Numbers 30:1-31:54, Luke 4:1-30, Psalm 63:1-11, Proverbs 11:20-21
Today is the 20th day of March, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian and here we are at the threshold of a brand-new, sparkly, shiny week and off we go into it, moment-by-moment, step-by-step, choice-by-choice, conversation-by-conversation, we construct the story of what this week is gonna look like. And I guess I say this most every week cause I’m reminding myself of the same thing, fresh starts are important, His mercies are new every morning, including today. So, as we begin this week, we certainly will pick up right where we left off, which leads us back into the Book of Numbers. We will conclude the Book of Numbers this week and we are hearing a number of instructions, laws, statutes, being offered and they are being offered to this emerging generation, because transition happening here. Moses has been leading the children of Israel all the way, since they left Egypt; he will not be leading them into the Promised Land, he is with them in the wilderness. His successor has been named; his name is Joshua although he has not taken hold of leadership of the children of Israel. Moses is still with them. That’s where we find ourselves. This week we’ll read from the God’s Word Translation, Numbers chapters 30 and 31.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for this brand-new week, this sparkly, shiny new week that we are moving into and we thank You for Your kindness and Your graciousness to us, Your patience with us, Your unending love for us. When we sit and push away all of the thoughts and cares of this life and just sit with the fact that You love us, that You have us, that You know us, that You are with us. It changes everything and we thank you for that. So, as we move into this new week, we invite Your Holy Spirit to speak to us, to guide us and direct us, to make our paths straight and clear, we ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Prayer and Encouragements:
Grace, you called in on March 16th, this is Susie from Colorado. I wanted to tell you I heard your message and I’m so certain that the entire family who was listening are praying for you, Grace, with your situation of bullying at work. I am praying that the people who are doing this would look at you and see you and see your heart and that you would actually have a breakthrough that they would hug you, love you. It may not happen on this side of Heaven, Grace but I just know that I heard you. I’m praying for you. I’m so sorry that this is happening. I work in Haiti and I am bullied all the time by political figures who, you know. I constantly fight for my licenses to be a missionary there or to work in and run schools and orphanages and hospitals. I struggle with bullies too but you, my dear sister, please now that we are, those who are with us, Jesus is with us and it’s so much more powerful than those bullies and something in them is broken. So, you keep praying for them, we’ll pray for them to but I’m definitely for you too Grace. God Bless.
Hello DAB. I’m calling on March 14th. I am calling in response to a listener named Gracie, she’s talking about bullies and I just want to say stand firm. Throughout the Bible there is bullies everywhere. I mean, look at David during Goliath and everything, just a bully. David had to stand firm. Jesus, with the Pharisees and everything, Jesus had to stand firm. I mean, throughout the Bible we have these examples of just bullies being bullies. And it’s our job to stand firm on the word of God and recognize that God wins these battles and He’s always victorious so, no matter what happens, remember God is the one victorious. And as long we stand firm on the word, nothing can tear us down a day. Have a good day, Gracie. I’m praying for you.
Hey DABers, it’s your girl, Val in Vegas. It’s the 16th, I’m a day late, y'all forgive me please. Oh, give me the grace thank you, thank you, family. I know you all will.

So, I know how we roll. We a first fruits kind of family. You know what I’ve been doing in these last couple years is, I set up a little prayer room and whoo, after I drop my friends off, I get right to it. Okay, I get on my knees and I find that it builds me up for the day, it gets me ready. And so, I got to remember to put the 15th in that repertoire after that prayer time with the Lord. Get on it, reach out to my family members, let this community know how much you guys mean to me and how much I’m praying for every single person. Whoo, y'all want to know what heavens going be like, much like this, the transparency, the honesty, the caring for one another. The lack of no condemnation, the way that we gird each other up. So, let’s do it, let’s do it. Let’s continue to be those people and please lets continue to give to this organization, to this ministry, to this family, to this thing that God has blessed us with. I love you all and I’ll see you on the 15th. I need you to go with the love of the Lord, the love of the Lord and I want you to spread it, spread it, spread it, take it near and far. The Lord’s has made us fishers of men, let’s go get’em. In the name of Jesus. Val from Vegas signing out. Love you.
Hey, this goes out to Grace, this is Micah in Awe. I believe I remember your prayer, asking for help with the bullies. And I’m so sorry to hear that this is still going on. Just know that you have one brother at least out here, well you have many, many people praying for you and I believe that you’ll get a big outcry of prayer, even in the recordings. It was really hard not to hear your heart and how much you’re suffering and Lord, I just ask now, Lord, please in Jesus name, heal the situation Lord. Take the people away that need to be removed and let this lady have some peace and joy in her life. Lord, she loves you. She’s asking for prayer. Lord be the lion and remove anything that stands in the way of her peace and joy, Lord. Help her to be comfortable at work. Help her to be able to do her job without any distraction. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Hello, this is Joyfully Jo and I’m calling to pray for Grace whose prayer request was at the end of the March 6th reading from the Daily Audio Bible. Lord God, I just lift up Grace to You, Father. Father, I pray against these bullies Lord God, I pray that You would intervene, Lord God, on behalf of Grace, Lord, that Lord, You would surround her with Your angels Lord God, that You would bring their bullying to nothing, Lord God, that You would change the situation, Father, that Your mighty hand would reach out to rescue her. Father, I know You love her. I know You care for her Father. I know that You do not want her to be bullied Lord God. I know You use these things in our life God to grow us Lord God, but she is so just in despair, Lord God. She’s so despondent right now Father. I pray that You bring people in her life that will lift her up and encourage her Father. Lord God, and I pray that you bind the enemy’s work through these people, Lord God, I pray for their salvation and I pray that You just bring an end to this bullying, Father. It breaks my heart to hear her cries, Lord God. But You are God and You are sovereign, You are able Lord God, to change this in her life, Lord. In Jesus name. Amen.
