TODAY'S EPISODE:

Good day dear ones,

Welcome to the June 21st edition of our journey through the Bible! Today marks day 173, and we’ve been so blessed to have you with us each step of the way. Whether you've been here since day one or just joined us, we're grateful for your companionship in warming our hearts by the fires of God's love.

### Today’s Episode Highlights

- **2 Kings 6-7:** Witness the miraculous events surrounding Elisha— his impressive acts of faith, and God’s provision even in desperate times.

- **2 Chronicles 20:** Join King Jehoshaphat as he prays and finds divine victory against overwhelming odds.

💡 Reflection and Insights:

Hunter guides us through powerful reflections on these passages, emphasizing the mystery of our faith and God’s surprising grace. Whether it’s Elisha’s servant whose eyes were opened to see God's divine army or the enemies who experienced unexpected grace, today’s readings remind us of the mystical and profound nature of God’s love and protection.

### Key Takeaways

- **Faith Beyond Circumstances:** As illustrated in 2 Kings 6, faith gives us the ability to see beyond our immediate struggles to God's greater plan.

- **Divine Intervention:** Chronicles records God's intervention in seemingly impossible situations, encouraging us to seek God’s guidance continually.

• **Character in Leadership:** 1 Timothy 3 outlines essential qualities for leaders, teaching us the importance of living a life of integrity, discipline, and faith.

• ### From Hunter’s Heart

  Sometimes our life of faith feels like navigating a mystery. We see Elisha’s servant's terror turning to awe when God opens his eyes, realizing that divine forces are at work. God’s mysterious grace extends even to those who were once far away, bringing them to a feast, peace, and love. Today, let’s pray for God to open our eyes so we can truly see His goodness and extend His grace to others, near and far.

  ### Join Us Tomorrow

  I look forward to spending more time with you tomorrow as we continue this incredible journey. As always, let’s go forward in God’s joy, remembering that **you are loved**—no doubt about it.

  Until then, take a moment to breathe deeply, look up, and thank God for His creation. Let your heart be filled with gratitude and His joy be your strength.

  Blessings,

  Hunter

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, they 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.
