TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the June 14th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! On today’s journey through Scripture, your host Hunter guides us through the stories of kings and battles in 1 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 13–14, and finishes with the encouragement-packed Philippians 4. Together, we’ll reflect on the legacy of King Asa, who learned from his father to trust God against impossible odds, and discover how faith in God’s help can lead to overwhelming victory—even when the situation looks dire. In Philippians, we’re reminded not to worry, but to pray with thanksgiving and let the peace of God guard our hearts. Hunter wraps up with a time of prayer and gentle encouragement for your day. So settle in, breathe deep, and let gratitude fill your heart as we journey together through the Word and into God’s presence.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

God helps the powerless against the mighty. That’s the lesson passed down from Abijah to Asa, and now to us. When Asa found himself wildly outnumbered by the Ethiopian army—two to one, with one million men coming against Judah—he remembered what his father had done before him. Abijah had also been outnumbered, had also stood against impossible odds, and in that desperate moment, he cried out to God. God answered, and victory was given. Asa follows that same path: not by his own might, but by calling on the Lord for help.

It’s easy for us to look at overwhelming obstacles—those two-to-one situations in our lives—and feel defeated before the first step, to let fear and anxiety be our first response. But today’s readings remind us that God is with us when the odds do not favor us. He sees, he hears, and he moves on behalf of those who trust him. Our strength is never really in our numbers, in our plans, or in our own hands, but in a God who delights to show himself strong for those who depend on him.

The apostle Paul, too, speaks to this truth. He encourages us not to worry about anything, but in prayer and thanksgiving, to let our requests be made known to God. He promises us God’s peace—a peace that doesn’t make sense to the world—will guard our hearts and minds. That’s not just for the easy days, but for the hard ones. Not just when the sun is shining, but when the odds seem impossible.

Let’s take this lesson into our own lives. When you face what seems insurmountable, when you are outnumbered and overwhelmed, remember: our God helps the powerless against the mighty. Victory belongs to him. Pray, trust, give thanks, and stand firm in God’s peace.

That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the Glory forever and ever. Amen.
