Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where together we journey through Scripture and discover the treasures God has for us each day. In today’s episode, Host Hunter invites us into readings from Isaiah chapters 25 through 28 and Hebrews chapter 13, encouraging us to reflect on where we truly find lasting treasure. We’ll hear about God’s promises of hope in the midst of ruins, His faithfulness to the oppressed, and the remarkable gift of Jesus—who, as Hunter powerfully reminds us, was found “out in the trash heap,” discarded but offering the greatest treasure the world has ever known. Join us as we rest in God’s Word, pray together, and remember the deep truth that we are not alone—united as brothers and sisters, loved beyond measure, and called to share that love with the world. Let’s encounter perfect peace, real strength, and God’s unending grace, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: One man's trash is another man's treasure. I used to work as a garbage man for the city of Rockledge, Florida, and I can tell you that that's true. Some of the stuff that people threw away, I was sure to collect. It was still good. There was still a lot of life there. There was a treasure. And never has that been more true than in today's reading. We're told not to seek treasure in something new. The treasure we need is not found out there. Verse 9 says so. Do not be attracted by strange new ideas. Your strength comes from God's grace, not from rules about food which don't help those who follow them. Nor is our treasure to be found in the old. The old rules, the old sacrificial system. The treasures we are looking for can't be found there either. The treasure we are looking for, that we need, that the world is desperate for. The greatest treasure ever given is to be found in the most unlikely places. It's going to be found in the trash heap. In the old system, the sacrifice was made on an altar in the tabernacle, in the most important place in the world. There, the priest would offer a perfect gift, shedding the blood of an animal on the holy place as a sacrifice for sins. Then the trash, the discarded and unused parts would be taken to the trash heap outside the camp where it would be burned up. But outside, in that burning trash heap was something no one saw. It happened to be the most precious gift of all. It was discarded and thrown out like waste. And there's good reason why this sacrifice is being made exactly where it is, in that trash heap. Because the man offering this sacrifice lived his life among the discarded, among the disqualified, among the refuse and the refugees. It was there among them that he came to live and give his life. It was for them that he came to die in order that through his death, he might win for the world the greatest treasure the world has ever known. He has come to offer himself, his life, his presence to all, even the discarded and rejected. Out in the trash heap was a treasure. Verse 12 says: So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by means of his own blood. He suffered and died out in the trash heap to make his people holy by means of his blood. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, there in the landfill, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home. We are looking forward to a home yet to come. Let's continue to offer him praise because he offered us broken ones the greatest treasure ever found. One man's trash is another man's treasure. So let's hold tightly to the treasure of him and experience the transformation that is available to all out there in the trash heap. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home. Heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make ...

Today, on this 15th day of July and day 196 in our journey through the Scriptures, we’ll be delving into Isaiah chapters 22–24 and Hebrews chapter 12. Hunter guides us through powerful passages of prophetic warning and hope, exploring themes of God’s judgment, His restorative discipline, and the unshakable kingdom we receive through Christ. We’ll reflect on the fire of God’s love that doesn’t destroy, but rather renews and restores us from the inside out—a transformative presence that brings hope and healing. The episode wraps with heartfelt prayers, encouragement to walk in peace and mercy, and a reminder that you—yes, you—are deeply loved by God. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s journey together in the pages of God’s Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Our God is a consuming fire. That’s what we read in Hebrews today, and it’s a truth that can make us pause. What does it mean that God is a consuming fire? Are we to be afraid? Are we to draw back? In the scriptures today, we see that this fire is not one that destroys from the outside, not a fire of judgment that leaves us condemned and hopeless. Instead, it’s a fire that works on the inside—a fire that renews, restores, and heals. It forges and makes new. Just think of those two men on the road to Emmaus—when the resurrected Christ walked with them and explained the scriptures, their hearts “burned within them.” It wasn’t destruction they felt, but the fire of hope being restored, the fire of God’s love revealing Himself. And that is what this consuming fire is about. It’s love that loves unto purity, a love that cannot leave us as we are but burns away all that is not love, all that keeps us from knowing Him. It cauterizes, it heals, it cleanses, and it draws us closer to Him. Jesus, our champion, endured the fire of judgment for us, so that we might experience the restoring fire of His presence right now, right in the very core of who we are. So as we come to God’s word—each day, in every moment—may we be open to that inner fire, that gentle but powerful work of God, guiding us, correcting us, making us like Him. May we have hearts that burn with His presence, with His correction, with His love. Let’s invite Him to burn away everything that isn’t His love, to make us new from the inside out. That’s my prayer—for myself, for my family, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.

