TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we gather each day to spend time together in the pages of scripture, not simply to check off a reading plan, but to encounter the living Word and be drawn deeper into God's life and love. On this May 20th, day 141 of our journey, Speaker A will guide us through passages from 1 Kings 7, 2 Chronicles 4, Psalm 98, and Romans 2. Today's episode reflects on the grandeur of Solomon's temple, the call to genuine transformation of the heart, and the persistent kindness and faithfulness of God. Join us as we seek not just knowledge, but a changed heart shaped by God's grace—and let's lift our prayers together as a global community, reminded that we are dearly loved children of God.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

An unchanged heart is already judged and condemned. If we are honest with ourselves, we recognize our need for a new heart—something the law and even our own conscience make plain to us. But God's answer is not to leave us helpless in that recognition. Instead, he sends his son to meet us in our darkness, to pursue us in love, to come into the far country where we are lost and alone, and bring us home to himself.

He comes for us—all of humanity—on our behalf, to taste death for all, and in his dying, to defeat death, darkness, and the grave. He drags us out the other side, into resurrection life. We are drawn into God's life, born again, given a new heart that can trust and walk in relationship with God; a heart that is truly changed. This is the evidence that we are the true children of God: that our relationship is founded not on piety or pedigree, but on God's grace revealed in the person and work of Christ.

God has given us the answer to our deepest need, and that answer is his Son. Let us live in the power of Christ our Lord, abiding in him, in his word, in his joy, and in his life. Let this be our prayer: that we would be a people transformed by the grace and mercy of Jesus, living not out of mere effort or tradition, but from a heart made new by his Spirit.

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 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.
