One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved.

TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for February 28th, 2026! In this episode, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, guides us through a significant stretch of scripture, exploring Numbers chapters 24 through 27 and the well-loved passage of 1 Corinthians 13. Together, we uncover stories of blessing, rebellion, and hope from Israel's wilderness journey—including Balaam's prophecy, the consequences of idolatry, a new census, and the bold petition of Zelophehad's daughters. We also witness the passing of leadership from Moses to Joshua.

Shifting to the New Testament, we're reminded by Paul's poetic words that love is the greatest virtue of all—outlasting even faith and hope. Hunter reflects on the challenge of seeking clarity in life and scripture, and invites us to hold tightly to the peace Christ offers, even as our understanding remains incomplete.

The episode closes with a time of heartfelt prayer, encouragement to walk in God's love and joy, and a special thank you to the listeners who make this daily journey possible. Get ready for a thoughtful, hope-filled exploration of God's Word—and a reminder that, above all, you are loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

We see things as a puzzling reflection, Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13. And as we move through passages like today's readings in Numbers, it's clear that our understanding—of God, of ourselves, and of our journey—can often feel incomplete, mysterious, even perplexing. The days of our lives, the choices we make, the events that unfold: all of it can sometimes seem like a riddle, a story only half-told.

But the invitation of God is not to clarity and certainty in this life, but to peace. Christ invites us to rest in his embrace, even (and especially) while things are unclear. He calls us to discover his way of love, to value faith and hope and love above all things. "These are the greatest things," we are reminded. Our task is not to figure it all out—because, as we read, knowledge is partial and incomplete. Instead, our task is to keep our eyes fixed on Christ, to learn his way of love, and to offer that same love to the world.

Beyond clarity today is Christ himself—who stands with us in the midst of uncertainty, who brings us peace that passes understanding, who encourages and strengthens us in every circumstance. It is Christ who helps us to endure, to remain hopeful, and above all, to love—because love endures through every circumstance.

So, let's keep our eyes on him. Let's trust that, in God's good time, all things will become clear, and all will be well when Christ is all and in all. In the meantime, let faith, hope, and love be our guiding lights.

That's the prayer for my own soul. 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.
