us is to see him, the one who's present with us, and break free from the blinding business of this life that leads to nothing but more of the same.
To see him so that we can see things differently. To see something you didn't see yesterday. The kingdom of God breaking through. And that's not going to be found strutting and fretting this hour upon the stage the way that we do. But it can be found where the one leper found it, at the feet of Jesus. He, the king, is standing among us. He is Jesus. He's the one who has broken into this world and into your world, and he's cleansed you like he did the leper, and he's made you new.
But are you ready to see him? Are you ready to be like that one leper and come to the one who is with us now? The one who has cleansed you now. The one who offers you his kingdom life now. The prayer of my own heart today is that I will come, that we will come. We'll come to the one who has invited us to live with him, the king, in his kingdom right now. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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.
