2 Chronicles 21:1-23:21, Romans 11:13-36, Psalms 22:1-18, Proverbs 20:7
Today is the 28th day of July. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian. It’s great to be here with you as we turn the knob and walk into this a brand-new, shiny, sparkly week together. And as we’ve mentioned a couple of times, we won’t get out of this week without getting into a brand-new month. So, we set our sights on the new week knowing that it’s a week of transition for us. Every week we switch translations. We were reading from the New English Translation last week. This week we’ll read from the Common English Bible and obviously we will pick up right where we left off, which brings us back into the book of second Chronicles. Today, second Chronicles chapters 21 through 23.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for what You’ve given us in the gift of the Scriptures, something no matter what’s going on in our lives, no matter how foggy it is, no matter how murky it is, no matter how hard it is or for that matter, no matter how easy it is, we have this gift. We can always turn to this, this is a tangible thing that we can hold in our hands and its words speak into the recesses of our souls and inform the way we live our lives. And, so, we are supremely grateful to You for this. And as we begin this new week and even prepare to end the month and begin a new month before this week is out, we invite Your Holy Spirit to plant the words from the Scriptures in our minds and in our hearts and allow them to do just what we said, inform the way we live our lives. We humble ourselves before You. We commit our ways to You, and we ask that You would lead us into all truth, as was promised in the Scriptures. Come Holy Spirit we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Announcements:
dailyaudiobible.com is home base, it is where you find out what’s happening around here. And, so, it’s a good place to stay tune and connected.
If you’re using the Daily Audio Bible app, you can pretty closely do most everything you can do at dailyaudiobible.com by just pressing the Drawer icon in the upper left-hand corner.
But, you know, at dailyaudiobible.com the Prayer Wall lives there. People are praying for each other and asking for prayer on a continual basis.
In the Community section of the website is all the links to the different social media channels. So for example, all of the places where women of the Daily Audio Bible are interacting, like Jill continually is posting encouragement and those of you who follow along with that know-how that that’s some powerful stuff that’s going on there among the women. And, so, links to those channels, Facebook, Instagram, etc., etc., are there. It’s a good idea to follow Daily Audio Bible on some of these channels just…not because we’re constantly posting annoying content but because we’re just trying to post reminders of what we’ve read, because it’s so easy to, you know, to come around the global campfire together and feel a sense of community and hear God speak to us, but forget it in 10 minutes because life has a crush to it, right? Like we step back into the fray and it just washes us down the stream. So, just try to post things that are reminders and, you know, if there are any issues or whatever. So, that’s a good place to go, the Community section. Find all those links.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hello Daily Audio Bible family this is Catherine calling from Maryland. I have a prayer request and an offer of prayer today. So, first offer of prayer. Demetrius, you called July 19th and you seemed pretty much at the end of your rope, but you are hopeful, you called. All decisions have consequences. Sometimes we make bad decisions and we get bad consequences in life and that can happen again and again but sometimes we make good decisions and we get good consequences in life. So, you have your beloved children, your five children that you called to ask for prayer, and we will keep them in prayer, and you made the good decision to call this community. You have no idea how amazing and powerful this community is. So, it was wonderful that you were led to us and to give a call and ask for prayer. And, so, you are now in the prayers, the prayers of thousands of people Demetrius so that there’s hope for you. There’s hope for you to be the father that your children want you, to be spend time with them and see them if they want and your life can be a blessing…will be a blessing. God does make no junk now. He makes everyone special. There’s a reason you’re here. So, __ Demetrius. Okay. And also my prayer request I like to ask for prayer __ . Okay, bye family. Love you. Bye.
Hey Daily Audio Bible. I’m calling in because I have insomnia and it’s not getting any better and I pray to God every day all the time for intervention that He would take away my affliction, but it’s not happened yet, and I think He must be using it for a higher purpose. But please pray for me. And I’m Roxie from Idaho and thank you Daily Audio Bible for all that you do, Brian Hardin and your family. And thank you very much. In Jesus’ name. Goodbye.
Hi, I’m calling for the brother in Kansas whose wife left with his kids, went onto Iowa. Brother, man, I’m there. And I just first want you to know you’re not alone. I’m praying for you, just, you know, going through something very similar. I want to encourage you first to lean into Jesus hard, pursue him with everything you have. Personal worship, read His word, pray, you know, to connect with other Christians because He is worth it, He is actually the treasure He says He is, and He will comfort you. Father God, please…please God wrap your arms around my brother. Lord, please love on him, please encourage him. Please give him hope Lord. False hope…concerning his family, but hope that You are there, You understand his pain, You do have a good plan for his life, and he will achieve that. And Lord I pray that You would just pursue him with all of Your will, with all of Your heart and it’s in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Hi, this prayer is for Carla from California. Sister, I heard your prayer and I understand the pressure that you are feeling right now. I have been there and just the opposition. And I could hear in your voice the opposition to even pray and you’re fighting through it. And, so, in the name of Jesus I want to go to war with you right now. Let’s go to war. Heavenly Father, God, I ask that You would, please send a detachment of angels to go and rescue Carla. Lord Jesus, she is under attack. Father God we know that You have identified us as Your sons and Your daughters, and that You do not stand for Your children to be treated like this. So, Father, I ask in the name of Jesus Christ that You would…You would find and castaway these spiritual attacks, these spirits of oppression that are on my sister Lord. Father, please, we beg You in the name of Jesus Christ to rescue and deliver her. We pray this in Your name. Amen.
Hi family this is His Little Sherry in Canada and I appreciate everyone who calls in but there’s something really special about the men who call in either to pray for people or to leave prayer requests. And I just think there’s someone listening to this who needs to be encouraged to be brave. And, so, this is for you. My child walk with me into your nighttime and take my hand. Walk with me past the garden shadows in the nighttime sounds. Feel the strength of this safety, the thrill of this danger as I go with you into the outside, we’re you’ve never dared to go before. You are my summer child growing tall and fearless and I am the Father who knows you. Come with me my boy, my rough-and-tumble friend into the warm evening and I will show you how to be brave like me. I will show you the stars and the creatures and teach you their names. You’ve seen them from your bed, your pale face peering out the window into the unknown. I can give you the unknown things, the things that have come to you only in dreams and I can show you how to tame them. I will go with you. I will go with you as you grow, and the darkness will open to your coming like a hand opens to a friend. Don’t be afraid. I have you little warrior. Walk with me and let’s see what we can conquer.
