TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome back to Daily Radio Bible. In today's episode, our host Hunter delves into the significance of oil, not as the world knows it—a commodity that fuels economies, incites wars, and shapes our modern life—but as a symbol for something far greater. Hunter draws a profound contrast between the oil that governs the world and the oil that represents God's presence. He reminds us that while earthly oil cannot give us peace, hope, or love, God's anointing oil, derived from simple olives, signifies his transforming presence which brings about these very things.

Hunter reflects on the biblical account of Samuel anointing the young shepherd, David, seeing it as a foreshadowing of Jesus, the Anointed One. He underscores the narrative of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection and how this culminates in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all people. This divine 'oil'—God's presence within us—empowers us to be bearers of light in a dark world. Join us as we explore the extraordinary power of God's presence and how it offers a profound transformation that the world's oil could never achieve. Stay with us for a deep and enriching journey in today's devotion, right here on Daily Radio Bible.

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, they 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.