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: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 14th episode, host Hunter guides us through another step on our year-long journey through Scripture. Today, we reflect on the powerful prophecies found in Isaiah chapters 19-21, where nations rise and fall but God's grace and restoration shine through. We also turn to Hebrews 11—the famous “Hall of Faith”—where we’re reminded that, from Abel to Abraham to Moses, it is trust in God that marks those who belong to Him. Hunter offers gentle encouragement that living by faith has always been the way, even when circumstances seem uncertain. You’ll be invited to meditate on what it means to walk with God, hope in His promises, and find peace in the journey, with heartfelt prayers and a blessing to carry you through the day. Settle in, open your heart, and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How much more needs to be said? The writer of Hebrews asks us this question, and it echoes through the story of God’s people from the very beginning until now. From righteous Abel to Zechariah, and all the saints in between, it’s always been the same story: the righteous live by faith. That’s always been at the heart of God’s invitation, and it still is today. There’s no secret initiation or hidden knowledge required; it’s a simple, trusting faith that acknowledges there is a God—and now, as we see in Christ, that God has shown up in person. He has come into our brokenness to mend what is shattered, to make all things new. This is the “something better” that God had always planned—his presence with us, his saving work for us, and his continual companionship as we walk through life. Believing in Christ doesn’t mean everything will work out the way we want. Faith is not a formula for an easy road—but it is a promise that, in the end, it will work out, because God is with us every step of the way. It means that whatever comes, he is there to give hope and peace and real love. Through faith, we can experience change; we can, by his Spirit, begin to live the life he calls us to. What more do we need to hear? God is with us, and he is working all things together for our good, for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. So today, as the weak and the battered, the shattered and the broken, and yet the blessed, we go forward in faith—a faith in the God who has something better in mind, something that is so good it surpasses even our best hopes. May our focus today be set on that hope—looking to the horizon, setting our course on the goodness of God’s promise, and taking each step with him at our side. That’s my prayer for my own heart. It’s my prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is my prayer for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today, let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

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: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode for July 13th, 2025, Heather guides us through day 194 of our journey through the Scriptures. Together, listeners from around the world gather, not just to read words on a page, but to encounter Jesus—the source of our life—as revealed through today’s readings: Isaiah chapters 15 through 18 and Hebrews chapter 10. Heather explores the prophetic messages of Isaiah, reflecting on God’s justice, mercy, and the futility of relying on anything but Him. Then, in Hebrews, she unpacks the transformative power of Christ’s sacrifice, emphasizing the freedom we have from guilt and shame because of what Jesus has done once and for all. Plus, Heather leads us in heartfelt prayers, encouraging us to walk this day in the liberty and joy of a conscience made clean by Christ. Whether you’re new to the Bible or returning once again, you’ll find hope, encouragement, and the reminder that you are deeply loved. So, settle in—let’s open our hearts to God’s Word together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How is your conscience? Is it free? The author of Hebrews reminds us today that the old system—the law of Moses and its repeated sacrifices—could never provide perfect cleansing. All those offerings only served as reminders of guilt, not freedom from it. But Jesus came, saying, “Look, I have come to do your will, O God.” And by the sacrifice of his own body, once for all time, he made us holy—truly clean. The Christian life isn’t meant to be a weekly ritual of regret, a constant offering of shame over our past mistakes. If going to church only stirs up a sense of guilt, we may have missed the heart of the gospel and just how good God has been to us in Christ. The blood of Jesus speaks a better word. It cleanses our conscience—not by our own efforts, not even by the depth of our repentance, but by the sufficiency of his sacrifice. God does not desire a cycle of shame and self-punishment. What he wants is for us to see that Jesus has already accomplished everything. Hebrews tells us, "Our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean," and that gives us a new reality to stand upon. Repentance is how we respond to this grace, not a way to earn it. Paul writes elsewhere that he can “forget the past and press on” because Christ’s blood has set him free. In the same way, we are called to live free—forgiven, cleansed, and empowered to run the race before us. Let’s focus not on what lies behind, but on what God is calling us toward: a life shaped by love, joy, and the liberty Christ has won. So, are you tired of living under the weight of shame and regret? You don’t have to carry that anymore. Christ’s sacrifice is more than enough. Walk in the joy and freedom of a conscience fully cleansed. You are loved, you are new, and the way is open—boldly step into God’s presence, motivated by love and hope, encouraging one another along the way. That’s a prayer for my heart, for my family, and for you. May you know just how clean, free, and loved you are because of Jesus. May it be so. 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, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us ...