Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode for August 27th, we journey through some deep and moving passages, starting in Jeremiah 52, where we witness the tragic fall of Jerusalem and the exile of God’s people. Then, we turn to Revelation 1, where John’s vision of Christ offers hope and the promise of restoration out of the ruins. We also find comfort and honest prayer in Psalm 143 and 144, as David cries out for God’s presence, guidance, and protection. Along the way, Hunter shares heartfelt reflections on what it means to live with hope in seasons of exile and loss, pointing us to the ultimate King who gathers the broken and leads them home. He invites us to let God’s joy be our strength and to remember that, no matter where we are in life, we are deeply loved. So grab your Bible and join us as we read, reflect, and pray together—letting God’s Word shape our day and our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It will end with a song. Today, for the first time this year, we ended our reading with the song we heard in Jeremiah—a song of exile and judgment. We read of a king and a kingdom brought low; Zedekiah, blinded, and Jerusalem reduced to rubble, a people sent away from their home. But the story does not end in ruin. From Jeremiah’s ruins, we moved to John’s vision in Revelation, and in that vision we find hope rising. Out of the devastation, from the ashes, emerges someone like the Son of Man—a king far greater than Zedekiah, a king with eyes like flames of fire, a gold sash across His chest, feet like polished bronze, and a voice as mighty as ocean waves. This is our King, Jesus. This King gathers up all the exiles—the broken, the fearful, the defeated, the ones who have known captivity in body, soul, or spirit. He seeks out those lost and crushed under the weight of ruins, those who know what it means to be scattered and longing for home. And to every exile, He offers a new kingdom and a new song—not a song of despair, but one of deliverance and hope. The song is this: “May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no going into captivity, no cries of alarm in our town squares. Yes, joyful are those who live like this. Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.” This is not just the end of today’s scripture—it is the end of our story, too. Our lives, no matter how marred by ruin or exile, will end with a song that leads us forward into eternal life. This new King has come, and there is none like Him. Have this song—the song of His love and freedom—in your heart. Grow ever more convinced and devoted to the message of this song: that His love sets us free, not only us, but the world. For God so loved the world. That’s the prayer I have for my own soul today. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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 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 ...

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode for August 26th, 2025, join your host, Hunter, as we journey together through another day in God’s Word. Today, we dive into the powerful prophecies found in Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51, where we hear God’s message concerning the fall of Babylon—a tale of justice, redemption, and the unwavering faithfulness of the Lord. We’ll also read from 3 John, reflecting on the contrasting lives of Diotrephes and Demetrius, and considering what it means to walk in the truth with humility and grace. As always, Hunter guides us not only through the scriptures, but also into a time of prayer, personal reflection, and encouragement. Whether you’re a daily listener or just tuning in, take these minutes to nurture your soul, rest in God’s love, and set your heart for the path ahead. So, grab your Bible, find a quiet space, and let’s encounter God together—remembering, as always, that you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Diotrephes and Demetrius, they couldn't be more different. Diotrephes was known to speak lies. He loved to be the leader and he made his life all about him. Demetrius spoke the truth. He was a humble traveling messenger that spoke the truth of the good news. His words of truth set people free, because that's what the truth does. John said everyone speaks highly of Demetrius, as does the truth itself. The truth will always point us not to ourselves, but to God. And God's truth will set us free and give us joy. So let's choose the way of Demetrius, the humble, truth speaking pilgrim, growing in the truth, being set free and knowing his joy. May God give us the heart of Demetrius. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this August 25th episode, join your host Hunter as we journey through day 237 of our year-long trek through the pages of Scripture. Today, we dive into the dramatic account of Jeremiah chapters 37 through 39, witnessing King Zedekiah’s struggle with pride and fear as Jerusalem faces the Babylonian invasion—and how Jeremiah stands firm amid adversity. Our reading wraps up with the heartfelt encouragement found in Second John, reminding us of the call to truth and love in the face of life’s challenges. Through reflection and prayer, Hunter invites us to examine our own hearts, learn from the faith and failings of those before us, and embrace the grace, mercy, and steadfast love of God as we close out the summer season. Settle in, quiet your heart, and let’s draw closer to the Living Word together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Blinded by pride and fear, Zedekiah’s fate stands as a stark warning for us all. He could not hear or see the word of the Lord spoken through Jeremiah, and instead clung tightly