1 Chronicles 15:1-16:36, Romans 1:18-32, Psalms 10:1-15, Proverbs 19:6-7

Today is the 13th day of July welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian it’s great to be here with you today. Every day it’s good to be here around the Global Campfire together as we continue to move forward on our journey. We’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week and we’re still working our way through the book of first Chronicles in the Old Testament and we are just brand-new getting into the book of Romans in the New Testament. So, First Chronicles chapter 15 verse 1 through 16 verse 36 today.

Commentary:

Okay. So, we’re just getting into the book of Romans and we’ll have plenty to talk about, not only through Romans but through all of Paul’s letters. Romans is very, very densely packed with theology. So, it’s like, yeah, you got a kinda really pay attention on some of these things to…to these kind of lengthy, complex sentences. But in effect we began a letter with greetings and then Paul is starting to lay out a case for faith, that it is faith in Jesus that justifies us before God. And, so, as we get into today’s reading he’s just sort of going back to the beginning and laying it out, like laying out that God has always desired to be known, and that, for that matter nobody has an excuse because God is evident…like the evidence of God’s attributes can be seen every blink of every eye. All you have to do is look around you at creation and see the evidence of God’s existence even though He can’t be seen, and no one has ever seen Him…seen Him. So, Paul explains it this way and…and I’m just quoting from Romans. “For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.” So, Paul is beginning to build a case for faith - you can’t see God, but you can see evidence of God and faith is the thing that lets you see what you cannot see.” But he’s also laying out an argument right up front here that everybody can look around and see evidence of God, and it has always been this way. And yet people were blinded and fell into all kinds of sinful things that have kind of led us to the place that we are. And in that slide, in that spiral downward while still trying to look for and even control God we made our own gods. We started worshiping other things are worshiping each other. And, so, humanity began to experience things that it wasn’t designed to experience, nor were they ever intended by God. Well…we had to have it our way. And isn’t that the story? Isn’t that the story? And yet as we will see laid out clearly, God has His own story to tell and we’re a part of that story, not the other way around. And, so, God has been relentlessly pursuing us. And even though we want we want to have our own way there is always a way back to Him. It won’t be our way. It’ll be His way. But there is a way, and that way can be found through faith.

Prayer:

Father, we thank you for your word. And as we continue to move into Romans, Holy Spirit come, give us ears to hear, eyes to see, an understanding mind and heart. Apply these things to our lives so that they can direct our steps, so that they can transform our motives, so that they can transform our hearts. Come Holy Spirit into all this we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Good morning DABbber family this is la Chula calling from Los Angeles CA and I just want to thank my DAB community for their prayers for standing with me. Five months ago, this day my daughter was abandoned by her husband leaving her eight weeks pregnant and with a special needs child. And what felt like the end of the world was the beginning of something new and beautiful. She’s on a very beautiful journey and to finding her identity in Christ. And I just want to thank pastor Brian and Jill and…and all the DAB community for standing with me at such a time. I want to wish her a beautiful birthday as well because today…yesterday was her 28th birthday and I just wanted to say happy birthday to my daughter. She has blessed me beyond measure. I can’t believe that God has crowned me with her as my daughter and now is going to give me a little Princess in September. And although, you know, we’re still walking together with uncertainty at times, God is never wrong and He’s always faithful. So, God is never wrong and He’s always faithful…

Hey my sweet DAB fam this is Kingdom Seeker Daniel. Family I could really use your prayers. As LOV and I were enroute to and outdoor facility for kids LOV got a phone call that her son passed away this morning on July 10th. And, so, this is really a shocker and we turned around and were getting ready to head back but then we asked the grandsons if they wanted to, you know, go somewhere anyway. It was kind of heavy for everybody, but they decided they wanted to go. So, with heavy hearts we are…we are here trying to just process through it all. So, will you please be in prayer for my dear bride LOV and her daughters Tonya and Nicole and their dad Bill senior. I’m a bit perplexed because I was planning on flying out next Monday the 19th to visit with D2 for his birthday because that's…that’s the actually day for his birthday and the only day for visitation. So, I’m not exactly sure what to do at this point, whether I should go…I could go…I don't…I don’t want to necessarily leave my bride. So, I don’t know family. So, will you guys please be in prayer for us, and specifically for LOV. Love you guys so much.

Hey DAB…DAB community this is your girl Trelravenell by way of the DMV area, your marriage coach and I wanted to lift up prayers to the team, lifting up prayers for some of our individuals. Praying for Jacob tumors on his spinal cord. He had called in. I just believe that God is going to heal him. Anybody that’s having any spinal cord issues, any issues of them being able to function, muscular issues, bone issues and I’m praying that God is going to realign their…their bodies right now in the name of Jesus. I’m praying for those that are suffering from infertility. I’m praying for God to restore the womb, that He makes a way out of no way for these individuals to have the…a child, for them to bring a child into this world. We know that there are several things that can…can happen by way of technology and other means and I’m just believing God is going to open that door. Praying for Jeannie who’s having car issues and just constant life challenges and struggles. It seems like she’s going through adversity after adversity and I’m just praying that God…that she’s able to cast her cares on the Lord, that He cares for her, that God will just shower down His blessings on her, shower down His piece on her and every adversity and challenge that she’s facing right now that she will come out on top, and she will have the victory. Praying for Jeanette who has had…who is…who is a diabetic and going through dialysis. She had a tooth pulled and some other things and she’s only in her 40s and it seems like she’s having a lot of health issues. I pray that she is healed for by the stripes of Jesus you are healed even from diabetes, dialysis, any issues of the kidney any of the issues of the liver. I know God can heal and I pray that He gives you the wisdom on how to care for your body and the things that you need to do so you can walk in total healing and manifestation. Praying for Dean senior who had four liters of fluid off of his liver and waiting a liver transplant. I’m believing he will get it and it will be good in Jesus’ name.

Hey DAB family this is Jasmine calling from Virginia, and I’m actually called up here before but today I just wanted to thank Renzo from Florida for just calling in and praying for others. It really just motivates me to like hear someone that’s like in my age group just motivating and encouraging people because I’m not used to seeing that. So, thank you for that. And I just wanted to pray for everyone. So, Lord Heavenly Father I just thank you for today, thank you for waking us up today, hearing this podcast so that we could just be encouraged and motivated to just draw closer to Lord. I pray that you protect each and every one of us Lord. I pray that you give us peace and just comfort so that we could walk into today or tomorrow with pride Lord. And I just ask that you forgive us for all of our sins. I pray that you cleanse us from anything and that you just blind us from all the things Satan lies upon us in the name of Jesus I pray Amen.

