TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for June 15th. I'm Heather, and today marks day 166 in our journey through the Scriptures. Together, we'll explore First Kings 16, 2 Chronicles 15 and 16, and Colossians chapter 1—reminding ourselves that the Scriptures point us to Jesus, the source of our life. We'll seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to open our hearts, warm ourselves around the fire of God's love, and discover anew how Christ’s victory makes us blameless and reconciled before God. Settle in as we read, reflect, and pray—joining believers from around the world in drawing closer to Christ and finding strength in His joy.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
God has finally found what He's looking for. The Scriptures tell us, "The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." We witness this searching again and again in the stories of the kings of Israel and Judah, kings like Asa, Baasha, and Omri. But even amongst all these leaders, God does not find what His heart desires. It isn’t you. It isn’t me. It isn’t any of the kings or prophets. There is only one in whom the eyes of the Father rest—His Son. When the Father sees the Son, He says, "This is my Son, whom I love. With him I am well pleased." God finds in Jesus the fullness of what He’s sought from the beginning.
Here is the miracle and the message of the gospel: by God's grace, you are now found in the Son, and God finds in you what He is looking for. Through Christ’s reconciling work on the cross, you now stand before God without fault—holy and blameless. Not by your own striving or record, but by the finished work and victorious life of Christ. The cross has accomplished more than we can even imagine. Paul tells us that Christ has reconciled all things; that God, in Christ, has brought you into His own presence. The life, the forgiveness, the joy, and the assurance you need—they are yours because your true life is now hidden with God in Christ.
This is the secret: Christ lives in you. This is your assurance, your glory, your hope. So abide in Him today. Let this good news warm your heart, cast away your doubt, and fill you with the joy and peace He has won for you. God has found what He’s looking for—in His Son, and by grace, in you.
May you know this, rest in it, and let the life of Christ flourish in you, this day and always.
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.
