TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through the pages of Scripture together. Today is June 25th, day 177 of our reading, and your host Hunter will be guiding us through the book of Joel, chapters one through three, and into 2 Timothy chapter 1. In this episode, we witness vivid images of devastation and restoration in Joel, the outpouring of God’s spirit, and a powerful reminder from Paul to fan into flame the gift of faith. Alongside scripture reading, Hunter offers prayer, reflection, and encouragement to tend to the fire of God’s presence in our lives each day. So, open your heart and let’s receive together the words of life from the living Word.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
If you want to cook, you're going to need some fire.
If you're going to eat, you're going to need some heat. Every day you must fan into flame that gift, that fire that God has ignited in your life. That's what Paul is telling Timothy here. He says, this is why I remind you. Apparently, he's told him this before. This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. The fire of God's abiding presence in us illuminates our path. It gives us power to live out our purpose.
Paul tells Timothy to let it burn. Let it light the path. Fan that into flame. Do all that is necessary to tend to that fire within you, then see what God will do.
The same is true for us. God has given us a gift. It's his abiding presence in us. There's a specific purpose that he has uniquely gifted each of us for. And it's the Spirit's fire that will illuminate that path for us and empower us to participate with God and live out our purpose even in this day. As you abide in him and walk with him and trust him, the fire of God's presence—his Spirit abiding in you—will show you what's required of you. Ask him to make you diligent to tend to that fire of life, his life in you. May you fulfill all of his purposes for you.
That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you.
May it be so.
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.
