2 Samuel 13:1-39, John 17:1-26, Psalm 119:81-96, Proverbs 16:6-7
Today is the 28th day of May, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian, it is wonderful to be here with you as we do what we do and greet a brand-new, shiny, sparkly week and remind ourselves it’s out in front of us. We’re gonna write the story of our lives on this week and we’re gonna do that with our thoughts, words and deeds. We’re going to do that by what we do and what we leave undone. And one of the ways that we get direction in our lives is to come here, gather together and allow the Scriptures to speak into our lives. And so, let’s do that. It’s a brand new week, we’ll read from the New Living Translation this week. We’re picking up the story of King David and we’ve moved through a pretty dark, the most dark portion of David’s reign, when he, when he takes another man’s wife, her name is Bathsheba, and…and has, has Uriah, her husband, Uriah the Hittite, has him killed in battle on purpose. Basically uses the enemy to commit murder and takes her. And Nathan, the prophet, comes and tells him the story about a rich man who stole a poor man’s little lamb, the little lamb was like a pet, was like a daughter in the family. And the rich man stole the poor man’s lamb and served it up as a meal. Of course, David was furious when he heard the news until he found out he was that man. And so, now David’s got to go through the process. And Nathan told David that this is going to bring a lot of trouble in his family and that is what we will witness, that things aren’t the same in David’s family after this. This is something that wouldn’t have been able to be a complete cover-up, Uriah’s killed, the next thing you know Bathsheba is David’s wife. People are talking, the family is talking. It’s like respect has been lost. So, let’s pick up the story, Second Samuel chapter 13.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for a brand-new week that we move into, its transitional week before the week is over, we will graduate. We will step forward into a brand-new month and before this week is out, we will conclude the Gospel of John, which means we will conclude the Gospels and move forward into new territory in the New Testament. So, we are looking forward to all that You have for us as we move through this week and we invite Your Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth, the comforter, the advocate, to lead us on the paths that leads to peace, to lead us on the paths that are right for us, to lead us into all truth. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Prayer and Encouragements:
Hey, this is Daniel Johnson Junior from beautiful Cincinnati Ohio, longtime listener, sometimes commenter. And right now, I’m actually wanting to offer a prayer request for dear sister Carol Baker. Carol, I knew, I first met her back when she lived in Dayton Ohio and she is the person who recommended, back in 2009 that I start listening to the Daily Audio Bible again. Carol has been in the hospital for the last couple of days with just going through something that is very uncomfortable and there’s, just praying for the A+ medical team to be around her as I’m sending this out, it’s the 25th of May 2013. And so, God we just lift up our dear sister Carol to You and pray that everything goes well. Recovery turns out really well. I know that that sometimes these things happen, they’re so disruptive in our lives. And You know what you’re doing and You know what You want to have for Carol. We love her so much and I know that she loves You too. So thank you so much brothers and sisters. And thank You so much God for all the work that You’re doing. It’s in Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Hi, amazing family, this is Preserved Hope. The Disciple that Jesus Loves in Ohio, you called in. You said your depression is better and praise God you have been able to spend time with your youngest children. I know it had been awhile. So, praise God for that. We are lifting you up. Heavenly Father, that she would be able to get a good job, Lord. She has a good one lined up but she’s nervous about the background check. Lord, would You just provide for her in every way. Please just pour out an abundant amount of blessings on her financially that she would be able to meet her needs. Abba’s Daughter Sadie, I’m praying for your sister, Sydney, who severely injured her tailbone. Heavenly Father, would You just bring healing to her. Would You please protect her in the future as Sadie said that she has had issues before with injuries. Lord, just be a blessing to this family. A woman called in, your son has just admitted himself into a mental institution, Lord. He’s dealing with so much. And she’s been able to minister to him by sharing the Bible with him for over a year. Would You please just penetrate his heart. Lord, would he come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Would You please deliver him from mental illness, that has been plaguing him. Martha from the west coast, you need work. And I loved how you called in with such peace about it. And I praise God that you know that the Lord is faithful, he has always been faithful to you. But Lord, would You help her to find work, so that she can continue to meet whatever financial obligations that she has. And thank You for her hearth. Heather from California, I am lifting up you and Jackson and Ashley, Lord. Would You please hold this family in the palm of Your hand. Would You please just bless them. Please bring healing to Jackson. Please lift up their spirits Lord, and encourage them. And Jackson, I wanted to tell you that I did not grow up watching SpongeBob Squarepants because it wasn’t a show when I was a little kid. But my kids watched it a little bit. It’s a cute show. Alright, love you.
Hello, this prayer is for Jamie in New Jersey. Jamie, I thank God for you and your prayers. And happy belated birthday. You are selfless; your heart is filled with loving and caring for others. And I just pray to God that at this moment you would know how much you are appreciated and cared and loved. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, we thank You for Jamie. We thank You that You have brought him thus this far. We pray thee Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that he has cast his cares before You, Lord, and he should know that You care for him, Lord, and we as well. We pray thee Father, that You would comfort his heart. Comfort him Father, in know that he is loved and that one day Father, according to Your perfect will and perfect timing, all will be fulfilled in his life. As long as he hold on, carry on and be strong in You and faint not. In the name of Jesus, we thank You Father, that all things work together for the good of those who love You. And that You fill his heart with joy, peace, comfort, and the fruits of the spirit. Whatsoever’s lovely, whatsoever’s a good report, and not to be dismayed in any way but to know that all things work together for the good for those that love You. Be encouraged Jamie. I look forward to your prayers, and the joy of the Lord is your strength. In Jesus name I pray, with thanksgiving in my heart. Amen.
My name is Jill. I’m a new listener. I live on Drawman Island in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I’m calling today because I’ve been listening since January and most of the time, I’m a prayer warrior but through Audio Bible, I’ve become a prayer warrior who cries a lot. I listen and listen and cry at all the sadness. And so, my message to call right now is that the Lord brought into my life recently, I live alone, and He brought into my life a woman who prothlysized a bit, she prayed on the way up here. And when she came she said, gave me a message, several messages from God. But one of them was about pain and about hip and leg pain that I have. And I want to tell you all that I got up this morning, never thought about a bad knee that I have that I usually put a brace on pretty soon after I get up. I cleaned my house, I did everything I wanted to do. I started walking my dog and I quarter mile from my house and realized, I don’t have my brace on and my knee isn’t hurting. Praise God. God works and He’s listening and don’t be saddened by all the…all the calls you’re hearing or you’re not hearing people call back because people are afraid to call back. God loves us. I praise God and I thank You so much, Lord God, for all You do in our lives. Thank You, God. Bye.