to his own life, his own position, his own fears. In the end, everything he was so desperate to avoid came to pass—his sight was taken away, his freedom lost, and he became a captive, led away just as Jeremiah had faithfully prophesied. Pride and fear—they make for harsh and cruel masters. Zedekiah’s story is one of gradually yielding to their grip, turning a deaf ear to repeated invitations into a better, truer way of life. When we allow pride or fear to rule in us, we too lose sight; we become prisoners of our own anxious striving, our own need to control or be right. But in today’s reading from Second John, we hear another way—a way marked by grace, mercy, and truth. John encourages us to abide in love, not allowing anything to stand in the way of the life Christ has given us. He calls us to be diligent, to watch out that we do not lose what we have received by remaining in the teaching of Christ, by remembering the profound love God has for us and letting it shape every step we take. It is only in God’s love that we find sight, freedom, and true reward. As we root ourselves in the truth of the gospel, as we let go of our pride and release our fears, we are ever being freed from the blindness that once gripped us. There is more to see, more freedom to taste, and more love to share, for those who walk in faith and trust in Jesus. That’s my prayer for my own soul today—that I would recognize and reject the voices of pride and fear in my life. That is my prayer for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that is my prayer for you: that you would walk in God’s love, see with clear eyes, and experience the fullness of mercy and grace that is yours in Christ. 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this August 24th episode, Heather joins us for our ongoing journey through the Scriptures. Today, we’ll dive into readings from Jeremiah 33 and 34, Psalm 74, and conclude with 1 John 5. Heather reminds us that we come to the Scriptures not just for knowledge, but to encounter Jesus, the true source of our life. As we listen, we’re invited to open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, seeking to see Jesus afresh and to encourage one another in God’s love. Together, we’ll reflect on God’s promises of restoration and mercy from Jeremiah—even in the midst of judgment and uncertainty—and join in the psalmist’s cry for God’s presence and help. In our New Testament reading, Heather unpacks the Apostle John’s message about what it truly means to “know” as children of God—and challenges us to let go of the need for absolute certainty, embracing faith and trusting in God’s love. Stay tuned as Heather leads us in meaningful prayers, a time of reflection, and a reminder to carry God’s peace and love into the world. Whether you’ve been with us every day or you’re tuning in for the first time, you’re invited to draw near, be strengthened, and remember: you are loved. TODAY’S DEVOTION: What do you know? John wants to make sure you and I know a few things. Because before he signs off on his letter, his parting words to us have this refrain over and over. We know. Now John is not saying, know and believe all the right things. Because when you know all the right things in the Bible, then your world and your life will all make sense. Many people pursue their religion this way. I will try really hard to know all the right beliefs and know all the right things to do, and then my life will make sense and everything will go well with me. But that's just not how life works. There are just too many things that happen in life that will not make sense. We all face things in life that do not make sense, no matter how much we think we know about God, no matter how buttoned down we think our beliefs are. John wants you to know some things. But the things that he wants us to know are those things that can help us to trust when life doesn't make sense. If you want, you can go over chapter five again and listen to all the things that John wants us to know. But underneath it all is John's heart for people. He calls us his children. He wants us to know these things because they help us to trust God, even when what we know is not enough. So trust that God is love. Trust that you have fellowship with him. Trust that he is with you now, even in your unknowing. Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts. John is telling us, stay away from idols, child. And then you'll be sure to know all that you need to know. Know what you need to know. And one thing we need to know is that all things cannot be known. So be wary of trying to nail down all the things. Try not to approach your faith, your theology, and this Bible as something you can master. When John says that he wants us to know, he is not telling us to nail it all down. He is rather inviting us into this journey of faith, one where we will have to accept some uncertainty, mystery and paradox. Know what you need to know. Live as a child of God, because that is what you are. 