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, your host Hunter invites you to join him on day 109 of our journey through the Bible. Together, we'll explore the dramatic story of David and Jonathan's friendship and loyalty in 1 Samuel 20–21, reflect on David's psalm of praise and trust in Psalm 34, and listen to the timeless and challenging words of Jesus in Matthew 5 as he delivers the Sermon on the Mount. Hunter draws powerful connections between the Old and New Testaments, showing how Jesus fulfills the law with a message rooted in love. We'll close with heartfelt prayers for peace, guidance, and the grace to live out God's love each day. Whether you're opening your Bible for the first time or continuing a lifelong journey, this episode promises encouragement, reflection, and practical inspiration for your walk with God. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus, the fulfillment of the law, shows us the heart of God. As we open up the scriptures today and listen to Jesus on the mountainside, delivering his most well-known sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, we encounter a powerful truth. Matthew helps us see a profound contrast—Moses went up Mount Sinai and brought the law, the Ten Commandments, to the people. Now, Jesus ascends a mountain, but he comes with a better message: a message not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it, to bring it to its true purpose. So many of us find ourselves thinking that if we can just keep the law, we'll be alright with God—as if our life is conditioned on our performance. But Jesus turns this understanding upside down. He fulfills the purpose of the law, showing us that it was always meant to lead us to love. Love is the heart of the matter. Jesus, the far better Moses, draws us right to what matters most—loving God and loving others. Everything else flows from that. We hear Jesus calling us to a life that goes beyond mere rules. “Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. Be salt, be light, pursue justice and mercy. Let your good deeds shine so that all may praise your Heavenly Father.” This is not a burdensome call, but an invitation to the very life of God. It's the way of love, and by the power of Christ in us, we can walk in it. Our entry into this way of life isn't based on our ability to keep the law, but on our willingness to experience the love of God for ourselves. When we receive his love, it transforms us from the inside out. That's what enables us to live the life Jesus describes—a life shaped and fueled by the love of God. May God help us to experience him deeply, for God is love. That's the prayer I have for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and for you, dear ones. May we be people who walk in the way of love, the way of Jesus, and may it be so among us. Amen. 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

It's not too late In this study of 1 Samuel 2, we examine the sobering contrast between the faithfulness of young Samuel and the corruption of Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas. Though they held priestly positions, these men had no intimacy with God—referred to in Hebrew as yada—and treated God's offerings with contempt, leading others astray and defiling worship. Their failure, and Eli's refusal to restrain them, invites God's judgment and reminds us that spiritual downfall is never random; it is preceded by choices that dishonor God. In contrast, Samuel's quiet and consistent service to the Lord, even in a spiritually toxic environment, reveals how God honors those who seek His heart. The study challenges us to evaluate whether we are reshaping God's Word to suit our preferences or submitting to it with reverence. Transformation flows from intimacy with God, not religious routine—and the faithful, like Samuel, will grow in favor with God and man, even when surrounded by failure.
