TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to another episode of Daily Radio Bible. Today is March 7th, 2025, and this is day 66 of our journey through the bible. I'm your host, Hunter, joining you as your bible reading coach and spiritual companion. Today, we're diving into the rich scriptures found in Deuteronomy chapters 5 and 6, Psalm 43, and Mark 14. Together, we'll explore the decrees and regulations given to Israel as they prepared to enter the promised land, the heartfelt cries of Psalm 43, and the poignant events in the life of Jesus leading up to his betrayal. Through these readings, we'll uncover themes of faith, obedience, and the transformative power of self-giving love. Let's reflect, pray, and journey together as we draw closer to God and His word. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and join us for this meaningful time in the scriptures and prayer.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
There's something that Peter, Judas, and all the disciples, even you and I, have in common: betrayal. Despite all our best intentions, despite all our resolve, we have betrayed him with our lips, our words, our feet with a kiss. We are all guilty of falling away. Isaiah says all of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We've all left God's path to follow our own. All of us have been deceived by a lie and separated ourselves from the source of our life. We've lived lives separating ourselves from God. We've all bitten into that deceitful fruit that makes us betray our God, ourselves, and others.
So Jesus takes the cup. That's going to mean bitter suffering and death for him. It's a cup of his blood shed for you, for me, for the whole world. And Jesus offers himself in self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love for all. In his death, he defeats death and draws us into his resurrection life. He drank the cup of suffering and hands us a cup of life, that we might participate with him in his self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. Having freely received, now we are invited to freely give and to join him in sharing his life with this world.
So let's do that. Let us learn the ways of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. 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.
