TODAY'S EPISODE:
Greetings Daily Radio Bible listeners!
In today's devotional, we heard Hunter speak about the transformation that comes from releasing our grip on control and self-reliance, and instead embracing a life of dependence and trust in God's presence. Hunter reminded us that God allows us to go through difficult experiences to break our grip and open our hands to His love and power.
In 2nd Corinthians, Paul describes how he learned to stop relying on himself and instead trust in God's power, even in the face of near-death experiences. He encourages us to look to the one who suffered with us and for us, Jesus Christ, who gives us hope beyond our suffering and even joy in the midst of it.
Hunter explained that God's love is a self-giving, radically forgiving, and co-suffering love. This love meets us at our deepest levels of pain, shame, and wounds, mending and healing us, and even allowing us to comfort others who are suffering.
So if you're facing suffering today and have a "death grip" on your circumstances, open up your hands to God's love. Experience His love today, and allow Him to begin the process of healing, mending, and making you new.
As we continue on our journey, let's remember that God is with us in our suffering, and His love is always there to comfort and renew us.
May you experience God's love and healing in a deeper way today.
Blessings
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.
