TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this November 5th, 2025 episode, your Bible reading coach and host, Hunter, invites us to journey together through the sacred pages of Scripture. Today, we explore the themes of wisdom and blessing as found in Job chapters 28 and 29, and the heart of the gospel message in Galatians chapters 1 and 2.

Throughout the episode, Hunter guides us in contemplating where true wisdom comes from, reminding us that it cannot be bought or found apart from God. We also reflect on Paul's powerful defense of the gospel and the freedom it offers, encouraging us to turn our focus away from ourselves and onto Jesus, who transforms our lives.

Join us for inspiring scripture readings, thoughtful commentary, heartfelt prayers, and a gentle reminder of God's love. Whether you're new to the journey or a longtime listener, let your soul be strengthened, your imagination renewed, and your hope firmly rooted in Christ. Settle in, open your heart, and let's spend some time together in God's Word.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

The law will turn you in on yourself if you're looking for it to save you. The law misapplied will cause you to keep your focus on you—either how well you are doing, or how miserably you are failing. The focus is the same. In the end, it's all you.

Paul knew all about the law. He was an expert in the law. But what Paul discovered was the Gospel. And the Gospel turns our eyes off of ourselves, redirecting our focus on to Jesus—not what we have done or haven't done, but on Jesus, what He has done and what we have become in Him. Not I, but Christ, says Paul. Because that's what the Gospel does. It turns us outward to God, into the world as the new creatures that we are. Paul says, "I am crucified with Christ, and the life I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." Paul has discovered that his real life is in Christ, not in obedience to the law. And this was his message.

And he would not let anyone distort or change that message—not even Peter. So when Peter began to insist on Gentiles obeying the law of circumcision, he rebuked him publicly. Where are you looking? Inward, onto yourself? Are you looking to your own piety to get you in the good graces of God? Or are you looking outward, away from yourself and onto Jesus—the One who loves you and who is with you, the One who has made you and reclaimed you? Look to Him. Keep your eyes focused on Him, and don't let the law or anyone move your gaze anywhere else.

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 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