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode for August 23rd, 2025, your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter, guides us through a rich journey in the Scriptures, exploring Jeremiah 31 and 32, followed by First John 4. As we listen to God’s promises of restoration, Hunter unpacks the profound declaration of a new covenant—a covenant not written on tablets of stone, but on our very hearts. We also pause with John’s letter to consider the nature of true love, the assurance we have as God’s children, and the freedom that perfect love brings from fear and shame. Join us for moments of scripture, insight, and heartfelt prayer as we reflect on God’s everlasting love, the invitation to live in peace and gratitude, and the challenge to let love—God’s own love—shape every part of our daily lives. Whether you’re seeking encouragement or a deeper connection with God, this episode offers a fresh reminder: you are loved, and God has made a way for you. Let’s spend these few moments together, listening and growing in the presence of the One who is love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A new covenant, a new heart, a new hope. Jeremiah is given a prophecy from the Lord about a coming day—a day when God himself will do something entirely new. God promises to write his covenant, not just on tablets of stone, nor simply in laws and rituals, but deep within his people, written upon their very hearts. The old covenant—well-intentioned, but forever frustrated by human weakness—would give way to something greater. The life that this first covenant called for would finally be lived out in perfection, not by us, but by His Son. Jesus, the spotless Lamb, lived a life of love and obedience, fulfilling what Israel and all of us could not. By his loving sacrifice, he has reconciled us—broken, exhausted, rebellious exiles—back to God. This is God’s new work: he has taken the old, hardened heart of Adam and replaced it with a new heart, a heart that desires fellowship, love, and communion with God. Where shame, guilt, and fear once reigned, God plants a new covenant, a new hope, a new person. He does not merely repair us; he remakes us. “I will put my instructions deep within them,” Jeremiah says. “I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” This is not something we accomplish—it is something God has done for us, out of his unending love. The apostle John says it so plainly: “God is love. And all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” God’s perfect love has made a way for us to live free—free from condemnation, free from shame, free from fear. As we continue to trust, to abide, and to participate with Him, our lives are gradually transformed. Our love grows more perfect. We begin to live as those who are truly loved, loving others, and living with confidence. Fear loses its grip, because perfect love expels all fear. This good news—the news of a new covenant written on our hearts, of lives made new in love—is for us and for the world. Let us awaken each day to this reality. God’s love is not just something we hear about; it has been poured into our hearts, making us new people, with a new purpose and a new hope. That’s a prayer I have for my own soul, to live in this love, to participate in it, to let it drive out fear, condemnation, shame, and guilt. I pray that for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you, too. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give...

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, we journey together through Jeremiah chapters 28 to 30 and 1 John chapter 3. Hunter, your Bible reading coach, guides us through dramatic moments in Jerusalem—false prophets, warnings, promises of restoration, and God’s faithfulness spite of exile. As we hear these ancient words, we’re invited to see ourselves as God’s beloved children, free from shame and regret, confident in His love and purpose. Each passage points us to the living Word—Jesus—and reminds us of our true identity as those deeply loved by the Father. Join us as we let scripture reframe our vision, encourage our souls, and strengthen us for the day ahead. Let’s discover hope, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What do you see when you look at your life? Is it your sin, your regrets, your past, or your shame? Sometimes those things can loom so large in our vision that it's hard to see anything else, and it can be difficult to imagine ever moving past them. But John urges us to look again—this time, not at ourselves, but at God’s love for us. John calls us children of God. He invites us to let that identity shape the way we see, act, and live. What you behold, what you fix your eyes on, makes all the difference in who you become. When we behold God’s love—love that claims us as his own, love that is not conditioned by our performance, feelings, or even confidence—we are free to live differently. God’s love for you is not built on your success or your piety; it is built on his steadfast character and the finished work of Christ. You are his child—not because you’ve earned it, but because he has bestowed it upon you. John reminds us that seeing ourselves through the lens of God’s love will transform everything. It enables us to move beyond the lies of guilt, shame, and fear, and into the truth that we are God’s beloved. It gives us the freedom and confidence to love others as he has loved us, to live as people deeply and securely loved. That’s the prayer for us today: that our vision would be transformed by the Word, reframed by Jesus, so we may see the truth of who we are—children of the Father, enfolded in his love. As that becomes our vision, it changes not only how we see ourselves, but how we live in this world and how we love others. That’s something I pray for myself, for my family, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode, recorded August 21st, 2025, we journey through powerful passages in Jeremiah, Psalm 118, and 1 John 2. Your host, Hunter, guides us through stories of exile, hope, and God’s enduring love, reminding us that while the cravings of this world leave us empty, a life rooted in Christ brings true satisfaction and meaning. Listen in for a heartfelt prayer, thoughtful reflections about moving beyond self-focused desires, and encouragement to embrace the little, everyday ways Christ’s love