2 Samuel 9:1-11:27, John 15:1-27, Psalms 119:49-64, Proverbs 16:1-3
Today is the 26th day of May. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian. It is great to be here with you as we walk into a brand-new week together and it’s kind of something that we remind each other most every week. Nothing’s happened yet…just…like the week is out in front of us and we get to live into this new week however, it is that we choose. It’s a fresh start. And as we continue to allow God’s word to speak to us and inform our choices and decisions well, then we walk the narrow road that leads to life. So, I’m excited to spend the next week in God’s word with you. We’ll continue our journey through the book of second Samuel during this week and continue the journey alongside King David. We’ll be reading from the New International Version this week. And today, second Samuel chapters 9 through 11.
Prayer:
Father, at the beginning of this week we take into heart the last thing that was just sent from Your word, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” And, so as we enter this new week, we commit Lord, to You, all that we will do and we invite the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth that Jesus was just talking to us about from the Gospel of John and ask that You lead us into all truth, and that You will show us when we begin to take back the reins and stop committing whatever we do to You. Come Holy Spirit we pray into this brand-new week we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hello, my beautiful Daily Audio Bible family, this is Candace from Oregon recovering from total hip replacement. I’ll tell you what, it’s arduous. It takes some patience but it’s going really well. Would you pray with me? Lord, thank You so much, thank You for the gospels that we’re finishing now, the gospel of John. Thank You for all the commentaries from Brian Hardin and how importantly life changing they are for us. Lord, would You help us? Would You help us each one to do only good and not harm on all Your holy mountain? Like You say in Isaiah 11, “May the earth be filled with Your goodness as the waters cover the sea.” It says, in the home and Christian Standard Bible in Isaiah 11:9, “no one will harm nor destroy another on my entire holy mountain for the land will be as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is filled with water.” Forgive us Lord for what we’ve done, like disobeying You and falling from Your grace. We thank You that at the cross You made this heaven possible once again that You made us for. Thank You Lord Jesus You have been so good and so gracious to us. Teach us also how to have grace for one another in Jesus’ name. Amen. Candace from Oregon.
Hi this is White as Snow calling from Tennessee, this is my first time calling and it’s my second year going through the DAB and I’m just blessed that God led me to this podcast. I’d like to thank all the people behind the scenes that make it possible, all their hard work. And I was just calling asking prayer for my brother Don. He’s in his late 50s, he’s mentally ill for about 30 years. He’s basically paranoid and misinterprets what people say and he seems to be getting worse as he’s getting older and I’d just like prayer for wisdom, discernment, you know, how best to help him and just, you know, that God’s will produce complete healing. And I just thank you for your prayers.
Hey DAB family this is Byron out in Florida. I was listening to the community prayers and I heard Catherine in Maryland, your call, thank you so much for praying for my wife and for her complete healing. That really touched me. It’s telling because you mentioned also that you’re praying for her peace and comfort. And almost around the same time that you were probably calling in my wife and I were having a conversation about just that, comfort, and about how I can do a better job comforting her. I do a lot for my wife because of her sickness. I spend a lot of time with the kids while she rests, I do a lot of work around the house and spend a good amount of money and medication and therapies and various doctor’s appointments and whatnot. And, so, I feel like I do a lot but apparently, I can do more to comfort her. And it’s interesting because I can’t do anything about my wife’s sickness, about my wife’s pain and the exhaustion that she feels but apparently there is something I can do to make her feel better and it’s really telling that you were praying for her comfort because I think the Lord heard that prayer and allowed me to accept that guidance without any kind of offense or defensiveness that I might’ve usually mustered up because of all the stuff that I am doing. And it allowed me to realize that my wife needs something additional and more. And, so, I covet your prayers and the rest of the community’s prayers in that regard. Because I’m not terribly good at all the emotional stuff and if there’s something that’s my wife really needs I want to be able to give that. And we’ll get there by the grace of God and prayers of the community. But I just wanted to mention that. It was cool that you were praying for that at the that same time we were talking about it and made a big difference. Love you all. Bye.
Hi, DAB, I am a listener and I am calling to today…it’s so hard…for my daughter-in-law delivered a grandchild 7 ½ weeks early. He’s okay. He had a little bit of breathing problem. they think he might’ve swallowed some fluids but it’s been six days now and he still can’t come home but he has developed jaundice in a bad way they call it __ or something, I’m not quite sure but they tried for 10 years to have this baby and had to go through fertility clinic and all kinds of money and it finally went through and two weeks ago some people tried to do an invasion of their house with masks on and I believe that stress is what caused…maybe because the early delivery. They wanted to get in. I guess the cops were able to catch the three suspects at another place but in the meantime, nobody can’t hold him, nobody can see him. He weighs 5 lbs. 4 oz. and he’s only 2 pounds now. They said he could very well…they don’t believe his liver is fully developed yet. So, but I trust in the Lord and…
