TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible. I'm Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach. Today, on this 20th day of January, we continue our journey through the Scriptures. Whether you're joining for the first time or have been with us for years, we're thrilled to share this time with you. Today's reading covers Genesis chapters 49 and 50, Psalm 8, and Luke chapter 20. Through these passages, we'll explore the blessings pronounced by Jacob upon his sons, the profound mourning process for Jacob's death, and Jesus' teachings in the temple, including his parable of the vineyard tenants. Together, may we experience the transforming love found in the presence and life of Jesus. Stay with us as we delve into the word and conclude with a time of prayer, embracing God's purpose and blessings over our lives. Let's begin.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Have you ever been blessed? Has anyone ever spoken words of blessing and life on behalf of God over your life? Has anyone ever spoken over you of God's design on your life, his purposes yet to be fulfilled by him in you? Has anyone ever blessed you? You, me, we are made for that kind of blessing. You were created to be blessed. Our destiny is somehow wrapped up in this thing called blessing. When words of blessing fail to reach our ears, our life, there are hard consequences on us. We are restless until we find that blessing from God, that blessing that you were made for.

Many of you may be able to say that you have received those kinds of words. You have been blessed this way. People have spoken words on behalf of God over you. They have recognized what God is doing in your life, how he has made you so uniquely, what he has called and created you for, and those words have made all the difference. But I'd guess that many, if not most of you, have not heard or received those words of blessing. You need to know that you were made for it, That God wants you to hear those words of life spoken over you by him. He wants you to know how uniquely you have been made, how important you are, that you matter, that you have a purpose, that he loves you and desires to bless you. He wants you to know it.

My prayer is that as you meet him, as we come to him each day through the word, as you invite him to open your heart and mind and eyes in your everyday life, that you will hear him speak, that you'll hear his words of blessing over you. Hear him speak deeply into your life, and know that you are loved. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the 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.
