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, where Hunter invites us to gather around the Scriptures on this fourth day of December, day 340 in our year-long journey through the Bible. In today's episode, Hunter guides us through Ephesians chapters 5 and 6, and Psalm 119, reflecting on God's love, the call to live as children of light, and the deep longing for spiritual renewal. We meditate on the ways Scripture reminds us of God's goodness and our true identity in Christ, even in times of wandering or uncertainty. As we enter the Advent season, Hunter leads us in heartfelt prayer, encouraging us to wait, hope, and receive courage for the day ahead. Today's episode is also a time to remember and honor the generous partners who make this ministry possible, and an invitation for listeners to join in partnership and support. Gather with us, warm your spirit by the fires of God's love, and let His joy be your strength as we journey together through His Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Training our ears to hear God's word. What is it that we're doing each day as we gather for this podcast journey? Hunter reminds us: we're training our ears to hear the voice of our Shepherd. We're coming—day after day—to the Scriptures, not simply to accumulate knowledge, but to be attuned to the heart of God, to see who he is and who we have become in him. David, in the psalm, confesses, "I have wandered away like a lost sheep. Come and find me." Even in our wandering, even as we lose our way, there is One whose voice still finds us, who heals, restores, and makes all things new. It is David's commitment—anchored in his practice of meditating on God's word—that keeps him turning back, again and again, to the One who will not abandon or forget him. What David struggled to communicate—his yearning to be found and restored—Jesus fulfills with perfect clarity. Jesus reveals that God is good, that he is the Father of lights, the source of every good and perfect gift. All humans find their origin in him, and all are welcomed into his family. And even though we can forget this, especially in the dark nights or wandering seasons, the Scriptures are there to help us remember both who God is and who we are: redeemed, made new, and deeply loved. Let the word of God train our hearts in this way of love. Let it shape our understanding of ourselves—beloved, forgiven, renewed. Let it remind us of the Father's unwavering goodness and Jesus's invitation to be made new, again and again. That's a prayer Hunter holds for himself, for his family, and 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.  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  

The writer starts with the next Hebrew letter as he continues this acrostic with a new set of eight lines (otherwise known as a new stanza.) Although it starts with another cry of agony, it is still the case for the Psalmist; so it is the case for some of the season we may go through with YAHWEH. God willing just 2 episodes left until we finish this long and incredible study through Psalm 119 ! :)josiahmovius12@yahoo.com

Key Verse: Psalm 119:71 - It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.

In this episode, Micah sits down with Mike Herbster to explore Psalm 119:73–80—a stanza that anchors us in God's faithful work even in seasons of affliction. Together, they reflect on how the psalmist recognizes God as his Maker, seeks understanding in His commandments, and finds hope in His Word when trials press in.This conversation highlights a powerful truth: God's judgments are right, and His afflictions are faithful. His merciful kindness becomes our comfort, His tender mercies sustain our life, and His statutes steady our hearts. As the psalmist prays for a sound heart, the episode urges believers to cling to God's Word so that they, too, may stand unashamed and strengthened through every trial.Join us as we meditate on this portion of Psalm 119 and consider how God uses difficulty to deepen our dependence on Him and shape us into faithful followers of His testimonies.

Psalm 119:169–176, The Shepherd Who Seeks His Wandering Sheep Show Summary In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms on the Servants of Grace podcast, Dave Jenkins walks through the final stanza of Psalm 119 (verses 169–176). After 21 stanzas of longing, delighting, clinging, wrestling, hoping, praising, and persevering in the Word of God, the psalmist closes with a prayer that combines desperation, dependance, and devotion. We see a man who has been shaped by Scripture crying out for understanding, deliverance, worship, and sustaining grace. He acknowledges his proneness to wander, yet clings to the Shepherd who never loses His sheep. This passage reminds believers that true maturity is not independence from God but deeper dependance on His grace. Audio Player Video Player Episode Notes Passage Text: Psalm 119:169–176 Outline A Cry for Understanding (vv. 169–170) Humility is the doorway to biblical clarity. The psalmist knows, loves, and obeys the Word, yet still asks for more understanding. We never outgrow our need for a deeper grasp of God's Word and grace. Praise as the Fruit of Learning (vv. 171–172) “My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes.” Theology leads to doxology: doctrine fuels devotion and worship. True worship flows from the truth God has revealed in Scripture. Dependance Under Pressure (vv. 173–174) Choosing God's precepts does not remove the need for God's help. Longing for salvation and delighting in God's law can coexist. God's finished work in Christ is the ground of our hope and obedience. A Confession of Need and the Shepherd's Pursuit (vv. 175–176) “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant.” This is not proud rebellion but humble acknowledgment of weakness. Sanctification is not self-rescue; it is daily dependance on the Good Shepherd. Theological Themes Prayerful Dependance – The psalmist cries out for understanding, deliverance, and help. Praise Shaped by Revelation – God's teaching produces heartfelt worship. God's Help and Human Obedience – Our choice to follow God's ways increases, not decreases, our reliance on Him. Longing for Salvation – Present delight in God's law and future hope in His salvation meet together. The Shepherd's Pursuit – We are prone to wander, but Christ, the Good Shepherd, seeks and restores His own. Application Self: Confess your weakness and ask God daily for understanding from His Word. Others: Encourage weary or wandering believers with the promise that the Shepherd seeks His sheep. Practice: Begin each day with a simple prayer: “Lord, give me understanding according to Your Word, and keep me close to You.” Memorize: Psalm 119:176 – “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.” Further Study Psalm 23 – The Shepherd who leads and restores. John 10:1–18 – Jesus the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. Hebrews 13:20–21 – The God of peace who equips His people. Isaiah 53:6 – “All we like sheep have gone astray.” Call to Action If this episode encouraged you, please share it with a friend and leave a review on the Servants of Grace podcast to help others find Christ-centered, Scripture-saturated teaching.

