TODAY'S EPISODE:

In our daily lives, we often carry hidden burdens and struggles that we prefer to keep buried deep within. The story of Achan serves as a powerful reminder of the internal battles we face, even when we may appear victorious on the outside.

Similar to Achan's hidden treasures, we too may have unresolved issues and secrets in our hearts that we struggle to trust God with. The question arises: do we have something buried within us that we have refused to confront and release to God's grace?

However, amidst our struggles, there is hope. The story of Achan also points us to a greater truth: Jesus is far better in this narrative. Jesus offers us the chance to unearth and confront the secrets in our lives, and in return, provides us with forgiveness, grace, and freedom from the weight of our past mistakes.

Just as Achan faced the severe consequences of his hidden sins, we are reminded that Jesus has come to set us free from the darkness within us. His love, sacrifice, and resurrection offer us a path to liberation and healing. Through Jesus, we can find the strength to surrender our burdens and embrace the light of His love and forgiveness.

As we reflect on this message, may we find solace in the truth that Jesus has come to free us from the burdens of our past. Let's take a moment to surrender our hidden struggles to Him and embrace the freedom and peace that He offers.

Blessings!

Hunter

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, they 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.
