Deuteronomy 34:1 - Joshua 2:24, Luke 13:22-14:6, Psalms 79:1-13, Proverbs 12:26
Today is the 10th day of April welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it’s wonderful to be here with you today. It always is wonderful when come to the threshold of a brand-new week and swing open the door and walk through it together and sense of fresh start. It’s all out in front of us waiting for us to live. We get to live this week and tell the story of God…God’s goodness with our lives. And speaking of new beginnings we have a new beginning today. So, we will conclude the book of Deuteronomy which means we will conclude the Torah or the Pentateuch, which means we will complete the first grouping of books in our year. And, so, if we’ve been using the Daily Audio Bible app and checking off our days we’ll see, we’ll get the tour badge. We’ll see that we have accomplished this grouping of books, which invariably means we will be moving it at some new territory. So, we’ll finish Deuteronomy today and begin the next book, which is the book of Joshua. And we’ll talk about that in a few minutes, but first we’re reading from the good news translation this week. Deuteronomy chapter 34.
Introduction to the book of Joshua:
Will transcribe later today…
Prayer:
Father, we thank you for your word and we thank you for this brand-new shiny sparkly week that we are entering and we thank you for this transition into some new territory in the story that we’ve been following. Now we are looking into the promised land. Now we have this new leader. And, so, Holy Spirit come as we move into that, into those stories and to those people’s lives, that you would allow the Scriptures to be a mirror into our own souls, and that you lead and guide and direct us on the narrow path that leads to life. We pray this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
Community Prayer and Praise:
Hello DABbers this is Judy I’m calling from New York and I just want to lift God’s Chosen from Georgia up in prayer. I felt you sister. I felt you. I know what it means to walk in the wilderness, to have such difficult times in our lives and to feel like God is not with us. You know, that is the lies of the enemy when he comes to us and wants to show us how we are alone, and God is not with us, that’s the enemy. I pray sister that you will feel Him lifting you up. He is your Jehovah Jireh. He is enough. He is enough sister. He is enough and He will pull you through whatever it is that you are going through whatever it is that you’re struggling with. He knows, He sees, He feels, and He will pull you up sister. Do not give up. Do not give in. Keep pressing on even if it means crawling. Do it. Keep pressing on. God loves you very much. God loves you sister. I felt you because I’ve been there. I’ve been there. I’ve been there. And the name of Jesus. Amen.
Hi this is Daddy’s Girl from Wichita KS April the 5th. I was listening to the Community Prayer on April the second when I heard a heart crying out saying I’m not OK I’m not OK. It was a woman whose mother died in 2013. She said her mother had been sick for a while and she had a chance to be alone with her. She whispered in her ear and said it’s OK go, be with Jesus, that she and her siblings would be OK. And shortly after that her mother died. She said after that she has not been OK since. She needs her mom. As my husband and I were listening to her story I asked the Lord what should I do for her. This is what came to me. Just hold her in the spirit as a mother would. Just hold her close in my arms and rock her and pat her on her back and say you are OK, you are OK. It’s going to be OK. Whisper in her ear it is OK to live. Your mom is OK and she wants you to live and be happy. Don’t worry about her. It took a lot of courage to let your mom go to Jesus. She knew you would be OK. The devil has been telling you all these years that you were wrong to let her go. No. You did the right thing. Weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning. Let go and let God bring you into His joy. Your mom is OK. So, when you start to see and feel better and know you’re OK your relationship with your daughter will get better and will become OK. God bless you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Hello this is Jeff from Canada I am part of a DAB family but I’m also part of the DAB Kids family. My two sons and I listen every single night to Ezekiel and whoever attends, and I just want to tell you community if you are…if you have children and you are not going through the…the new testament in a year with Ezekiel you need to do it. He’s doing a great job. It’s actually been very fantastic for us. We’ve been been able to learn a lot about the scriptures and talk and pray about that. Wanted to first of all play pray for Annie. It’s April the 6th and you said you’re part of the DAB Kids and your brother had a fight with your mom and had left. And we’re just praying for your brother that he will come home and God would touch his heart in Jesus’ name. And just wanted to say thank you Ezekiel. You’re doing an amazing job and we’re super excited to do our nightly devotions in reading the word of God with you and your family. God bless.
Hey siblings it’s your little sis His little Cherry in Canada. Beloved in Boston soon to be beloved in… I am praying for you. I heard your message how your family is calling feeling caught to moved thousands of miles away from your people and your church. It’s really difficult for you. Your three middle school girls are having real trouble with it, especially your daughter Emma who’s finishing grade eight. Wow. It’s like a flashback because I was Emma and I want…I want you to know that when at the end of grade eight my parents told us that we were moving from the big city to the middle of nowhere to pastor a little country church I simply refused to go. I was not going to leave my middle school science teacher who I was desperately in love with and destined to marry someday to go to the middle of nowhere. And I told my parents I hated them. I did everything that I could do to make them miserable. But you know what happened? They prayed and God did a miracle in my heart. And it may have involved a really cute guy in this little town in the middle of nowhere but that’s beside the point. I decided that I was willing to go after all and once I went, I loved the little town. I loved rural life and I flourished, and I blossomed there like I can’t describe to you. And today I’m so close with my parents. Honestly, I love them dearly and I go see them as often as I can. I just want to encourage you that you follow God’s leading wherever it leads you and He will deal with your daughters and with their hearts and with their destinies and He will do miracles in them and in your family. I love you I’m praying for you.
Good morning this is Mandy calling from Cork in Ireland and this is a shout out to God chosen in Georgia. She rang in requesting prayer because she’s in a dark place and needs God’s strength to carry on. Father God, we lift up our sister God’s Chosen in Georgia and ask that You would give her strength and give her the will to carry on. Amen.
