TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode for October 20th, 2025, Host Hunter invites listeners to join him and a global community of Bible readers as they journey through Job 6-8 and Acts 12. Together, we hear Job’s heartfelt cries of suffering and his friends’ responses, then witness Peter’s miraculous escape from prison in the book of Acts. Hunter encourages us to trust in God’s ability to open doors in our lives, reminding us to pray, rest, and be ready to walk through the opportunities God provides. With moments of reflection, gratitude, and prayer, this episode is a call to draw closer to God and rest in the assurance of His love—no matter what season you find yourself in.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
It begins with prayer and rest. When Peter was imprisoned, waiting for what looked like certain execution, the church prayed, and Peter slept. These were not the actions of people relying on their own cleverness or strength, but the actions of people whose hope rested in God alone. “Get up, get dressed, grab your coat, and follow me”—those words from the angel came to Peter in the darkest of circumstances, reminding him that the doors only God can open are the ones that truly set us free.
The miracle in this story isn't just the escape, but the way it happens—through prayer, through rest, and through simple obedience. No cunning required, no frantic schemes, just God’s gracious intervention. That’s our invitation too: to rest in God, to pray, to make ourselves available, and to be poised to participate when the path ahead unfolds—in his time, in his way.
Prayer acknowledges God’s goodness. Rest is the disposition of a heart that knows God can and will do what we cannot. And when the door opens, we walk forward in faith, trusting in his purposes for us. Today, as you face your circumstances, remember: Only God is able. Yours is to pray and to rest, and when he calls, to get up and go.
The miracle ahead is Christ in you—the hope of glory. That’s my prayer for myself, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it’s my prayer for you. May we walk forward into God’s purposes, rested, prayerful, and ready. 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.