I went to church the other night for the first time in many many weeks
and I found out that it’s true his spirit still speaks
peace and love and things to come
God loves us all not just some
reluctantly I gave him space
lovingly abundantly he gives me back grace
he opens the locks within my heart
and he guarantees a brand new start
why do I still try so hard to turn away
why does he still keep loving me more with each passing day
why does he keep on letting me do things my own stupid way
even when I buck he still says it’s OK
God is God and he’s just that way
maker of kings
above all things
knowing today what tomorrow brings
counter of raindrops keeper of tears
he knew before time was the sum of my years
the core of my fears
the what when where and everything about all my careers
and yet still I’m reluctant to do things his way
I’m hardheaded and stubborn what more can I say
but I do know I feel him and I feel him real strong
it doesn’t take a genius to see that I was wrong
so I’m acknowledging his greatness and I’m acknowledging my sin
and I’m praying very humbly for his spirit to come in
and redirect my thinking and guide all my steps
soften the hardness of my heart
it’s not much but it’s what he expects
I recommit myself to you body mind and spirit
the other path will still be there but I’m not trying to hear it
it won’t be easy and it won’t be smooth
but a long ways to go and a whole lot to prove
prove to my children my family and friends
to God and myself before this life ends
so thank you my Lord for bringing me back to church
since it took that to bring me back to you
help me dear Lord to stay firm on this course
and with you and everything I do

The Daily Audio Bible Reading for Tuesday July 13, 2021 (NIV)

1 Chronicles 15:1-16:36

The Ark Comes to Jerusalem

15 David built houses for himself in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.(A) 2 Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the Lord has chosen them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister before him forever.”(B)

3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem(C) to bring the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it.(D) 4 Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:

5 From the Kohathites, Uriel the leader and 120 of his relatives; 6 from the Merarites, Asaiah the leader and 220 of his relatives; 7 from the Gershomites,[a] Joel the leader and 130 of his relatives; 8 from the Elizaphanites, Shemaiah the leader and 200 of his relatives; 9 from the Hebronites, Eliel the leader and 80 of his relatives; 10 from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the leader and 112 of his relatives.

11 David summoned the priests Zadok(E) and Abiathar(F) and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab. 12 He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levite families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves(G) so that you may bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.(H) 13 For the Lord our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of him about the proper procedures.”(I) 14 So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. 15 Then the Levites carried the ark of God the way Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord: on their shoulders with the poles.(J)

16 Then David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers and to have them raise their voices with joy accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.(K) 17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his relatives, Asaph son of Berechiah; and from their relatives the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah. 18 With them were their relatives second in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel,[b] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel. 19 The singers Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals; 20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps according to Alamoth[c] 21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to the Sheminith. 22 Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites in music, was to direct the music because he was skillful. 23 Berechiah and Elkanah were to be gatekeepers for the ark. 24 The priests, Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, were to blow trumpets(L) before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also to be gatekeepers for the ark.

25 David,(M) the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-edom.(N) 26 Because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, with God’s help, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.(O)

27 Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the music leader of the singers. David also wore a linen ephod. 28 So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts, the sound of the ram’s horn, trumpets, and cymbals, and the playing of harps and lyres. 29 As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the city of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from the window and saw King David leaping[d] and dancing, and she despised him in her heart.

16 They(P) brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent David had pitched for it.(Q) Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in God’s presence. 2 When David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. 3 Then he distributed to each and every Israelite, both men and women, a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

4 David appointed some of the Levites to be ministers before the ark of the Lord, to celebrate the Lord God of Israel, and to give thanks and praise to him. 5 Asaph was the chief and Zechariah was second to him. Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel played the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals 6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.

David’s Psalm of Thanksgiving

7 On that day David decreed for the first time that thanks be given to the Lord by Asaph and his relatives:

8 Give thanks(R) to the Lord; call on his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples.(S)
9 Sing to him; sing praise to him;
tell about all his wondrous works!
10 Boast in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.(T)
12 Remember the wondrous works he has done,(U)
his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,[e](V)
13 you offspring of Israel his servant,
Jacob’s descendants—his chosen ones.

14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments govern the whole earth.(W)
15 Remember his covenant forever—
the promise he ordained for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant he made with Abraham,
swore[f] to Isaac,(X)
17 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,
and to Israel as a permanent covenant:(Y)
18 “I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.”(Z)

19 When they[g] were few in number,
very few indeed,(AA) and resident aliens in Canaan
20 wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,
21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their behalf:(AB)
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones
or harm my prophets.”(AC)

23 Let the whole earth sing(AD) to the Lord.
Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his wondrous works among all peoples.

25 For the Lord is great and highly praised;(AE)
he is feared above all gods.(AF)
26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,(AG)
but the Lord made the heavens.(AH)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;(AI)
30 let the whole earth tremble(AJ) before him.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be shaken.
31 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice,(AK)
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea and all that fills it resound;
let the fields and everything in them exult.(AL)
33 Then the trees of the forest will shout for joy before the Lord,
for he is coming to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.(AM)
35 And say,(AN) “Save us, God of our salvation;
gather us and rescue us from the nations
so that we may give thanks to your holy name
and rejoice in your praise.
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel(AO)
from everlasting to everlasting.”

Then all the people said, “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”

Romans 1:18-32

The Guilt of the Gentile World

18 For God’s wrath(A) is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth,(B) 19 since what can be known[a] about God is evident among them,(C) because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world,(D) being understood through what he has made.(E) As a result, people are without excuse. 21 For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened.(F) 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools(G) 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.(H)

24 Therefore God delivered them over in the desires of their hearts(I) to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie,(J) and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever.(K) Amen.

From Idolatry to Depravity

26 For this reason God delivered them over to disgraceful passions.(L) Their women[b] exchanged natural sexual relations[c] for unnatural ones. 27 The men[d] in the same way also left natural relations with women and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men(M) and received in their own persons[e] the appropriate penalty of their error.

28 And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right. 29 They are filled with all unrighteousness,[f] evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,(N) 30 slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful,(O) inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,(P) 31 senseless, untrustworthy, unloving,[g](Q) and unmerciful. 32 Although they know God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die[h](R)—they not only do them, but even applaud[i](S) others who practice them.

