Zechariah 9:1-17, Revelation 17:1-18, Psalms 145:1-21, Proverbs 30:32
Today is the 26th day of December welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is great to be here with you on the day after Christmas day. And welcome to a brand-new shiny sparkly week. This is the last time we will greet a new week in this year. By the time we navigate this week we will have navigated ourselves into a new month and a new year and a brand-new voyage through the Bible. It’s hard to believe but this is the final stretch in this year. And, so, let’s take the next step forward which leads us right to the place where we left off yesterday and that will be back in the book of Zechariah. We’ll read from the English Standard Version this week. And today Zechariah chapter 9.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for this season that we’re in. We’re kind of in this afterglow now of the celebration of Christmas day yesterday. And now we greet a brand-new shiny week. And as with every other week it is out in front of us, we can determine the scope and trajectory of where we’re headed. We have opportunity to make decisions in advance to cling to You, to be aware of Your presence, to be paying attention. And this is a week that we actually really need to do that, not as if any other week isn’t. But this is a week of transition. This is the week that falls between, between Christmas and New Year’s. This is a week when we start thinking the deeper thoughts about our lives and where they are headed and are they headed where we are wanting to go? And, so, we invite Your Holy Spirit, as we navigate this week to speak into those things as we continue this journey, step-by-step, and day by day toward the conclusion of a year and the conclusion of the Scriptures and the beginning of a new year and the beginning of a new journey through the Scriptures. And, so, Holy Spirit we cling to You. We become aware of Your presence. We still ourselves before You. We wait calmly for Your leading and the peace that accompanies Your guidance. Come Jesus we pray. That is our prayer. That was the prayer of so many so long ago looking for a Savior. Come Savior. And we are in the same position now. You have come, You have restored, You have redeemed and we wait Your arrival. So come Jesus we pray. In Your mighty name we ask. Amen.
