Jeramiah 30:1-31:26, 1 Timothy 2:1-15, Psalm 87:1-7, Proverbs 25:18-19
Today is the 17th day of October, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian. It is a pleasure and an honor to be here with you today around the Global Campfire, as we prepare to take the next step forward in the Scriptures this year. So, we’re reading from the God’s Word Translation this week and today we’ll read from the book of Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 1 through 31 verse 26.
Commentary:
Okay, so that Proverb that we just read is important because it gives language to certain kinds of behavior that shows how volatile and dangerous it can be. So, it’s saying a liar, a person who gives false testimony against his neighbor right, so a person who is willing to lie, and this is way beyond like lying in court. A person who’s willing to lie about someone else, whether that be through the fabrication of assumption and gossip, or just straight up telling a lie. That’s like taking a club and beating them. That’s like taking a sword and swinging it or shooting a sharp arrow. That’s pretty stark language that shows us just how treacherous that behavior is and to add to that, to put your confidence in that kind of a person, an undependable, unfaithful person. When you find yourself in crisis, to depend on a person like that is like having a broken tooth or a lame foot, you can’t function correctly. So, I mean as stark as this is, if you are untruthful and undependable then that’s what you’re doing to those around you. And conversely, if you have people in your life that are like this, then this is what they’re doing to you. So, the obvious conclusion from Proverbs is that to be a liar, to be willing to give false testimony, to be undependable and unfaithful, especially in a time of crisis, these…these behaviors are going nowhere, and they will only bring about wounding, injury, and destruction. So clearly, if we want to walk the path of wisdom, then these things cannot be a habitual part of our lives because they’re the opposite, they’re moving in the opposite direction, they’re going the wrong way.
Prayer:
And so, Holy Spirit, we invite You into the truest parts of who we are, we invite You into our identity. We ask You to surface these things in us, show us the ways in which we behave contrary to wisdom because that is not our heart’s desire, and only through the power of Your Holy Spirit, can those things be changed. So come, we invite You fully and grant You complete access to our hearts and ask for Your transformation. Come Jesus, we pray in Your mighty name. Amen.

Prayer and Encouragements:
Hello DABers. This is Angie from Texas, also Crucified with Jesus. My son Juan was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer a year and a half ago. And he’s been doing good. Of course, the doctor say it’s, you know, not curable but he was doing really good. But in his last scan it shows the cancer has advanced. So, we need to change treatment. So, of course, we are scared. He’s 34-years-old and he wants to live. He loves the Lord so that gives him peace. And we have all our hope in Jesus. It will be His will. But I ask the DABers, the DABer family, to pray for him, keep him in your prayers for strength to go through what’s coming with treatment and for all of us in his family to give him strength and for the Lord to give him wisdom and discernment and peace in his heart. We would really appreciate all the prayers coming our way from the DABer family. Thank you all.
Hello my DAB family. This is Jamie in New Jersey, Standing on the Word of God. I humbly ask you, please pray with me. Dear Father in Heaven, thank You for this beautiful day. Thank You for our families and our friends. We praise You. Among all that we have, Father, we know there are people that need help. Give us the strength to help them and always stand for the right thing. We pray for the wisdom to do things the right way. Help us not to neglect people that we have the power to help. We lift them up to You and ask that You would bless them, help them and heal them. Open our eyes, make us aware of the opportunities we have to bless others in need. We want to be Your face, hands and feet for others. Help us to serve humbly, promptly and gracefully. May we help make someone else’s load lighter. We pray in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you for praying along with me, my brothers and sisters. I love each and every one of you. Have a good night.
Hi beloved family, this is Prisoner of Hope. I wanted to encourage and let all of you know that I have had two sons come to the Lord in the last two years. I’ve had my son Timothy, whose 22, give his life to the Lord last year and was baptized. And then AJ, who many of you have prayed for, I have, he has come to the Lord, and he just got baptized recently. So, I’m ecstatic about both of them. Please continue to pray for my son Robbie and his wife Shelby, our daughter Natalie and my husband Kurt. All of them desperately need salvation. With that, I’m praying for those of you who have asked for salvation for people you love. Heather of Pikes Peak, Texas, that the people of Israel would turn to God and they would be protected from Hamas. Debbie in Canada, your son Patrick, you said needs to come to Jesus, I am praying for him. Andrea, your daughter Rain. You asked that she would, that you would want her to come home to Jesus as well. And then your son Jayden and his friend Ethan, who’s dealing with bipolar. It wasn’t clear exactly what you were asking for prayer, but I am praying for salvation for both of them. If they are saved, then the Lord will know that they already are. Rifka in Tennessee, your dad doesn’t know the Lord and is at the end of his life. And then DABer Drew of the Ozarks, you’re going to visit your 82-year-old unsaved mother and you want her to come to Jesus as well. Heavenly Father, I’m lifting up each of these people that You know, that You love. We thank You that You are faithful to us. And we know that if You would do the miracle of raising Your own son from the dead, that You would raise the people we love from the dead as well. The odds weren’t good Lord, we know that, for Jesus to be raised, and yet you did it all the same. And so, Lord, would You call them. Draw them in, enable them, may they have their hardness of hearts turned to hearts of flesh. That they would know their need for You. Put people in their lives who would do this for them. We ask this in the precious, beautiful name of Jesus. Amen.
Good morning, everyone, it’s Susan from Canada, God’s Yellow Flower calling. And I want to pray for Lost in Texas and all of us who are looking for a job that would, you know, pay the bills, for sure and help us to live in society here as a productive member. So, Lord God, You see the need. You see the need and Your own word says that if you don’t work, you don’t eat. There is desire to work, it’s just the difficulty is finding a job, the right job, the right fit. So, I lift a man from Texas, Lost in Texas, and I just pray Lord God that You would just bless him with the right job at just the right time that he needs to fulfill all the needs of his life. I pray God, You would direct his path, increase his hope and trust in You. And Lord God, that You would help him to stay on the straight and narrow path while he waits for Your perfect timing. Lord, he is, he sounds so desperate. Be his hope Lord God, be his truth, be his way. And I pray for all the others who are looking for jobs as well, God. That they would remain faithful until You have opened the door that You want them to walk through. In Jesus precious and holy name, I pray. Amen.