Psalm 10:1-15

Psalm 10

Need for God’s Justice

1 Lord,[a][b] why do you stand so far away?(A)
Why do you hide in times of trouble?(B)
2 In arrogance the wicked relentlessly pursue their victims;
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.(C)

3 For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;(D)
the one who is greedy curses[c] and despises the Lord.(E)
4 In all his scheming,
the wicked person arrogantly thinks,[d]
“There’s no accountability,
since there’s no God.”(F)
5 His ways are always secure;[e]
your lofty judgments have no effect on him;[f]
he scoffs at all his adversaries.(G)
6 He says to himself, “I will never be moved—
from generation to generation I will be without calamity.”(H)
7 Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;
trouble and malice are under his tongue.(I)
8 He waits in ambush near settlements;(J)
he kills the innocent in secret places.
His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;(K)
9 he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket.
He lurks in order to seize a victim;
he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.
10 So he is oppressed and beaten down;
helpless people fall because of the wicked one’s strength.(L)
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
he hides his face and will never see.”(M)

12 Rise up, Lord God! Lift up your hand.(N)
Do not forget the oppressed.(O)
13 Why has the wicked person despised God?
He says to himself, “You will not demand an account.”(P)
14 But you yourself have seen trouble and grief,
observing it in order to take the matter into your hands.(Q)
The helpless one entrusts himself to you;
you are a helper of the fatherless.(R)
15 Break the arm of the wicked, evil person,(S)
until you look for his wickedness,
but it can’t be found.(T)

1 Chronicles 12:19-14:17, Romans 1:1-17, Psalm 9:13-20, Proverbs 19:4-5

Today is the 12th day of July, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible, I am Brian it is wonderful to be here with you today as we get going in our new work week and actually we have new territory. We finish the Book of Acts yesterday. So, when we get to the New Testament portion we’ll be moving into totally new category and so we’ll talk about when we get there but first we’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week, 1 Chronicles chapter 12 verse 19 through 14 verse 17.

Introduction to Romans:

Okay, so as I mentioned at the beginning, we concluded the Book of Acts yesterday. Acts is generally thought of as New Testament history and so in concluding the Book of Acts yesterday we earned our New Testament history badge for kind of keeping track in the Daily Audio Bible app. And so, now we’re moving into some new territory. We left the Book of Acts with Paul arriving in Rome. And so, the last part of the Book of Acts we were really right alongside the Apostle Paul, as he journeyed around and all the controversies that arose in his travels around the Roman Empire bringing the good news of the gospel. We went to Jerusalem and we saw him get arrested and we saw the appeal to Caesar and so he’s sailed to Rome and that’s the end of the Book of Acts. We will spend the next generous portion of our time through the year here working through the letters that Paul wrote that have been preserved that Paul had sent directly to different churches that had been established to encourage and instruct them. And what we need to understand is yes, currently at the moment we are reading the New Testament and these letters are included in the New Testament of the Bible. But when these letters were written there wasn’t a New Testament to include them in. And so, these letters were copied and passed around from church to church. Descriptions of early church would be to sing a hymn to have a meal together to maybe read from the prophets or to read from the law from the Mosaic law, the law and the prophets. Or to read the Chronicles of the apostles or to read some of these letters and over time they were collected together and now we have them in the New Testament so we’ll be spending time in Paul’s letters. He’s not the only one that wrote letters that ended up in the New Testament but Paul’s letters, they are grouped together and we’re gonna move through them at once. And another thing to understand is that we’ve read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John we’ve read the Gospels, that’s how we got going, that’s where we spent the first half of our year in the Gospels. These letters though, were written before the Gospels were written and so, these letters some of them are the earliest Christian writings that exist. So, today were going to move into the book of Romans and this is the first, like I said, many of the letters that Paul wrote in the New Testament. But this is the first one that we’re coming to and most scholars agree this is like the crown jewel, this is the very comprehensive work that provides an incredible amount of our theological understanding of Jesus and his work and what it represents. This letter was probably written from the city of Corinth where the Corinthians were, some of Paul’s strongest missionary work was performed in Corinth and so this was probably written from there, probably somewhere in the mid-50s. And I don’t mean like the 1550s or the 1950s, I mean like the 50s like the 0050 length of 50s. And this is one of the more lengthy letters of Paul. And so, when he finished it, at least according to the book of Romans, he sent a Deaconess, her name was Phoebe, to hand deliver the letter. Phoebe was from the church Incontraia and that was like a suburb of Corinth. In this case Paul is sending a letter to the church in Rome. But this is not, Paul had never been to Rome so he didn’t plant the church in Rome and nobody really knows who did or how the gospel made its way to Rome other, we remember that Stephen was stoned and then people began to run. People began to spread out looking for freedom in a peaceful way to live and to avoid, kind of, marginalization and persecution. And so, you know, a likely scenario, probably the likely scenario is it, that’s how the gospel got to Rome, somebody or group of people who had been present with what the Holy Spirit was doing at Pentecost and in the church in Jerusalem, ended up carrying the message back to Rome and eventually a church was established there. So, Paul was a naturally born Roman citizen. He hadn’t been to Rome but he was looking forward to it. We know the story, he went to Jerusalem, got arrested and then made his way to Rome as a prisoner and we’ve watched all that and we’ve watched you know, the Sanhedrin, against Paul plan to assassinate, assassination plots are unearthed, and Paul is rescued and saved in we’ve seen the difference between the Sadducees and the Pharisees when Paul has addressed them. We’ve seen all that’s coming against Paul everywhere he goes, like he can’t really hardly get to a new city without the Jewish people stirring up some kind a mob against him so, he has this reputation and we look at that, we may think like “okay, yeah, this is this is how they treated Jesus, this is how they treat Paul, this is how they treat everybody” but we me wonder like what’s going on here? Why are they so mad at Paul, why were they so mad at Jesus for that matter? As we move through the book of Romans we’ll be able to explore some of that, begin to understand why this good news was a controversy, why it was thought of as a heresy even, why it was thought of as like an anti-God thing, this is why the Sanhedrin, other than just to stay in power, lie they’re raging against somebody like Paul because they cannot get their minds around what he’s saying and we’ll begin to be able to understand the lay of the land there as we move through the book or letter of Romans. And so let’s get started, Romans chapter 1 verses 1 through 17 today.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for bringing us into this new territory. And as we begin the Book of Romans and start our journey through these letters these very, very, the earliest of preserved writings that were centered around the story of the good news of the gospel, we invite Your Holy Spirit to lead and guide us to open our eyes to see and open our ears to hear and we might understand the implications of the Gospel and how much it actually changes things for we who believe. Come, Holy Spirit into this next season that we will share together in the letters of Paul. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayers and Encouragements:

Hey my amazing DAB fam, this is Kingdom Seeker Daniel. To the unnamed brother, you’re battling unforgiveness and you find it hard to let go sins of the past. John 8:36 simply tells us, my friend, if the son sets you free you will be freed indeed. So, my brother, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and repented of your sin, you are free indeed. You simply have to walk that out and so sometimes I know that the stumbling blocks and the snares and the pitfalls of the enemy wants to try to remind us. That’s all he can do though is just try to remind us. We’ve got to press, set our affections and our mind on things above so you are free. So, let’s just keep pressing forward. Father lift up your son. I pray that You would cause him to remember who he is in You in the name of Jesus. And then for Ava from Colorado Springs, God I’m asking that You would be with her and the six children that will have to testify concerning this sex abuse court hearing. What would You give her and the children the ability to speak the truth and give them the strength to declare what needs to be declared and I pray that Your Spirit would govern all of these matters in Jesus name. Kirah, oh my goodness, thank you for your testimony this contrite in Jesus, hallelujah, thank you so much woman of God for that powerful testimony. Love you family.  

