TODAY'S EPISODE: Introduction Welcome, dear friends, to the Daily Radio Bible for April 12th, 2026. On this 102nd day of our journey through the Scriptures, Speaker A invites us to open our hearts and minds as we explore the richness of God's Word together. Today's readings come from 1 Samuel 13, as we witness Saul's early reign and his challenges; from 1 Chronicles 2 and 3, tracing the lineages of Israel and David; and from 2 Corinthians 12, where Paul shares deeply about his own weakness and the sufficiency of God's grace. Joined by Speaker B and Speaker C, we not only listen, but pause to reflect, pray, and discover how God meets us in our moments of need—reminding us of His presence, strength, and love. Whether you're seeking clarity, comfort, or just a moment to be still, this episode is an invitation to be encouraged and to walk forward knowing that you are never alone and deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What is it you find yourself wanting right now? If you slow down long enough to notice, it's there. Something you wish would change. Something you wish would come with ease. Maybe it's relief. Maybe it's clarity. Maybe it's something for someone you love. Paul knew that place. He doesn't speak about it in the abstract—he names it plainly. There was something in his life that hurt, something that stayed, something that he asked God to take away again and again. He wasn't detached or above it all; he was feeling it the way we feel it. He calls it his thorn in the flesh. We don't know exactly what it was. And maybe that's part of the gift—it leaves room for us to recognize our own thorns. What's striking is not just that Paul asked, but that the answer he received didn't come in the form he hoped for, because the thorn remained. But something else opened—not a better outcome, not a cleaner resolution, but a deeper knowing. "My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in weakness." This isn't God withholding something better; it's God drawing near in a way Paul hadn't yet known. Grace isn't a substitute prize. It's the presence of God meeting Paul right in the place he wanted to escape. And over time, Paul began to see it not as something to celebrate in itself, but as a place where he is not alone, where the life of God meets him, sustains him, and even holds him in the aloneness. Perhaps the aloneness is the most traumatic part of that thorn-shaped wound. So he says, almost surprisingly, that he will boast in his weakness—not because weakness is good, but because it has become a place of encounter, a place where the aloneness can be undone. Maybe the invitation isn't to stop wanting or to pretend that the thorn doesn't matter. Maybe it's to notice where even here you are being met. Not fixed, not bypassed—but met. And the prayer today is not that everything changes, but that we might have eyes to see what is already being given: the quiet, steady presence of God, of grace, the nearness of God in the very place we would rather avoid. That we would not miss it. That we would receive it, and allow him to undo the aloneness. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family. 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, ...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, join your Bible reading coach, Speaker A, as we journey through pivotal moments in Scripture. We'll witness Saul's courageous rescue of Jabesh Gilead and Samuel's heartfelt charge to Israel from 1 Samuel 11-12, explore the sweeping genealogies in 1 Chronicles 1, and listen to Paul's passionate words in 2 Corinthians 11—where he shares about strength found in weakness and God's presence in times of trial. Together, we'll reflect on these passages, find encouragement in prayer, and discover what it means to see God's faithfulness no matter our circumstances. Whether you're new or have been journeying with us from the start, it's a joy to read, pray, and grow alongside you on this 102nd day through the Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's an upside down world. Paul is being lowered in a basket through a hole in the wall outside of the city, and as he's being lowered, God is lifting him up. We are being invited into an upside down world—a world where those who are lowered down are, in God's mysterious way, being lifted up, while those who lift themselves up are being lowered from within. Paul, in his letter, briefly recounts his own elevated days, that he was, as he says, like those super apostles. But Paul wants us to see that this outward elevation, this status, did nothing for his soul. In fact, while outwardly ascending, he was descending on the inside. Paul tells us his defining moments with God weren't in highlights of status or achievement, but rather in the deep descents—when he was accused, scorned, whipped, stoned, shipwrecked, left hungry and alone. It was there, in the moments of his greatest lowering, like when he was being let down in a basket outside the city, that God's presence was most real and God's strength most evident. The lowering did not defeat him; instead, it was the place where he experienced God's intimate love. God does his deepest work in our lowering. The world may tell us differently, and even super apostles may try to convince us the way up is always up—but we are reminded: See God in the lowering. Experience the fellowship of his suffering. There—in struggle, in humility, in weakness—he is faithful to bring about his good purposes in all our circumstances. And that is the prayer for my own soul today: that I will participate with God in faith, even in the lowering. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Episode Introduction Welcome, dear ones, to the Daily Radio Bible for April 10th! On day 101 of our journey through the scriptures, Speaker A guides us through pivotal moments in 1 Samuel chapters 8–10 and 2 Corinthians chapter 10. Together, we witness Israel's clamor for a king and Saul's unexpected anointing, exploring the tension between outward appearance and the true nature of the heart. In Paul's letter, we hear about God's mighty weapons for overcoming strongholds of human reasoning. The episode closes in prayer and reflection, inviting us to say yes to God's simple, transformative work in our lives. Join us as we seek to live in the abundant joy and identity found in Christ, embracing soul work and the assurance that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Saul had the stature of a king, but he didn't feel like it. Not on the inside, not in his heart. Others saw his physical stature, but God was looking at his heart. The people wanted a king, but God wanted a heart. So when the Spirit of God came upon Saul, the Scriptures tell us that that's what God did—he changed his heart. Saul's part was simply to say yes to this gift of life, to begin to see himself for who he now was. He was chosen. He was a leader. He was God's anointed king. But deep down, there were things that kept him from truly embracing who God said he was. He felt like an imposter. He hid in the baggage, fleeing from all of it. Saul couldn't see it. There was a part of him that worked against himself and who he really was. He was tortured with internal contradictions, and his life was marked by anguish. Things were always complicated for Saul, but the life he had been awakened to wasn't complicated. It was simple. It didn't require him to be tortured and anguished. It simply required him to say yes to God. Thank you, God. I invite you to live your life through me today. God, whatever that life may entail—when a person does that, they begin to live like a king. And it simply requires a yes to the new thing that God has done, to the new heart. A heart that would simply trust, a heart that would be free. God is offering all of us something very simple today. Who you really are is hidden with God in Christ. You are who he says you are. You don't need to power up. You don't need to bluster or fake your way through to live up to the expectations of others. You can simply rest in him. You can say yes and thank you. You can choose to believe. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul today. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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.
