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. I'm your host, Hunter, and today is September 24th. As we journey through day 268 of our year-long trek in the Bible, we'll dive into the rich narratives and spiritual truths found in Ezra chapter 1, Psalms 84 and 85, and Luke chapter 7.

We'll start with the profound fulfillment of prophecy in Ezra, where God's hand moves through King Cyrus of Persia, urging the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Then, we’ll transition to the heartfelt praises and petitions found in Psalms 84 and 85, which express longing, gratitude, and a plea for God's continued favor. Finally, we'll explore Luke, chapter 7, where Jesus heals the centurion's servant, raises a widow’s son, and offers profound insights into faith and forgiveness, challenging the rigid expectations of the Pharisees.

Join me as we reflect on these passages and discover the timeless message of God's love, grace, and redemption. And remember, you are loved. Let's get started.

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 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.
