TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, Florence Atiega kicks things off with a heartfelt community greeting, reminding us all that we are loved. As we continue our 261st day in the journey through the Bible, we dive deep into Ezekiel chapters 42 through 44, where detailed visions of the temple layout, the holiness of God’s dwelling, and the responsibilities of the priests take center stage. We then soar to the breathtaking promises found in Revelation 22, where John describes the crystal-clear river of life and the ultimate restoration and glory awaiting God’s people.

As always, we reflect on God’s word, letting it shape and transform us. Florence leads us in thoughtful prayer, inviting God’s presence, peace, and mercy into our day. The episode also features warm check-ins from listeners around the world before a grateful shout-out to the faithful supporters who make this daily podcast possible.

Whether you’re joining from Maryland or the far reaches of the globe, settle in—let’s soak in the Scriptures together, discover God’s heart, and remember this powerful truth: you are loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

John sees a river called life. It’s crystal clear—radiant, transparent, a perfect reflection of the truth and beauty found in the One who is Life itself. John invites us to join him, to look together into those crystal waters and behold something marvelous: the very glory of God, revealed as in a mirror. In that vision, we not only see God as He truly is but also discover ourselves as we truly are—loved, cherished children of God.

Paul, in 2 Corinthians, tells us that as we behold God's glory, we are being transformed “from glory to glory.” The veils that have obscured God’s true heart, all the lies that have separated us from Him and plunged us into darkness and despair—those will be removed. The day is coming when we’ll see with clear, unveiled faces. In that moment, seeing the face of Jesus, we will discover the deepest hope of our hearts: that we belong, that we bear the family resemblance, that we are His.

John tells us the river of life is not just for a future day. Even here and now, as we look to Jesus through the Scriptures, as we meditate on His goodness and see His fingerprints in creation, those veils begin to lift. Day by day, we gain greater clarity of who God is—and who we are in Him. As we let His Word and His presence wash over us, we are transformed to live as His beloved. Every moment spent in His presence is a glimpse of that crystal river, a taste of the unveiled life that is to come.

That’s a prayer I have for my soul—may I see with unveiled face. It’s a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it’s a prayer I have for you. May we all come to the river and see, and know, and reflect the glory of the Lord.

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.
