January 27th, 26: Exodus 17-20; Acts 3: Daily Bible in a Year

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, we continue our journey through the Scriptures on this 27th day of January, focusing not just on reading the Bible, but on experiencing the transforming life and love of Jesus.

Hunter guides us through pivotal passages in Exodus and the book of Acts, revisiting powerful stories such as Moses striking the rock at Massah, the Israelites’ encounter at Mount Sinai, the giving of the Ten Commandments, and the miraculous healing at the temple gate in Acts 3. As Hunter reflects on these stories, we’re reminded that faith isn’t just about history or transaction—it’s about a deep, personal relationship with God, one that lifts us up and invites us to stand upright in His love.

Along the way, Hunter invites us to pause for moments of prayer, gratitude, and reflection, encouraging us to keep taking steps toward Jesus and to allow God’s love to flow through our lives and into the world around us. Whether you’re joining in for the first time or you’ve been with us from the beginning, this episode is a call to embrace your place in God’s story—a story where you are loved, you are seen, and you are never alone. Let’s dive in together!

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

He sees you and calls you to walk upright. As Peter and John made their way to the temple, they encountered a man who had never walked. He was sitting at the Beautiful Gate, hoping for a little help—maybe a few coins from a kind passerby. What he was really searching for was someone who would stop, see him, and take notice in the midst of the crowds. Peter and John did just that. They looked at him intently—not with eyes of pity or indifference, but with the same eyes Jesus had for those who were hurting and in need. They saw him, really saw him.

In that moment, Peter didn’t offer silver or gold. Instead, he offered something far greater: the life and power of Jesus. "In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk." This was no transaction. This was not about what the man could earn, believe, or accomplish on his own. It was a declaration—a gift rooted entirely in Christ: who he is and what he has done.

So often, we can see ourselves in that beggar at the gate—waiting and hoping, feeling unseen and unworthy, longing for scraps when Jesus is offering wholeness. The good news is, the Gospel is not a sales pitch or an exchange. It doesn’t depend on what we put forth, but on what Christ has done. He reaches down, takes us by the hand, and invites us to stand—fully loved, fully included in God’s covenant promises. You are not a beggar at God’s table. You are his beloved child, meant to walk upright, embraced by the love of the Father.

Let Jesus look into your heart today. Let him lift you up. Walk confidently in the reality of who you are in Christ. This is not just for a select few—it is for you, for your family, for all who would receive him. The life that is being given to you, in Jesus, is not about merit but about his finished work and his love that calls you by name.

That is my prayer for my own soul. That is my prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that is my prayer for you. May it be so.
