One Year Bible: January 19th, 24: Harvesting Blessings: Recognizing the Opportunity in the King's Gifts

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you.

TODAY'S EPISODE:

Today's April 21st devotional, Heather, explores a profound question that has echoed through the ages: "Is God willing?" Drawing from Biblical accounts, like that of the leper and the Roman officer, Heather addresses the human longing to know if God is willing to bridge the gap, to reach out with compassion, and touch us in our moments of brokenness and make us clean.

Heather challenges the pervasive lie sold by religion that suggests God is separate due to our uncleanliness and unworthiness. Instead, she brings to light the Gospel's message, which directly contradicts this notion of separation. Jesus's response, "I am willing," dispels the myth, showing that God is not only willing but already present with us in our struggles and imperfections.

As we listen to today’s episode, Heather shares her prayerful hope to embrace the gospel of union with God in Christ, to root out the falsehoods of separation, and to accept the freeing, cleansing compassion of God’s presence. Heather extends this prayer to her family and to all of us, inviting us to revel in the good news: God is with us, God is willing, and God is compassionate. Join us in this touching reminder of divine closeness on the 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.
