TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast on this 27th day of January. It's Day 27 of our journey through the scriptures, where we aim to do more than simply read the Bible in a year; our true desire is to experience the transformative love and life of Jesus. Today, we'll be exploring Exodus chapters 17 through 20 and Acts chapter 3. We'll delve into the Israelites' journey, Moses' leadership, the Ten Commandments, and the miraculous healing of a lame man by Peter and John. Join us as we uncover the deeper truths and applications of these passages. We are so glad you're here. Let's dive in!
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
He sees us and makes us upright. As Peter and John were heading through the gates called Beautiful, they encountered a man who had been lame from birth. This man wasn’t just looking for charity; he was desperately searching for someone to truly see him. And Peter and John, following the example of Jesus, chose to see him. They looked beyond his immediate plea for money, beyond the exterior desperation, and into the man's deeper need.
Peter's words, "Look at us," carried much more than the promise of alms. They were an invitation to be recognized and valued. Peter saw the deeper truth of this man's need, not just for alms, but for restoration. Peter didn't offer silver or gold, but something far greater - a declaration of the transformative power of Christ.
Peter's compassion was not manipulated; it was stirred by the Spirit to bring healing. When Peter said, "In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk," it was a profound statement of what Jesus offers to each of us. The man’s physical healing pointed to a deeper reality, the need for every human soul to walk upright before God.
The gospel is not merely transactional; it’s a declaration of our identity in Christ. We are not beggars, not castoffs, but children of God included in His covenant promises. When Peter reached out his hand, it was a gesture of the gospel’s power to restore, to raise us up to walk as people reconciled to God.
In the same way, Jesus sees us, and through Him, we are made whole. Though we may feel like beggars at times, seeking scraps of compassion, Jesus offers us life in abundance, calling us to stand upright as His beloved children.
Allow Jesus to look into your life today, to take you by the hand, and lift you up to walk with confidence as a redeemed and cherished child of God. That’s the essence of His love for us, the profound truth of the gospel.
That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and my son. And that's a 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.