Hello Daily Audio Bible family. I am missionary from Chicago calling in asking for prayer. I am the sole caregiver for an elderly mom suffering from dementia. I’ve been a sole caregiver going on two years now when she moved in with me and if you’ve ever dealt with someone with dementia, you know it’s very unpredictable but every day just gets a little bit harder and harder as the disease progresses, as well as just the pressure and the stress on caregivers. And I’ve just noticed the last few months my patience has decreased and my stress levels and kind of, frustrations with the situation that I’m in has only increased so I’m just asking for prayer. Prayer for my mom first and foremost that she will just continue to have all of the positive aspects of her personality and hold onto as much as herself for as long as she can. But also just prayers for me as I try to get more patience and kindness and less frustration and anger about the situation and that I can just be surrounded by guidance and support and just increased faith and perseverance for the situation that we’re in. Thank you very much for your prayers. I know God is listening and it’s also so comforting to know that all of you all are are listening and praying for me as well. Thank you.

Hey from beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio it’s Daniel Johnson Junior this goes out to Margo the missionary from Australia and Liberia and your husband oh my goodness you guys are going through a lot. I mean, we hear about how hard things have been with the pandemic in Africa and India and South America and I know you’re there among it all and as you say you’re feeling some compassion fatigue. And I can’t even imagine what that’s like. So, I just, my heart goes out to you Margo, I pray for respite for you and your husband. I pray for renewed renewal through Jesus through the Spirit of Jesus that may rest in you and on you, but you may continue to do God’s work and until it’s time for you to not do it there anymore so may God continue to provide for you and to bless you, our sister. You are one of our heroes in this community and we love you and you’re definitely one of God’s favorites. God bless you from beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio, Daniel Johnson Junior.

Hi, I just wanted to call in for this girl that was struggling at a hospital at Africa. I don’t really know her name, Margo, is her name from Liberia. That’s what my Aunt Rachel told me. And I just want you to help her God and please help good people to come in the hospital and help. Please help there not to be anymore bad people there. Please help the people to get better and there to be miracles. My name is Kailee. Hi, I’m Jaylyn and I wanted to pray for the same girl with my sister. I’m here with my sister and my cousin Benice and my Aunt and I wanted to pray for this girl Margo in Africa for there to be good people at her hospital and for them to get money to help those people and I just wanna pray for them and yeah. Hi, I’m Ben. I’m Big Hearted Ben I’m going to help Margo to have a good life and help the people in need. And to get and to help everyone, Amen. Bye.

Hey Daily Audio Bible family this is Billy from Montgomery with the Trinity Stone. I wanted to put a prayer request out there for Margo from Australia now it’s Margo from Liberia. You started, ya’ll went back to do mission work in Liberia, and I just, ya’ll sounded like ya’ll were having issues with things that were going on over there. I just wanted to wash y'all in the blood of Jesus and let ya’ll know that I was praying for y'all and keep ya’ll covered up in prayer. It sounded like ya’ll were really having issues with things that were going on over there. I just wanted to let you know I was covering, keeping you guys covered in prayer and I will talk you later.

The Daily Audio Bible Reading for Monday July 12, 2021 (NIV)

1 Chronicles 12:19-14:17

19 Some Manassites defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. However, they did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers sent David away after a discussion. They said, “It will be our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”(A) 20 When David went to Ziklag, some men from Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against the raiders,(B) for they were all valiant warriors and commanders in the army. 22 At that time, men came day after day to help David until there was a great army, like an army of God.[a](C)

David’s Soldiers in Hebron

23 The numbers of the armed troops who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him,(D) according to the Lord’s word,(E) were as follows:

24 From the Judahites: 6,800 armed troops bearing shields and spears.

25 From the Simeonites: 7,100 valiant warriors ready for war.

26 From the Levites: 4,600 27 in addition to Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men; 28 and Zadok,(F) a young valiant warrior, with 22 commanders from his ancestral family.[b]

29 From the Benjaminites, the relatives of Saul:(G) 3,000 (up to that time the majority of the Benjaminites maintained their allegiance to the house of Saul).

30 From the Ephraimites: 20,800 valiant warriors who were famous men in their ancestral families.[c]

31 From half the tribe of Manasseh: 18,000 designated by name to come and make David king.

32 From the Issacharites, who understood the times(H) and knew what Israel should do: 200 chiefs with all their relatives under their command.

33 From Zebulun: 50,000 who could serve in the army, trained for battle with all kinds of weapons of war, with one purpose(I) to help David.[d]

34 From Naphtali: 1,000 commanders accompanied by 37,000 men with shield and spear.

35 From the Danites: 28,600 trained for battle.

36 From Asher: 40,000 who could serve in the army, trained for battle.

37 From across the Jordan—from the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh: 120,000 men equipped with all the military weapons of war.

38 All these warriors, lined up in battle formation, came to Hebron wholeheartedly determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of Israel was also of one mind to make David king.(J) 39 They spent three days there eating and drinking with David, for their relatives had provided for them. 40 In addition, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali came and brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen—abundant provisions of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine and oil, herds, and flocks.(K) Indeed, there was joy in Israel.

David and the Ark

13 David consulted with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands. 2 Then he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is from the Lord our God, let’s spread out and send the message to the rest of our relatives in all the districts of Israel, including the priests and Levites in their cities with pasturelands,(L) that they should gather together with us. 3 Then let’s bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of him[e](M) in Saul’s days.” 4 Since the proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to do it.

5 So David assembled all Israel,(N) from the Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamath,[f](O) to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.(P) 6 David(Q) and all Israel went to Baalah(R) (that is, Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah) to take from there the ark of God, which bears the name of the Lord who is enthroned between the cherubim.(S) 7 At Abinadab’s house(T) they set the ark of God on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio[g] were guiding the cart.

8 David and all Israel were dancing with all their might before God with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.(U) 9 When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor,(V) Uzzah reached out to hold the ark because the oxen had stumbled. 10 Then the Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him dead because he had reached out to the ark.(W) So he died there in the presence of God.(X)

11 David was angry because of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah, so he named that place Outburst Against Uzzah,[h] as it is still named today. 12 David feared God that day and said, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?” 13 So David did not bring the ark of God home[i] to the city of David; instead, he diverted it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath.(Y) 14 The ark of God remained with Obed-edom’s family in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed his family and all that he had.

