On this July 7th episode, Host Hunter invites you to join with listeners from around the world as we spend time reading and reflecting on Scripture together. Today, we journey through Hosea 10–12, Psalm 73, and Hebrews 4—uncovering the consistent theme of God’s steadfast love, the call to return to Him, and the promise of true rest found in Christ. Hunter encourages us to lay down our striving and receive the rest that God graciously offers, reminding us that the gospel is not about what we do, but about learning to trust and rest in Him. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, and dependence on God, followed by the Lord’s Prayer and a gentle reminder that you are deeply loved. Settle in and let your heart be refreshed by the Word and the presence of God today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Are you tired? The invitation to rest is one that echoes through the words of Hebrews today. So often, we find ourselves working, striving, caught up in the pressures of life, feeling that everything depends on us, that we have to keep things under control. But Hebrews reminds us that God’s promise of entering his rest still stands. This rest—true, deep rest—is nothing less than the very heart of the gospel. The good news is not just about doing or achieving, but about receiving, about surrendering, about letting God’s work and love be enough. The writer warns us—not just those who don’t believe, but us, followers of Jesus—not to miss out on this rest. It’s still possible to slip into old patterns: powering up and forcing our agenda, or turtling up and running from our circumstances. But Christ, our great high priest, was tested in every way. He knows what it’s like to stand right where you are, to feel what you feel—yet he didn’t sin or strive like we so often do. He invites us, instead, to bring our weariness and thirst directly to him. The gospel means rest. Not inaction, not apathy, but a soul-deep resting in the finished work of Jesus. If we fail to rest, we miss the wonder and power of the gospel working in our lives. We’re invited to come boldly to the throne of grace—not timidly, not reluctantly, but boldly—trusting that here, in God’s presence, we will find mercy and grace exactly when we need it most. So today, don’t harden your heart. Don’t believe that your struggles are so unique, or your burdens so heavy, that rest is not for you. Instead, hear his voice. Open your hands, and allow yourself to rest in him. The rest he gives truly revives the weary soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that’s the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts, and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today— not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power, renew the face of the earth, and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace. Where fear takes root, let me plant trust. Where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb but to kneel, not to win but to love, not to grasp but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. 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. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.