In these next eight lines, the Psalmist shows us more of his heart cry for a victory in his trial. I share yet again, some of my theology behind how to correctly categorize “an idol in your heart” that we hear so flippantly used in the church today; we will get into that when I dive into versus 145-146. There seems to be a confidence growing in the Lord in these next eight lines from the Psalmist' heart, some interesting Hebrew we dive into as well, and an extra dose of commentary as well!Josiahmovius12@yahoo.com

In this week's episode of The Word Within, Micah Herbster and Micah Gillespie continue their journey through the ninth stanza of Psalm 119, reflecting deeply on the theme of God's goodness—even in affliction. Building on last week's discussion about the Lord's corrective kindness, they now explore how God can use even the opposition of the wicked to prod His people back toward Himself.Walking verse-by-verse through Psalm 119:69–72, the conversation uncovers the Psalmist's experience with slander, the hardened hearts of the proud, and the striking contrast of the believer's unwavering obedience and delight in God's law. Together, the Micahs consider how affliction can be received as a gracious gift—teaching us God's statutes, shaping us into Christlikeness, and proving that God's Word is more valuable than “thousands of gold and silver.”As we enter the Thanksgiving season, this episode calls us to recognize the often-unexpected ways God works for our good, even through difficulty. Join us as we embrace the goodness of God—especially in the afflictions that lead us closer to Him.

Remembering God's WordPsalm 119:49-80The Village Chapel - 11/23/2025Have you ever found yourself unable to sleep, replaying the questions you can't quite silence? Where is God when the world feels so broken? Why does my heart ache the way it does? And is there a word from Him that can steady me when life shakes me to my core? Psalm 119:49–80 gives language to the longings we all feel—the yearning for hope when we are weary, for comfort when we're hurting, and for clarity when the world around us seems bent on abandoning the ways of God.In these four stanzas—Zayin, Heth, Teth, and Yodh—we meet an ancient songwriter who was no stranger to affliction, opposition, or confusion. Yet instead of turning inward or outward, he turns upward. He rises at midnight to give thanks. He looks back on affliction and says, astonishingly, “It was good for me.” Beneath every cry is a deeper reality: the Word of God is not merely information; it is oxygen. It comforts, confronts, redirects, and renews. And it anchors him—just as it can anchor us—in a world that seems lost in the dark and tossed in turmoil.Join Pastor Jim as he explores this section of Psalm 119 and traces four themes that surface again and again: the ache we all feel, the comfort we all need, the hope that can sustain us, and the final word that can save us. These verses remind us that remembering God's Word is not an academic exercise—it is the way weary pilgrims learn to walk with courage, joy, and unshakeable hope.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

“Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans.” (Psalm 119:91 NLT) In our next set of devotions, we’re going to look at God’s perfections. Our goal is not only to get to know Him better but also to prepare our hearts for Thanksgiving. The more we understand about who God is, the more our gratitude will grow. We’re going to start by looking at God’s sovereignty. The fact that God is sovereign means that He has the power and authority to do anything He chooses with His creation. He answers to no one. Luke’s Gospel tells the story of ten men with leprosy who needed Jesus’ touch. Leprosy was an incurable disease. Without Jesus’ intervention, the men had no hope. They asked Jesus for healing, and He extended it to them. But out of the ten, only one returned to give Him thanks. We read, “One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, ‘Praise God!’ He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan” (Luke 17:15–16 NLT). Earlier, he had prayed loudly for a healing, and then he was loud with his praise. I love the fact that the original language uses two words from which we get our English word megaphone. The man was loud in thanking Jesus for what He had done for him. As Christians, we should give thanks to God because we recognize that He is in control of all circumstances surrounding our lives. As Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps” (NLT). Because God is sovereign, He is able to do what He pleases with whomever He chooses whenever He wishes. Some people bristle at that truth. Control—or even the idea of control—is a difficult thing to surrender. They prefer to operate under the illusion that they control their own destiny. The Bible writers held no such illusions. In fact, they saw God’s sovereignty as something to celebrate—something to be thankful for. The prophet Jeremiah said, “I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course” (Jeremiah 10:23 NLT). And we read in Proverbs 20:24, “The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” (NLT). That’s the sovereignty of God. But what about when bad things happen? Is God still in control? Yes. And the Bible tells us that despite the bad things that happen, which many times are inexplicable, God can work all things together for good for those who love Him (see Romans 8:28). As the psalmist wrote, “Everything serves plans” (Psalm 119:91 NLT). That’s cause for thanksgiving because God’s plans put us exactly where we need to be. We never have to wonder whether we’re doing the right thing when we submit to God. Because He is sovereign, we can trust Him as our ultimate authority.