God’s Blessing on David

14 King Hiram of Tyre sent envoys to David,(Z) along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters to build a palace for him. 2 Then David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

3 David took more wives in Jerusalem, and he became the father of more sons and daughters. 4 These(AA) are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of David; when David heard of this, he went out to face them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided in Rephaim Valley,(AB) 10 so David inquired of God, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”

The Lord replied, “Attack, and I will hand them over to you.”

11 So the Israelites went up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated the Philistines there. Then David said, “Like a bursting flood, God has used me to burst out against my enemies.” Therefore, they named that place The Lord Bursts Out.[j] 12 The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.

13 Once again the Philistines raided in the valley. 14 So David again inquired of God, and God answered him, “Do not pursue them directly. Circle around them and attack them opposite the balsam trees. 15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, for God will have gone out ahead of you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer. 17 Then David’s fame spread throughout the lands, and the Lord caused all the nations to be terrified of him.(AC)

Romans 1:1-17

The Gospel of God for Rome

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle[a](A) and set apart(B) for the gospel of God(C)— 2 which he promised beforehand(D) through his prophets(E) in the Holy Scriptures— 3 concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David[b](F) according to the flesh(G) 4 and was appointed to be the powerful(H) Son of God(I) according to the Spirit of holiness[c] by the resurrection of the dead. 5 Through him we have received grace and apostleship(J) to bring about[d] the obedience(K) of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles,[e](L) 6 including you who are also called by Jesus Christ.(M)

7 To all who are in Rome, loved by God,(N) called(O) as saints.(P)

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul’s Desire to Visit Rome

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith[f] is being reported in all the world.(Q) 9 God is my witness,(R) whom I serve with my spirit(S) in telling the good news about his Son—that I constantly mention you,(T) 10 always asking in my prayers that if it is somehow in God’s will, I may now at last succeed in coming to you.(U) 11 For I want very much to see you,(V) so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, 12 that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13 Now I don’t want you to be unaware,(W) brothers and sisters, that I often planned to come to you (but was prevented until now(X)) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry[g] among you,(Y) just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am obligated both to Greeks and barbarians,[h](Z) both to the wise and the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel(AA) to you also who are in Rome.

The Righteous Will Live by Faith

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel,[i](AB) because it is the power of God for salvation(AC) to everyone who believes, first to the Jew,(AD) and also to the Greek.(AE) 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith,[j](AF) just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.[k][l](AG)

consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.(A)
Lift me up from the gates of death,(B)

Today is the 11th day of July welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is wonderful to be here with you as we greet a new week and just reflect upon the fact that…like we always do…it’s a new week and it’s out in front of us. It’s not something that we’re in the middle of and it’s not something that’s behind us. It’s something that is yet in front of us. And, so, what this week’s gonna look like is going to be made up of the choices and decisions that we make and the words that we use and craft to speak and the motives of our hearts. And we can choose. We always have the choice about how we’re gonna respond to things. We don’t just have to react. And the Bible helps us on so many levels. And, so, welcome to a brand-new week that we get to live into together. We are continuing our journey through the book of First Chronicles. We are also continuing our journey through the book of Acts, although we will conclude that journey during this brand-new shiny week. So, let’s get to it. We’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible. First Chronicles 11:1 through 12:18.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for…we thank You for this family, this community. We thank You for each other and we thank You for Your word, binding us together. There is no each other without Your word in this community. This is why we’ve come together.

And, so, come Holy Spirit we pray. In the name of Jesus, we ask. Amen.

Hello Daily Audio Bible family my name is John Avon and I am from the Philippines. This is my first time calling in, but I’ve been a listener for nearly over a year now. I am a double amputee. I lost my both legs in a motorcycle accident way back in 2003. Our Father is just so gracious and amazing. He has been using my testimony and my life tremendously for His glory. I am currently working for the government as a public health pharmacist here in my small town and I praise God and I thank Him for this job because I can freely reach out in sharing gospel of Jesus and the goodness of God to the community significantly to the less fortunate that seek free medical care services. This podcast has been helping me and strengthening me a lot in my walk with Jesus every day. Knowing Him deeper I grow to love him through His spoken words. I have been praying with you and for you. I love you family. Thank you that I’ve been a part of this community. God bless us all.

Hello, my name is Micah, and I am in a relationship that is not in a good spot. My wife is…she doesn’t find me attractive, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been working out, I’ve been talking to her. I’ve been doing everything she said that what I need to do so I can be attracted…attractive for her. But how…but it never seems to be enough. I don’t know where to…I don’t know where else to go. I need God’s help. Thanks.

This is Danny from Southern Oregon. I wanted to lift up Eva and her children. Eva, you said that you have all been subpoenaed to testify in court on July 12th. And, so, I just wanted to lift you up to our Father right now. Heavenly Father I just lift this family up to You and I just pray Lord that You would just pour out Your courage on her and her children, that…that You would give them peace in knowing that, You know, they’re doing the right thing. I just pray Lord that the truth would come out, that You would just allow them all to speak truth and boldness while they’re on the stand. And I just pray Lord that You would pour out forgiveness wherever forgiveness is due and I pray that justice would be served, that whatever wrong was done Lord would be held accountable and would be made right in the eyes of the justice system. And I just pray that You would reveal Yourself to those who don’t know You in this situation and that You and this whole situation would be a living testimony in the future Lord. Keep these children safe, keep Ava safe I pray. Just wrap them up in Your loving arms. And I…I just thank You Lord for being there to go to when we have situations like this. You are our hope. Thank You, Father in Jesus’ name. Amen. Eva I’m going to put you on my calendar and continue to pray for you on July 12th. Love you sister.

The Daily Audio Bible Reading for Sunday July 11, 2021 (NIV)

1 Chronicles 11:1-12:18

David’s Anointing as King

11 All Israel(A) came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.[a] 2 Even previously when Saul was king, you were leading Israel out to battle and bringing us back. The Lord your God also said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will be ruler over my people Israel.’”

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. David made a covenant with them at Hebron in the Lord’s presence, and they anointed David king over Israel, in keeping with the Lord’s word through Samuel.(B)

David’s Capture of Jerusalem

4 David(C) and all Israel marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); the Jebusites who inhabited the land were there.(D) 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Yet David did capture the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

6 David said, “Whoever is the first to kill a Jebusite will become chief commander.” Joab(E) son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became the chief.

7 Then David took up residence in the stronghold; therefore, it was called the city of David. 8 He built up the city all the way around, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding parts, and Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 David steadily grew more powerful,(F) and the Lord of Armies was with him.

