2 Samuel 14:1-15:22, John 18:1-24, Psalms 119:97-112, Proverbs 16:8-9
Today is the 29th day of May welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is awesome to be here with you today around the Global Campfire and its joy to take this next step forward together. So, we…we have been reading from the Evangelical Heritage Version this week. We have been reading in the book of second Samuel. We have been watching really a turn in King David’s family. Nothing was ever the same after…after David took Bathsheba. And, so, in yesterday’s reading one of…one of David’s sons, Amnon, was killed by another son, Absalom because Amnon had raped his sister Tamar. And now Absalom has had to flee, gone back to his grandfather who’s the king of Geshur up near the Galilee, actually not near it…very near the Sea of Galilee. And, so, we will continue with…with Absalom today. Second Samuel 14 verse 1 through 15 verse 22.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for another week. We thank You for almost another month. We thank You for Your faithfulness, Your commitment to training us, to teaching us, to revealing Yourself to us through the Scriptures, to transforming us through the process of sanctification over time. Thank You that that You are remaking us. All things are being made new and that we have permission to just lean back and allow this process and that our part in this process is mostly about surrender and not fighting You. So Holy Spirit, come as…as we conclude another one of our weeks together and continue the journey forward. We ask as we do so often that You continue to lead us into all truth. And we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Every day my way gets brighter. The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows. The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows. The more that I love Him more love He bestows. Each day is like heaven my heart overflows. The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows [singing stops]. Thank you, Lord…
Good morning DABbers brothers and sisters in Christ this is His Child calling from Canada and this morning I’m calling with a prayer request asking that we could all unite our hearts together in prayer for a dear friend of mine. She’s going through radiation right now for cancer and she’s in a lot of pain. So, please I’m asking for your prayer. God knows her name. Thank you so much DABbers. And heavenly Father God this morning I come to You with a humble heart Lord God thanking You for Your mercy, Your grace, love and forgiveness. Thank You, God that You are there, that we can call upon You, that we can cast our cares upon You because we know You care. Lord I pray that each person at this present moment Lord that’s going through life’s struggles Lord, that You will just put Your arms around them and remind them Lord that You are there, and You will never leave nor forsake them. You may not take us out of the things that we go through Lord, but You walk through them with us. Thank You for that promise and that assurance Lord and Father God I pray that You also continue to bless…bless Brian and Jill for the wonderful work that they are doing Lord to further Your Kingdom. And bless each and every person that is listening today. Thank You, Lord for Your love for us in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Good morning DAB this is Nola calling from Grants Pass OR. I’ve been a DAB listener for 14 years and I just want to pray a blessing over this ministry and Brian and his family. It has been a remarkable journey. Still learning to this day. I have a couple of prayer requests. I do…I listened to the woman right before the podcast today. She prayed for her son that knows the Lord, as my son does. His name is Gilbert and he’s out in the world today as hers is and I just pray that the Lord covers him with safety and praying that he brings him home soon to open his eyes to His love. Second of all I’d like to ask for prayer for healing for my left hip. It has been a problem for over a year now and it slowly seems to get worse. I’ve went to doctors I’ve tried everything I can, and I just don’t wanna have surgery. So, I’m praying for healing. So, I just want to say thank you DAB family for all your prayers. I pray for you each day and I am so grateful for this ministry. God bless all of you and God safety. Thank you.
Hi everyone, my name is Kate and I’m calling from France to ask for prayer. Today is May 25th and I just finished listening to the recording for today and I was really touched by…by what we read and by Brian’s reflections. It was…the reading today was about David, King David wanting to build a temple for God. And…and Brian was reflecting on how we, you now, we…how…our inclination to build these boxes and say, “that’s who God is” or to sing worship songs and tell God who He is. And I just felt so…I needed that encouragement and that reminder. And as much as I don’t like the idea of recording and asking for prayer, the proverb also talked about humility and I just felt really challenged to call and ask if…if the Holy Spirit puts it on your heart would you pray for me to…to not be constricted by who I think God is or what I think God wants but really that the Holy Spirit would enable me, equip me, help me to…to just continue to walk with God and experience who He is and to submit to whatever it is that He wants, not what I think He wants but what He actually wants. Would you also pray for…for my husband for the…the work that…that God is doing in his heart to really bear fruit and for our marriage. This has been a challenging season. So would you just lift…lift the both of us and our marriage up. Thank you so much.
