TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast, where we dive deep into the stories and lessons of scripture to find strength and inspiration for our daily lives. Today's episode, titled "April 24th Devo," explores the poignant struggle of faith when facing seemingly inattentive circumstances. Our host, Hunter, invites us to walk alongside John the Baptist, who wrestles with doubt and confusion as he languishes in prison just before his execution. We'll ponder the challenging question – what do we do when it feels like God isn’t coming through for us?

In this gripping episode, Hunter shares how John seeks clarity from Jesus about his role and the coming of the Messiah, and how Jesus's response is both unconventional and profound – calling John to look beyond his prison walls to the greater works being done. Hunter guides us through a powerful message of hope, encouraging us to not let the confines of our immediate struggles limit our faith or understanding of God's work in our lives.

So join us as we reflect on the important lesson that God's inactivity may be a matter of our perception, and that true faith often requires us to trust beyond what we can see. It's a reminder that God has his eye on us, and is working all things out for his purposes. Stick around to the end, where Hunter offers a heartfelt prayer not just for himself, but for his family and for all of us – that we might all have our vision of God renewed. Let's find solace in the knowledge that He is with us, attentive and ever-present, on today's Daily Radio Bible podcast.

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.
