TODAY'S EPISODE:

Dear Daily Radio Bible Community,

In today's devotional, Hunter Barnes shared an affirming message from the book of Acts, reminding us not to be afraid, but to speak out and trust in God's plan. He highlighted the example of Paul receiving a vision to reinforce the simple yet powerful message of proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah. Sometimes, we too need a clearer vision of Christ to embolden us in our faith journey.

Heather emphasized the importance of not succumbing to fear, but rather, trusting in God's ongoing work in people's lives even before we speak a word. Whether we are struggling with fear, disappointment, or pain, his words encouraged us to resist the temptation of silence and isolation. Instead, he urged us to walk in faith and trust, knowing that the Spirit of God is at work, bringing life, hope, and freedom.

Drawing on the imagery of God's spirit being like a wind blowing across lives and circumstances, Heather invited us to join in walking in the spirit with faith and trust. He reminded us that where the spirit of God is, there is freedom - freedom from fear and isolation. Finally, Heather shared the poignant stanzas of a hymn, encapsulating the theme of embracing the winds of God's guidance and sailing through life's challenges with Christ as our pilot.

As we reflect on today's devotional, let us remember to lift our sails in faith, trusting in God's plan and walking in the freedom that comes from His spirit. May the winds of God's guidance lead us into a life of faith and freedom, away from fear and towards a brighter journey in His love.

We hope that today's devotional has uplifted and inspired you. Stay tuned for more enriching content on the Daily Radio Bible in the days to come.

Blessings,

Hunter & Heather

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.
