Today is the 12th day of February welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it’s great to be here with you today, today and every day. And we are reaching the conclusion of another one of our weeks together. But we are continuing our journey forward misleads us back into the book of Exodus where we are learning the customs and rituals and obligations and covenants and rituals and everything that will form and shape a new culture out in the wilderness. Today Exodus chapter 34 verse 1 through 35 verse 9.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. And as we approach in the Gospel of Matthew Your death, today Your sentencing to death and You’re beating and being led away, the mockery, the slapping, the beating, the spitting, the betrayal, we are watching the worst of humanity, and we are watching You endure the worst of humanity, That we might have another option, rather than missing the fact that You are present we have been given permission at any time to come into Your presence because of what we are reading here. You endured our worst so that we could be restored to the way we were created to be, that there is a pathway for us. And we confess that although we walk that path we deviate and move in and out of it all of the time. And as we focus upon Your resoluteness to obey Your father and set us free, we are grateful. And we ask Holy Spirit that You help our lives to reflect our gratitude. And we pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Good morning, everyone it’s Susan from Canada God’s Yellow Flower calling, and I want to respond to Ivy from Missouri. My dear sweetheart I have lost or outlived two husbands and believe you me the second is not…is not any easier than the first. And, yeah, it’s so painful, I know. I will never do it again. It took me 17 years to remarry and…and once he passed, I thought that’s it I’m done. It’s so difficult. But my dear sweetheart, you’re right. One step at a time, one day at a time, one little bit at a time. But you have to move on. I know it’s hard with COVID all over, but you have to cross that line, leave the past in the past and walk on faith and trust into the future and slowly build a life for yourself. Don’t let Satan win by keeping you down and…and depressed. Move forward dear sweet. I’m praying for you. Lord God encourage this young lady and just help her to take those steps on faith and trust in You leading the way dear God, just bless…bless her life with much goodness, much happiness, and much laughter. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Good morning, everyone it’s Karen and Saint Louis. Thanks so much Brian for this ministry. Thank you all for encouragement and prayers. I’m asking today if you would pray for an old friend of mine, Steve. I got a message from him letting me know that he has about three months left to live. He has had cancer for…gosh…I don’t know five years or so and he is a radical atheist. So, he went to church as a child. He got baptized when he was probably around 12 years old, and he turned away from it and he literally…it’s one of those things where he actually kind of disciple’s people for atheism. But he has a Bible. I hope he still has it. I know that a friend gave him one many years ago, talked to him about Jesus. And he was tight with that guy and eventually that person doesn’t have a relationship with him, and he thinks that it’s because he wasn’t able to convince him to be a Christian. I don’t think he understands the spiritual component of being a Christian. Anyway, just pray that the Lord would soften his heart, that he would be prepared to receive Him, that maybe he would get that Bible out and he would crack it open. I just think about what I became a believer. It was me getting my old Bible out that my grandma gave me as a child. And the word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword. So, please pray for Steve. Thank you so much. Thank you, Brian. God bless you and have a great week.
This call is for Ivy from Missouri. I heard your call today and I just want you to know that I relate to where you are at. I too lost my husband two years ago and my heart just goes out to you because I understand exactly what you’re going through. I’ll pray for you. My name is Karen. I’ll pray for you. You pray for me, that the Lord will sustain us little by little. I love the fact that you said that you are in His grip. I too am in his grip. And I appreciate Daily Audio Bible so much because it’s given me strength little by little, day by day to trust the Lord with all my heart and not to lean on my own understanding. Ivy, you have people praying for you.
Hi Daily Audio Bible this is Joanna from the Pacific Northwest. I just listened to an episode from February 9th and felt really encouraged by what Brian said and also by all of you who called in afterwards praying along with you. Thankful for you. And I have a prayer request I’d love to share with you all. My husband and I we’ve been married for a few years and have hoped to add to our family, but it hasn’t happened yet. And we’ve had a lot of words from the Lord, a lot of prayers about this in this season of life. And just it’s hard not to get discouraged and to keep hoping. And also, I would really love your prayers for my coworkers. I…we…my husband and I both work for a campus ministry and it feels a bit like there’s a…a dark cloud over a ministry in terms of having babies. In the last two years we’ve had four babies that were born either premature or right on their due date and then passed away and two miscarriages and lots of infertility. So…but divided among our few coworkers. And we’re not a huge team too so it…it’s felt like a big hit. So, if you could just, if you could pray for our team and for this to be lifted off of us, for the Lord to break off whatever Satan has attached to us and the way he’s trying to get at us we would be so grateful. So, love you all. Bye.
