TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, your host Hunter guides us through a rich tapestry of scripture, reflecting on Proverbs 30 and 31, Psalm 33, and Ephesians 1. We journey through age-old wisdom, poetic praise, and the powerful reminder from Paul that God fills the empty spaces in our lives, making all things new in Christ. Hunter offers heartfelt prayers, encouragement, and invites us to practice gratitude and reflect on who we truly are in Christ. Plus, don’t miss a quick announcement about a new podcast companion episode, where Hunter unpacks the beautiful theological concept of “recapitulation” and its connection to today’s readings. Settle in, open your heart, and join us as we encounter the words of life together.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
He fills all things. I need to be filled. There are gaping holes in my life. There are missing pieces. Much has been broken. Much is missing. I need to be filled. I see that now more than ever.
And Paul knows what it’s like—to know that he needs to be filled. Paul sees that God, in his wisdom and mercy, has come to fill humanity. He’s come for humanity, his children, that we might be filled and restored in him. Paul repeatedly says in this one chapter that God is going to fill all things with himself.
And elsewhere in the book of Corinthians, Paul says, "God will be all and in all." Christ has come and united himself to us. He has included us in the life that he shares with the Father, in the Spirit. We have been made full and complete in him.
Now, ours is to wake up to who we are—to begin to live in the truth of our being. He is making all things new: all those empty places, unfinished places in our lives. Let us be reminded together that Christ has come to fill all things with himself and to make all things new.
And that includes you.
When he says all things, it means all. And let us receive this promise today of Christ’s filling. That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you.
May it be so.
TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Merciful God, you have brought us through the night.
Into this new day, we offer you our lives again.
Our hopes, our fears, our work, our rest.
Keep us faithful in the little things and mindful of your presence in every moment.
Let us not be led by anxiety or pride, but by your peace that passes all understanding through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Lord Jesus, you stretched wide your arms on the cross to draw all people to yourself, draw the hurting, the hungry, the weary. Break down every wall of hostility and build us into one family by your spirit. Amen.
And now, Lord, teach me to walk not with fear, but with faith. Where there is noise, let me be still. Where there is boasting, let me be quiet.
Where there is suffering, let me kneel. Let me not crave recognition, but righteousness, not applause, but communion. For in you I have life, and in dying with you, I rise. 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.
And 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.
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.
