Paul was a slave, and he didn't even know it. And God came and set Paul free—not by offering a doctrinal formula for him to learn, or by giving him some new insight into scripture even after all his deep studying. No, Paul says, "I received my message from no human source. No one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ." It was God revealing God to Paul. And, friend, that's how it is for all of us. Maybe you did hear a message, maybe you read a book or found yourself opening up to the gospel over time. Those things do happen. But underneath it all, whenever there is true awakening, it is God himself revealing himself—opening eyes, removing the scales, freeing us to see who he is and who we are in him. Chains break, and lies fall away. We begin to see that we were blind—not because of lack of effort or knowledge, but because only Christ can truly open our eyes. Paul's story reminds us: before his encounter with Christ, his vision of God was shaped by lies and misconceptions. He believed in a God obsessed with theological purity, one who would even commission people to kill in His name. But that vision wasn't true; God is not like that. The real God, revealed in Jesus, is the God who values and loves people. He is full of grace and truth and so much grander than our categories or our obsessions with being right. Like Paul, it is only when Jesus reveals himself to us—breaking through our blindness—that we can come to know the God of love and grace who lays down his life for us. This revelation sets us free to live a new kind of life—a life where the chains of deception and shame fall away, and we begin to walk in the light and love of God. The journey of faith is about seeing more of who Jesus really is, and as we do, we are made new. That is my prayer: that my eyes would be opened more and more to the glorious love of our Lord Jesus. That's the prayer I have for myself, for my family, and for you. May your eyes see the true God revealed in Christ, and may that vision change everything. 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