Exploits of David’s Warriors

10 The following were the chiefs of David’s warriors who, together with all Israel, strongly supported him in his reign to make him king according to the Lord’s word about Israel.(G) 11 This(H) is the list of David’s warriors:

Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief(I) of the Thirty;[b] he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

12 After him, Eleazar son of Dodo(J) the Ahohite was one of the three warriors. 13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines had gathered there for battle. There was a portion of a field full of barley, where the troops had fled from the Philistines.(K) 14 But Eleazar and David[c] took their stand in the middle of the field and defended it. They killed the Philistines, and the Lord gave them a great victory.

15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam,(L) while the Philistine army was encamped in Rephaim Valley.(M) 16 At that time David was in the stronghold,(N) and a Philistine garrison(O) was at Bethlehem. 17 David was extremely thirsty[d] and said, “If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!” 18 So the Three broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord. 19 David said, “I would never do such a thing in the presence of my God! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” For they brought it at the risk of their lives. So he would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.

20 Abishai,(P) Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three.[e] He raised his spear against three hundred men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three. 21 He was more honored than the Three and became their commander even though he did not become one of the Three.

22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada(Q) was the son of a brave man[f] from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab,[g] and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 23 He also killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall.[h] Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand like a weaver’s beam,(R) Benaiah went down to him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear. 24 These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors. 25 He was the most honored of the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.

12 The following were the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still banned from the presence of Saul son of Kish.(V) They were among the warriors who helped him in battle. 2 They were archers who could use either the right or left hand, both to sling stones and shoot arrows from a bow.(W) They were Saul’s relatives(X) from Benjamin:

3 Their chief was Ahiezer son of Shemaah the Gibeathite.

Then there was his brother Joash;

Jeziel and Pelet sons of Azmaveth;

Beracah, Jehu the Anathothite;

4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a warrior among the Thirty and a leader over the Thirty;

Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite;

5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, Shephatiah the Haruphite;

6 Elkanah, Isshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.

8 Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the desert. They were valiant warriors, trained for battle, expert with shield and spear. Their faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles on the mountains.(Y)

9 Ezer was the chief, Obadiah second, Eliab third,

10 Mishmannah fourth, Jeremiah fifth,

11 Attai sixth, Eliel seventh,

12 Johanan eighth, Elzabad ninth,

13 Jeremiah tenth, and Machbannai eleventh.

14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least of them was a match for a hundred, and the greatest of them for a thousand.(Z) 15 These are the men who crossed the Jordan in the first month[j] when it was overflowing all its banks,(AA) and put to flight all those in the valleys to the east and to the west.

16 Other Benjaminites and men from Judah also went to David at the stronghold.(AB) 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come in peace to help me, my heart will be united with you, but if you have come to betray me to my enemies even though my hands have done no wrong, may the God of our ancestors look on it and judge.”

18 Then the Spirit enveloped[k](AC) Amasai,(AD) chief of the Thirty, and he said:

We are yours, David,
we are with you, son of Jesse!
Peace, peace to you,
and peace to him who helps you,(AE)
for your God helps you.

So David received them and made them leaders of his troops.

Acts 28

Malta’s Hospitality

28 Once safely ashore, we(A) then learned that the island was called Malta.(B) 2 The local people(C) showed us extraordinary kindness. They lit a fire and took us all in, since it was raining and cold. 3 As Paul gathered a bundle of brushwood and put it on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the local people saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “This man, no doubt, is a murderer. Even though he has escaped the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”(D) 5 But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.(E) 6 They expected that he would begin to swell up or suddenly drop dead. After they waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.(F)

Ministry in Malta

7 Now in the area around that place was an estate belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days. 8 Publius’s father was in bed suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went to him, and praying and laying his hands on him, he healed him.(G) 9 After this, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed. 10 So they heaped many honors on us, and when we sailed, they gave us what we needed.

Rome at Last

11 After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered at the island, with the Twin Gods[a] as its figurehead. 12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed three days. 13 From there, after making a circuit along the coast,[b] we reached Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and the second day we came to Puteoli. 14 There we found brothers and sisters(H) and were invited to stay a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 Now the brothers and sisters from there had heard the news about us and had come to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. 16 When we entered Rome,[c] Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier who guarded him.(I)

Paul’s First Interview with Roman Jews

17 After three days he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.(J) 18 After they examined me, they wanted to release me, since there was no reason for the death penalty in my case.(K) 19 Because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar;(L) even though I had no charge to bring against my people. 20 For this reason I’ve asked to see you and speak to you. In fact, it is for the hope of Israel that I’m wearing this chain.”(M)

21 Then they said to him, “We haven’t received any letters about you from Judea. None of the brothers has come and reported or spoken anything evil about you. 22 But we want to hear what your views are, since we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.”(N)

The Response to Paul’s Message

23 After arranging a day with him, many came to him at his lodging. From dawn to dusk he expounded and testified about the kingdom of God. He tried to persuade them about Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.(O) 24 Some were persuaded by what he said, but others did not believe.(P)

25 Disagreeing among themselves, they began to leave after Paul made one statement:[d] “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your[e] ancestors through the prophet Isaiah 26 when he said,

Go to these people and say:
You will always be listening,
but never understanding;
and you will always be looking,
but never perceiving.
27 For the hearts of these people
have grown callous,
their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their heart
and turn,
and I would heal them.[f](Q)

28 Therefore, let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.”[g]

Paul’s Ministry Unhindered

30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house. And he welcomed all who visited him, 31 proclaiming the kingdom of God(R) and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness(S) and without hindrance.

Psalm 9:1-12

Psalm 9

Celebration of God’s Justice

For the choir director: according to Muth-labben. A psalm of David.

1 I will thank the Lord with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous works.(A)
2 I will rejoice and boast about you;(B)
I will sing about your name, Most High.(C)

3 When my enemies retreat,
they stumble and perish before you.(D)
4 For you have upheld my just cause;(E)
you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.(F)
5 You have rebuked the nations:(G)
You have destroyed the wicked;(H)
you have erased their name forever and ever.(I)
6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin;
you have uprooted the cities,
and the very memory of them has perished.(J)

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;(K)
he has established his throne for judgment.(L)
8 And he judges the world with righteousness;
he executes judgment on the nations with fairness.(M)
9 The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted,
a refuge in times of trouble.(N)
10 Those who know your name trust in you
because you have not abandoned
those who seek you, Lord.(O)

11 Sing to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;(P)
proclaim his deeds among the nations.(Q)
12 For the one who seeks an accounting
for bloodshed remembers them;(R)
he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.(S)

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. Here we are we’ve successfully reached the conclusion of another full week together. It’s a day-by-day occurrence in the weeks go by and Your faithfulness is ever apparent. We look back to yesterday and You were there. We look back to last week and You were there. We look back to last month and You’ve been there all the way we look through our lives and see how the guidance of the Scriptures that You have always been at work and will always continue to Father us and to love us and we love You, we adore You, we worship You. There is none like You and even saying that is ridiculous. There is none even close. The only thing that is close is that Your Spirit is within us and You are empowering us to bring good news and light into this world and so often we squelch that. So, Holy Spirit come, thank You for Your patience and kindness toward us. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayers and Encouragements:

