TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode for June 11th, 2025, join your host Hunter as we continue our journey through the Scriptures together. Today, we’re exploring the poetic beauty of Song of Solomon, chapters 5 through 8, and diving into the opening words of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. As we read, Hunter invites us to encounter Christ—the living Word—who meets us in the midst of our everyday struggles, joys, and questions.
Through the passionate dialogue of Song of Solomon and the encouraging message of Philippians Chapter 1, we’re reminded of God’s enduring love, the transformative power of His presence, and the promise that He is continually at work in our lives. After the readings, Hunter shares inspiring reflections on God meeting us where we are, offering hope and strength, and leads us through a time of heartfelt prayer.
Whether you’re new to the podcast or a daily listener, you’ll find encouragement and connection as we let the Bible point the way to Jesus together. Grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s walk this journey of faith side by side. You are loved—no doubt about it!
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
God meets us in the midst of our struggle. Life brings with it many trials, sufferings, and disappointments, but the good news is that God is not distant from us in those places—he is right here, present, working within us even now. Paul reminds us in Philippians that “we are in this struggle together.” He writes of his own hardships, his imprisonment, and the difficulties that have come his way, not as marks of defeat, but as evidence that God is at work in all things. God is not done with us—he who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
That’s the hope we’re given: in the very midst of the chaos and trouble, God is shaping us, completing us, and drawing us close to him. Paul’s confidence is that God’s presence is active, transforming us from the inside out. Christ in us—the hope and the glory—brings change to our character and fills us with the fruit of salvation. It is here, in our ordinary pains and struggles, that God meets us, not just observing from afar, but walking alongside us and within us. This reality fills Paul with joy, and can fill us with the same joy, no matter what we face.
So let us open ourselves to this abiding presence. Allow God’s Spirit to meet you right where you are. Let his joy be your strength. Remember, even in the midst of it all, you are not alone—God is in you, working all things toward his good purpose. Let that truth produce joy and hope in you, and give thanks that you are loved and never abandoned by the One who is always with you.
That’s my prayer for myself. That’s my prayer for my family, for my wife and my children, and that’s my prayer for you. May it be so.
TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation, shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
O Christ, light of the nations,
Shine in every place where shadows dwell.
Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace.
May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen.
And our Lord make my hands ready for mercy,
make my eyes quick to see the hurting,
my ears open to the cry of the lonely,
and my feet swift to bring good news.
Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed,
to serve, not to be praised,
to forgive, not to hold back.
For in your way is life,
in your mercy is healing,
and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