shapes our lives. As summer comes to a close, take a moment to rest, reflect, and remember: you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Cravings. We all get them. The world offers us strong cravings for physical pleasures, possessions, pride, and our achievements. But like all cravings, they are never satisfied. We are left empty in the end, wanting more. They never deliver. These cravings are self-focused. They are self-indulgent. When we give in to them, we get stuck. We become shallow, hollowed out, empty people—people who are always craving more. And the more we crave, the emptier and more hollow our lives become. But John wants to direct us to another way—a way made available to all by the presence of Christ’s Spirit within us. Because of his life in you, you can live a life that goes beyond yourself, a life that truly satisfies, a life fully focused on walking with God, serving, and loving others. Our response and our participation to the life of Christ in us is the beginning of living Christ-focused. It enables us to move beyond the endless cycle of craving, emptiness, shame, and despair. Instead, we experience hope, love, kindness, joy. We experience a fruitful and meaningful life. The cravings of this world are strong, but there’s something far more powerful and that’s available to you, and that is Christ in you—your hope and your glory. And Christ’s life in us isn’t always expressed in something big and loud and flamboyant. In fact, most often it leads to something common and every day and humble, like being kind, sharing with those in need, listening to others, exercising your unique gifts, recognizing the gifts of others. These things, as well as others, are common markers of Christ’s life in us. The exercise of these common acts of kindness, humility, and love are what leads to a truly satisfying life. May you find your satisfaction there with him today. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that 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: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope, reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, and thank you for joining us on August 20th, 2025, for day 232 in our journey through the Scriptures. I'm your host, Hunter, your Bible reading coach and companion as we explore God's Word together. In today’s episode, we’ll be diving into some powerful passages from Jeremiah 48 and 49, where we hear God’s prophetic messages to the nations of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and more—emphasizing both judgment and ultimate restoration. We’ll then lift our hearts in praise with Psalm 67 and finish with the life-giving words of First John chapter 1, where we are reminded that “God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.” Join me as we reflect on what it means to live in the light and love of God, leaving behind shadowed understandings of who He is, and embracing a faith that is anchored in His compassion and grace. As always, we’ll close with prayers together, seeking God’s blessing and strength for the day ahead. Whether this is your first episode or you’ve journeyed with us all year, I pray today’s reading will refresh and encourage your soul. Let’s get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all. That’s the clear testimony of John in his first letter, and it’s one he insists on with careful simplicity. There’s no shadow in God, no hidden intentions, no darkness lurking behind His actions, not in some corner of His heart. God is light, and only light. And, John says, he and the other witnesses saw Him with their own eyes, touched Him with their own hands. In Jesus, the fullness of that light shone. Yet, many of us grow up with an uneasy sense that there’s a second side to God—light and love on one hand, but wrath, anger, and darkness always close at hand. We might hear it in phrases like, “God is love, but He’s also just,” or “God is love, but He’s also holy.” We’re left wondering if there is a line we might cross, a dividing point between God’s kindness and God’s judgment, and so we live in a sort of anxious balancing act, trying to stay in His favor and avoid the hidden, darker side of His character. But John sets the record straight: God is light, and God is love. Everything that flows from Him—His holiness, His righteousness, and yes, even His judgments—comes out of that light and love. There’s nothing hiding behind Jesus’ back; He’s not the good cop while the Father is the bad cop. The nature of God is fully revealed in the face of Jesus, and that revelation is pure goodness. The very light of God has invited us, every one of us, into fellowship with Himself. We don’t need to fear bringing our brokenness, our sin, and our shadows into the presence of His light. In fact, that is the invitation—bring it all to Him, let His love do what only love can do: expose, forgive, transform, heal, and invite us into real fellowship. Even as there remains darkness in us, it does not change who God is. We are to learn, like John, to see Jesus as He is, to experience Him with our own eyes and hands—to step out of the shadows and walk in the light. That’s the prayer for today: to learn the ways of shadow-free living and shadow-free believing; to see God as He truly is, and to let that truth change the way we see ourselves and others, to let it dissolve our fear and shame. May we all come to know—deep in our hearts—that God is only and always light and love. That’s my prayer for my own soul, for my family, for my wife and daughters and son, and that’s my prayer 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. Dear Lord, 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. O ...