This is Trusting God in Texas and I just wanted to thank His Little Sharie for praying for those of us including yourself, who have trouble walking. I have been praying for you since I heard you first speak a couple years ago. I heard you recently talk about having to walk into church with a walker. I know what it’s like to have people look at you because you don’t walk well and that you need help walk. I’ve had trouble walking my whole life and even though my Long Walk will consist of the Long Walk for me in the parking lot to the door of my clinic I still pray when I do my Long Walk. I have my husband help me walk and I have a cane. But I wanted to read one of my favorite verses, passages in the Bible and it comes from Isaiah chapter 40 and it says He gives power to the weak, this is 40 verses 29 through 31 He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might he increases strength even you shall faint and be weary and young men shall utterly fall but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. God bless all of you who are doing the Long Walk today and we will be praying with you and for you. In Jesus name.

Good morning Daily Audio Bible community this is Diane Olive Brown calling from Newberg, Indiana. And it is July 7th but I’m reading July 6th 2021 and it is 7:04 a.m. central time. And we’re gonna take our Long Walk but I just wanted to say thank you Brian, thank you so much. I started with you and now I’m with Daily Audio Bible Chronological and Daily Audio Bible Kids and I love you so much because you understand me, always spoke healing into my heart, always spoke love. And I began with you and now my husband and my granddaughter are joining me and I just want to say thank you for loving me just the way I am. And I remember the times that were most crucial to me. You would speak something just for me. I don’t think you knew it but I want to say thank you and today, I’m going on my Long Walk however it turns out, I’ll report, I’ll send a picture or a short video because this is my Community and I’m all caught up. It took me a long time but I’m all caught up. And I love you guys, I love you.

Good morning DABers. I just want to pray this morning for every request and praise report that we’ve received thus far. Thank You Jesus for hearing the heart of Your people. Lord, we are crying out to You because You are the heart fixer and the mind regulator. And we just want to bless Your name. There are families that are broken Father God, but You bless the broken and save us to be in Your kingdom. We hear the cries of men, literally crying for their position for their heart and their pain. Father God, You are the Balm in Gilead to make the sin sick whole. I would pray for those who are in their bed of affliction who cannot move who are having such a traumatic time with cancer, COVID 19, with all the ailments the devil seems to through at us but Father God You still continue to bless us in our weakness because Your strength is made perfect in our weakness. Lord, it’s just refreshing to hear Your people around the world around the globe, cry out to you in this time that we’re living in. But help us to seek Your face earnestly. Forgive us oh Lord and cleanse our heart, make it pure. Lord, thank You for who You are and who You’ve been to every single one of these DABers throughout their life. Just help us to get a closer walk with You. So that when …

Bye.

1 Chronicles 9-10

A Genealogy of the Returned Exiles

9 So all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And (A)Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their breach of faith. 2 (B)Now the first to (C)dwell again in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the (D)temple servants. 3 And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the sons of (E)Perez the son of Judah. 5 And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. 6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kinsmen, 690. 7 Of the Benjaminites: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah, 8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, Elah the son of Uzzi, son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah; 9 and their kinsmen according to their generations, (F)956. All these were heads of fathers' houses according (G)to their fathers' houses.

10 (H)Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, 11 and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the (I)chief officer of the house of God; 12 and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer; 13 besides their kinsmen, heads of their fathers' houses, 1,760, mighty men for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 (J)Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph; 16 and Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

17 The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their kinsmen (Shallum was the chief); 18 until then they were (K)in the king's gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites. 19 Shallum the son of Kore, son of (L)Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers' house, the (M)Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance. 20 And (N)Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 (O)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22 All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were 212. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. (P)David and Samuel (Q)the seer established them in their office of trust. 23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the house of the tent, as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south. 25 And their kinsmen who were (R)in their villages were obligated to come (S)in every seven days, in turn, to be with these, 26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted to be over (T)the chambers and the treasures of the house of God. 27 And they lodged around the house of God, for on them lay the duty of watching, and (U)they had charge of opening it every morning.

28 Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out. 29 Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the (V)fine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices. 30 Others, of the sons of the priests, (W)prepared the mixing of the spices, 31 and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of (X)Shallum the (Y)Korahite, was entrusted with (Z)making the flat cakes. 32 Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had (AA)charge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.

33 Now these, the (AB)singers, the heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, were in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night. 34 These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, according to their generations, leaders. These lived in Jerusalem.

Saul's Genealogy Repeated

35 (AC)In Gibeon lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, and the name of his wife was Maacah, 36 and his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth; 38 and Mikloth was the father of Shimeam; and these also lived opposite their kinsmen in Jerusalem, with their kinsmen. 39 (AD)Ner fathered Kish, Kish fathered Saul, Saul fathered Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 40 And the son of Jonathan was (AE)Merib-baal, and Merib-baal fathered Micah. 41 The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and (AF)Ahaz.[a] 42 And Ahaz fathered (AG)Jarah, and Jarah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. And Zimri fathered Moza. 43 Moza fathered Binea, and (AH)Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 44 Azel had six sons and these are their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.

The Death of Saul and His Sons

10 (AI)Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mistreat me.” But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. 5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died. 6 Thus Saul died; he and his three sons and all his house died together. 7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the army[b] had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.

8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people. 10 And they put his armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 11 But when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

13 So Saul died (AJ)for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also (AK)consulted a medium, seeking guidance. 14 He (AL)did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and (AM)turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Acts 27:21-44

21 Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, (A)you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this (B)injury and loss. 22 Yet now I urge you to (C)take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For this very night (D)there (E)stood before me (F)an angel of the God (G)to whom I belong and (H)whom I worship, 24 and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; (I)you must stand before Caesar. And behold, (J)God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. 26 But (K)we must (L)run aground on some island.”

27 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. 28 So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms.[a] A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.[b] 29 And fearing that we might (M)run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered (N)the ship's boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it go.

33 As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength,[c] for (O)not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread, and (P)giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat. 36 Then they all (Q)were encouraged and ate some food themselves. 37 (We were in all 276[d] (R)persons in the ship.) 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, (S)throwing out the wheat into the sea.

The Shipwreck

39 Now when it was day, (T)they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore. 40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. 41 But striking a reef,[e] (U)they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf. 42 (V)The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, (W)wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, 44 and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that (X)all were brought safely to land.

Psalm 8

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The (A)Gittith.[a] A Psalm of David.

