TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome, dear listeners, to the Daily Radio Bible. Today's episode is one that gently reveals the transformation from tragedy to triumph through faith. We delve into the poignant narrative of the Book of Ruth—a tale initially marked by sorrow, where famine, loss, and death seem to dictate the course of life.

As we reflect on our own trying times, it's understandable to resonate with Naomi's sense of bitterness. Yet, amidst her story's dreary outlook, we find Ruth, a beacon of faithfulness and hope. Ruth's unwavering belief in Naomi's God initiates a pivot to an epic saga of love—one that stretches into the lineage of King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ, our redeemer.

In this episode, we'll explore the power of response in faith, much like Ruth, and how our own narratives have the potential to transcend our most difficult seasons. Despite the struggles and the sense of exile we may have felt, there is a divine author at work in our lives.

Join us as we grasp for that sincere prayer for faith—to see and understand the ongoing work of our kinsman redeemer. May we all hold firm to the knowledge that, through faith, our stories are being woven into God's grand tapestry of love.

Stay with us as we uncover the unwavering hope found in Ruth's journey and what it means for us today.

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.