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today’s episode, host Hunter invites us to join him on July 12th—day 194 of our journey through the Scriptures. We explore powerful passages from Isaiah chapters 11 and 14, and journey into Hebrews chapter 9. Together, we’ll uncover prophetic visions of hope, justice, and the coming reign of God’s peace, as well as deep insights into Christ’s sacrifice and what it means for our access to God’s kingdom life today. Hunter reflects on these ancient texts, drawing connections to our daily lives and leading us in heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, and trust in God’s love. Whether you’re a longtime listener or new to the community, join us as we gather to “warm our hearts by the fire of God’s love” and be reminded—you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There is a second room, and in it are symbols of a second chance. That's what the writer of Hebrews is telling us. There is the holy place, the first room. But then he talks about the second room. In that room is a box containing symbols. In that box there is manna, the symbol of God's provision, care and love. There is also a staff in the box. It represents God's judgment, His wisdom and his rule. And there are tablets. These speak of his law and his righteousness. These are artifacts and tokens of God's kingdom. The symbols of the kingdom are all covered up in a box. And the cover of the box is called the atonement seat. It seems as if the vestiges of this greatly desired kingdom are shut up, locked up in this box, out of reach. Access to these sparse tokens was granted only once a year, and only to one person. When that person entered this second room, he offered a sacrifice of blood on the atonement seat where these symbols of the kingdom reside. It's almost as if he were trying to open the box and that kingdom life by the shedding of the blood. He would enter that room year after year, hoping to unlock, as it were, the gifts of kingdom life. But the key to the lock on this box could not be opened by the shedding of the blood of calves and goats. Releasing the power of these kingdom symbols requires a far greater sacrifice than the blood of goats and bulls. There's only one person that can open up these treasures. God has sent his own high priest into the second room. He has offered his own blood on the seat of atonement. And with the sacrifice of His Son, we are given full access into kingdom life. Now we can know and experience his love. We can know his judgments and wisdom in our life. We can live righteously before him, because now His Spirit resides in us and his laws are written on our hearts. Our champion, Christ, has gone into the second room and offered his blood on the atonement seat for the whole world. The treasures of that box have been opened up for all. We no longer need to send our man in once a year to look at a box with scraps and tokens of a kingdom long ago, filled with failed dreams and distant hopes. No, these symbols point us to what Christ has done for the world once for all time. He has won the treasures of kingdom life for all, here and now. So let's not live on scraps and tokens and remnants of some distant hope. He went into that second room for us and he has opened up the treasures of life, life in his kingdom today. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see what he has done, that I will rest in his completed work, and that I will know his joy. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today, not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power, renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace; where fear takes root, let me plant trust; where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel, not to win, but to love, not to grasp, but to ...

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: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we gather each day to journey through the Scriptures and seek the heart of God. In today’s episode, host Hunter guides us through Isaiah chapters 8–10, and Hebrews chapter 8, drawing our attention to God’s enduring presence, faithfulness, and the promise of a new covenant. We reflect on moments of warning, prophecy, and hope—witnessing both judgment and the dawn of redemption through the coming of a great light. As we move from the ancient struggles of Israel to the beautiful declaration in Hebrews that we have a High Priest in Jesus, Hunter encourages us to see Christ as the true and ultimate point of it all: the One who writes God’s laws upon our hearts and invites us into the joy and freedom of life with Him. Join us for scripture, prayer, and a reminder that you are, without a doubt, deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the main point. When we look back over the pages of Scripture and consider the prophets, the priests, the kings, all the people and stories—the point to which all of this leads is Jesus. The book of Hebrews, reflecting on all that has come before, tells us plainly: we have a High Priest who is seated in the place of honor at the right hand of the Father. And what’s more, this High Priest is not just one who offers sacrifices out of obligation, like those before Him, but one who Himself is the offering—the One who mediates a new covenant, a better covenant, grounded in better promises. What sets Jesus apart is not just what He’s done, but what He continues to do. He is our advocate before the Father. The old ways—the law, the sacrifices, the external signs—pointed toward something greater. And now, through Him, God has written His laws not on tablets of stone, but on our very minds and hearts. We are invited not into a distant, law-based relationship, but into participation with Christ Himself—sharing in His kingdom and in His life. Jesus does more than deliver us from guilt and shame; He unshackles us from the power of death and darkness. He gives us, not a set of external rules, but Himself. All the heroes and prophets of Scripture, all the signs and shadows, are fulfilled in Him. The main point, then, is not a doctrine or even a set of principles, but a Person. Jesus. And in His light, we find true life. That is the prayer I have for my own heart today: that I would live in the reality of Christ—the true center and meaning of my story. It’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and our children, and it’s the prayer I have for you. Let us walk this day in the light of Jesus, our High Priest, our Advocate, the One who is the main point of it all. