July 9th, 26: Micah 1-4; Hebrews 6: Daily Bible in a Year

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. It’s July 9th, and today we journey through the scriptures together, diving into Micah chapters 1-4 and Hebrews chapter 6. We’ll reflect on God’s goodness and faithful love, learning how His word anchors our souls and calls us into deeper love for one another. As we savor both the simplicity and depth of God’s word, we’ll explore how putting faith into loving action keeps our hearts and minds open to God’s voice. Join us for prayer, reflection, and encouragement as we seek to experience the with-God life, anchored in hope and the knowledge that we are truly loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

The remedy for hearing loss—love in action. Yesterday's reading was about our hearing and how to avoid dullness of hearing by savoring the milk and the meat of God’s Word. This was the remedy for hearing loss and dullness. Today we expand upon this thought. Love too is a remedy for hearing loss, particularly love for other Christians. The writer here says, "For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers as you still do." Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent.

If we put God’s Word into loving action for God’s people, then we will not become indifferent and dull of hearing. The remedy for dullness of hearing and hearing loss is to savor the milk and the meat of God’s Word and to put the Word into loving action for God’s people and for this world. When we do that, we realize that our souls are anchored in Christ and we experience the with-God life. As it says, "Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary and Jesus has already gone in there for us." Our hope in God leads us into the sanctuary where Jesus has already gone.

This with-God life is a life in the presence of God, anchored to Him. It is a life where we experience our utmost joy and his ultimate glory. Hear him today. Be anchored in his love and know the joy of the life that you have in Him. It’s a life that is available to all of us even today.

That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters and my son. And that’s the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.