8 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your (B)name in all the earth!
You have set your (C)glory above the heavens.
2 (D)Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established (E)strength because of your foes,
to still (F)the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I (G)look at your heavens, the work of your (H)fingers,
the moon and the stars, (I)which you have set in place,
4 (J)what is man that you are (K)mindful of him,
and (L)the son of man that you (M)care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than (N)the heavenly beings[b]
and crowned him with (O)glory and honor.
6 You have given him (P)dominion over the works of your hands;
(Q)you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

1 Chronicles 7:1-8:40, Acts 27:1-20, Psalm 7:1-17, Proverbs 18:22

Today is the 9th day of July, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible, I’m Brian, it’s great to be here with you, like every day of our lives it’s great to be here around the Global Campfire taking the next step forward together on our voyage through the Scriptures this year and obviously we’re well on our way. We’ve just begun, but we are definitely in the second half and so let’s dive in we’re working our way through the book of 1 Chronicles in the Old Testament, we’re reading from the English Standard Version this week, 1 Chronicles chapter 7 and 8.

Commentary:

Alright so, in the Book of Acts, Paul had appealed to Caesar, which was his right to appeal to the emperor his case. We read all this, it was largely because the Jewish people wanted Paul to be tried in Jerusalem because they were gonna kill him and he knew of all this, and he was safely in Roman jurisdiction where he should be tried and so he appealed to Caesar and so now we’re sailing again. The, well, Paul is to be delivered to Rome to await his turn to stand before the emperor so we will watch that story unfold.

There’s something in our reading from Psalm 7 today that is really, really interesting and really provocative and should make us stop and think for a second. The wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies he makes a pit digging it out and falls into the hole that he is made his mischief returns upon his own head and on his own skull his violence descends. Go read this and say yeah, generally this is the law of sowing and reaping right, like you get back what you give you reap what you sow, but the language here is what’s so provocative: the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. The idea of conception and pregnancy and birth are very familiar probably to many, many, many, many of us definitely has been something very near to us with the birth of Reagan, our little angel who is such a blessing and gift and to look forward to another granddaughter this year. So, like the concepts here conception, pregnancy, birth, we understand that that’s how new life comes into the world. But the Bible is saying this is how deception comes into the world as well. The wicked man conceives, so conception is a super intimate thing right. The wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and incubating right, nurturing and incubating and feeding and giving life to mischief and ultimately gives birth to lies right, to deception in this world, that brings it really, really near right. It’s not like a little lie or I this, or I was, I deceived them in this way like what we understand is now, this is really deep inside of us really intimate. Intimate is conception and pregnancy and birth. And truly these should not be things we want to give birth to in our lives because as the Psalm says I only do that we’re going to fall into our own trap the Scripture says his mischief returns up on his own head. Okay, that’s the mischief that the person was pregnant with right. The wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief, his mischief returns upon his own head after he gives birth to lies. This is like not where we probably need to be heading in our lives, it’s only bad things and so let’s give that some thought today and actually give it some thought in the framework that the Bible is giving us because it’s giving us this really, really intimate picture. And so, what were invited to do is to think about how we might be incubating.

Prayer:

So Jesus, we invite you into that because we are such an interesting, we can have all kinds of things going on in different compartments in our lives and yet you are inviting us to be whole like not compartmentalized and not conceiving evil and being pregnant with mischief and giving birth to lies and deception in this world. If we’re going to be intimate and allow something within us, to be incubated within us than we want it to be the fruit of your spirit. And so come, Holy Spirit show us the blazes where were incubating things that are only going to harm us. Help us to root those things out and walk away from them we pray in the mighty name of Jesus we ask. Amen.

Prayers and Encouragement:

What’s up everybody, gotta keep this short and sweet. Please pray for my brother man Mike Lee, brother man Mike Lee is struggling immensely right now and he could really use our prayer. Alright, have a wonderful day.

Hey everyone it’s Margo here, missionary in Liberia. I haven’t called in for a while, I’ve been attempting to not be high maintenance but I can’t, I can’t maintain that facade anymore, I need little maintenance. It’s been a very hard year for my husband and I in Liberia. I feel like I might be just drowning a little bit. I just, the challenges are so huge. And there’s been so much difficult stuff that’s happened. The hospitals basically run out of money and at the office we had to fire a couple of our national staff members because they were corrupt and that was just really heart breaking. I don’t know there’s just so much stuff. And I’ve been crying out to God, what is my purpose? You know, what would you have me do right now? And it feels like the things I do, it’s just a drop in the ocean. I do think that I’ve probably got major compassion fatigue. And I’m just feeling a bit over it all. But I don’t want this to end badly. And so, I’m asking for prayer. That’s what I need, I need prayer. So, thank you, thank you for your prayers. I love you all, bye.

Good afternoon DAB family, God bless you all. Someone called in for Salso who received a liver and kidney and knee transplant and now his body is rejecting the knee, the knee has an infection, I am praying for him, for his healing in the name of Jesus. I am praying for his wife Jerry as she has been faithful taking care of her husband. I am praying for the Lord to help her and guide her and strengthen her in the name of Jesus.

Hey DAB friends this is Alan in Australia a missionary in New South Wales. I just want you to know that we did our Long Walk a day early and the weather cooperated. Thank you so much Brian, for putting together that Heart. It was so worth the purchase. My wife and I really, really was touched through that journey. We journaled and listened and prayed and so as soon as you get that link up, we will post our pictures as well. But thank you so much for that opportunity and this idea, it’s so beautiful, we loved it and we always walk away saying “we should do this more often.” So, we’re gonna try to use your app and this journey of prayer and meditation like once a month or every other month, try to get away for a day and do this regularly. God bless you guys, we’re praying for you and remember God’s word is always true, always.

Hi Daily Audio Bible family, To Be a Blessing in California just wanted to let you know that I’m praying for you this community when I hear the folks calling in and leaving their requests, just wanted to let you know that I gotcha, better yet God’s gotcha. Hey, could you do me a favor and pray for my brother, he is expecting surgery on the 14th for spinal fusion. He’s in excruciating pain now and just want to ask for prayers that the insurance will come through, pay for what needs to be paid for, for his medical team the surgeons and the medical professionals for his recovery. But most importantly that he will know how much God loves him and will touch his heart and he’ll open his heart to the love of God. And just that as I interact with him after the surgery that God will give me the right words to say. Also, I would like to ask for prayers for my own work transition. I’ve asked my boss to do something different and she seemed to be open to it. But she does not have the final say so asking that God will put His hands on my work and will give me the patience and grace to wait for Him to lead in the direction He wants me to go. Lastly, if you could pray for the marriages. I’m thinking of the marriages here on the line that people speak of and need help with. My church community, a lot of parents, a lot of couples are struggling and I just ask that you would pray for them. God loves you. Always remember that you’re His favorite, his very favorite. God Bless you, To Be a Blessing in California. Talk to you later, Bye bye.