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, host Hunter takes us through the readings from Micah chapters 5 through 7 and Hebrews chapter 7, reflecting on profound questions about justice, mercy, and the true cost of forgiveness. Together, we explore what God truly requires of us—not endless sacrifices or offerings, but to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Hunter delves into the challenges we all face in living out these commands and points us to the ultimate answer found in Jesus, our high priest who has perfectly fulfilled what we could not. Join us for a time of scripture, thoughtful reflection, and prayer, as we seek to understand more deeply the heart of God revealed through Jesus—the One who is enough and invites us to walk with Him today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How much is enough? How much do we owe for our mistakes, our regrets, the pain we’ve caused? That’s the deep question Micah puts before us in today’s reading. We try to measure it: burnt offerings, rivers of oil, some attempt to set things right, to pay enough to cover our sins. But here’s Micah’s answer—“No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good… to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” That’s the call. Not endless sacrifices or rituals, but a life lived rightly, one that loves mercy and walks humbly with God. And yet, as poetic and right as that sounds, we find ourselves falling short. We’re invited to a life most of us cannot live in our own strength. Adam didn’t. Neither have we. We’ve all missed the mark, failed to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly. But here is the good news: there is One who has not failed—Jesus, our Savior, the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. He did what we could not. He lived rightly, loved mercy, and walked humbly with His Father. He paid the price once and for all for the sins of the world—not by repeated offerings, but by offering Himself. So what will cover our past, our shortcomings, the missing sum in our own ledger? The answer is not more striving, not more doing, but Jesus. Because of Him, we’re invited to participate in a life with God. No longer do we need to keep trying to pay—He is enough. As we receive Him, we’re set free to live out justice, mercy, humility—not as a debt to be paid, but as a life that overflows from Him. That’s my prayer today: that I will participate in this with-God life, that I will receive what has already been accomplished and live in it. He has included me in Himself, and He has included you as well. Everything we need to walk with God today is ours in Jesus. Let us learn from Him now. That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, hosted by Hunter. In today’s episode, recorded on July 9th, we continue our daily rhythm of drawing near to God’s Word and allowing it to shape us. Hunter leads us through powerful passages from Micah 1–4, capturing God’s call for justice and hope for restoration, and then moves into Hebrews 6, exploring the encouragement to grow in maturity, hold onto hope, and anchor ourselves in Christ’s love. As we breathe, rest, and reflect together, Hunter reminds us of the remedies for spiritual dullness: savoring both the “milk and meat” of Scripture, and putting our faith into action through love for others. Today’s reading and reflection challenge us to experience the “with God” life—a life anchored in Christ’s hope, lived out through loving action, and grounded in the unchanging promises of God. Join us for prayer, reflection, and encouragement as we journey deeper into God’s Word and discover afresh that we are truly loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The remedy for a dull spirit. Yesterday, we were reminded of the importance of our hearing—hearing God’s word and savoring it, whether it’s the milk or the meat. That kind of deep attentiveness, that savoring and letting God’s word do its work in us, is the antidote to spiritual dullness and hearing loss. Today, the scripture takes us further, showing us another remedy: love. Love for God’s people, expressed in action, is another way that spiritual indifference and dullness are healed. The writer of Hebrews tells us that God is not unjust; he sees and remembers the work we do for him, especially when it is shown through our love and care for other believers. The encouragement is clear: keep on loving others as long as life lasts. Why? Because this living out of love, this putting the word of God into motion through tangible acts of kindness and care, protects us from spiritual dullness and indifference. It keeps our hope alive, makes it certain, and keeps our spiritual senses sharp. If we let the word of God take root—not just in study, but in the daily business of loving others—we’ll discover that our souls are anchored, firm and secure, in Christ. Like the anchor that holds steady through every storm, Jesus—the one who has entered the inner sanctuary ahead of us—holds us fast. This is the with-God life. A life not just of study or knowledge, but one lived in the presence of God, marked by love, hope, and assurance. Our hope is not wishful thinking. It is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It draws us right into the presence of God, where Jesus has already gone before us as our eternal High Priest. There, in God’s presence, is where we find our greatest joy and where God receives glory. There, we find that love is not just something we do—it is the air we breathe in the kingdom of God. Hear him today. Let his word, and the love he gives you, anchor your spirit. Step into the freedom, joy, and life that is yours in Christ. Love, savor, repeat—these are the rhythms that keep us close to him. That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.
