In today’s episode, host Hunter invites listeners on Day 125 of our journey through scripture, exploring passages from 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and Matthew. Together, we’ll witness King David's military victories and his profound act of kindness to Mephibosheth, hear the story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and learn from his teachings and parables about faith, humility, and true authority. As always, Hunter encourages us to warm our hearts by the fire of God’s love, reminding us that our greatest victories come through the humble, conquering King—Jesus—who offers rest and peace to all who are weary and burdened. Whether you’re in Sweden, Ukraine, or anywhere else in the world, you are part of this global, grace-filled community. So, grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s discover the treasures of God’s Word together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Someone greater than King David is coming. All throughout today's reading, we see David—the greatest king in Israel's memory—defeating his enemies, subduing kingdoms, and bringing treasures of gold, silver, and bronze into Jerusalem. The nations fall before him; his name grows famous. But the spoils of his conquest are fleeting, material things, trophies of war. Yet the Bible points us forward. There is another King coming—one greater than David. And this King, Jesus, does not conquer by the shed blood of others, but by shedding his own blood for the sake of the world. His triumph isn't measured in riches or territory, but in lives redeemed, in sinners welcomed home, in foreigners and outcasts called sons and daughters. He comes not riding a war horse, but humble and lowly, on a borrowed donkey. He enters not to take, but to give; not to demand, but to serve. The treasures he wins are not silver and gold, but people—the weary, the burdened, those defeated by life, the ones ready to wave that white flag of surrender. You and I are invited again today to see this King, to see his humility, his gentleness, his generous victory. "Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens," he says, "and I will give you rest." He offers his own victorious life for those broken, discouraged, or worn down by their own wars—whether in relationships, finances, health, or hope itself. His victory is for sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes, fishermen, and anyone who will come to him in humility. It is for all who will lay down their burdens and take up his yoke—light, gentle, and full of grace. In his kingdom, defeat becomes victory, sorrow turns to joy, burdens lift as we walk with him. Let us look, then, for our King, humble and riding on a donkey, offering rest for our souls. Let his life fill us, his joy be our strength, and his victory be our song. May we rejoice in his gentle rule today, surrendering all that weighs us down, and finding life—true life—in the One who gave himself for us. That’s a prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that’s the prayer 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...
