TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible on this 19th day of April, day 110 in our journey through the Scriptures. I’m Hunter, your Bible reading coach, here to spend some time with you in God’s Word and let it guide our hearts toward the living Christ. Today, we’ll read through 1 Samuel 22, Psalms 17 and 35, and Matthew chapter 6. Together, we’ll explore the stories of David in hiding, prayers for deliverance, and Jesus’ call to a God-focused life free from worry and self-obsession. We’ll also lift our hearts in prayers that invite God’s peace, guidance, and love into our day. Let’s open our eyes to the wonders of God’s presence—because what we focus on truly matters.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

What are you looking at? Where is your eye being drawn? What light is filling your life? Hunter reminds us that if the world catches our eye, we'll find our hearts filled and even dominated by worry—concerns about survival, about what we eat, drink, wear, and even people's opinions of us. The world teaches us to look inward, to focus on ourselves, and when our eye is fixed inward it becomes a black hole—pulling us deeper into self-obsession, worry, and regret. Jesus warns that an unhealthy eye fills our whole body with darkness. Even for religious people, Jesus gives a strong caution: if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is. To parade our religious acts before others, seeking attention rather than God, is to dwell in this darkness.

But Jesus offers us another way—a way that leads us out of the spiral of worry and self-focus. He invites us to a God-focused life, a life of trust and rest in our Father who knows us, sees us, and loves us. When our eyes are fixed on him, when we're caught up in the light of Christ, we begin to see ourselves and others with new eyes. We learn to love, to serve, to honor—not because we're seeking praise, but because his love is filling our hearts. The light of Christ can shine into every hidden corner of our lives—into our past, our wounds, our fears—bringing healing, wholeness, and renewal.

So what you look at really matters. Where is your gaze? Let your eyes be fixed on Jesus. Let his light fill not just your eyes, but your soul and every part of your being. As his light shines in you, you become new. That is the miracle and the invitation of life with Christ.

That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a 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.
