TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to today’s episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we delve deep into the transformative power of stories that capture our conscience and lead us toward restoration. Today, our host Hunter reflects on a poignant Biblical narrative where the prophet Nathan tells a story that mirrors King David’s own grievous sins. This story not only exposed David's misdeeds to himself but also unveiled the profound truth about human nature: when we sever our connection with God, we are capable of great cruelty. Yet, the episode highlights God’s unfailing love and commitment to restore us. Through Psalm 51, we explore David's plea for renewal and are reminded of the restorative rather than retributive nature of God’s discipline. Hunter shares his own heartfelt prayer for unity with God, not just for himself but for his family and all of us. Join us as we contemplate the enduring promise of God’s restoration and the power of His word to heal and renew.

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.
