Exodus 2:11-3:22, Matthew 17:10-27, Psalms 22:1-18, Proverbs 5:7-14
Today is the 26th day of January. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian and it is great to be here with you today as we close another week down. And, ironically, we’re concluding the last full week of the month of January. This time next week we’ll be in in the next month, February. And that’s how it works, step-by-step, day by day. So, today’s step forward in the Scriptures, at least in the Old Testament, will take us back into the book of Exodus, which we’ve just begun, and we’re getting to know the story of Moses. So, from the English Standard Version. Exodus chapter 2 verse 11 through 3 verse 22 today.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for another week in Your word and as we were saying at the beginning, we look out into the future another week and we will have crossed the threshold into a new month. And, so, we are beginning to feel the rhythm of this year. We are beginning to feel the rhythm of the Scriptures. And now that we’re several weeks into this journey we’re starting to feel the strength that comes from allowing Your word to be a part of our lives each and every day. And, so, we thank You for Your faithfulness to us in every conceivable way, including the gift of Your word. And as we prepare to release this week and allow it to drift and become a part of our history, we do so with gratefulness, with a grateful heart knowing that You love us, are carrying us, You are sustaining us. And although we may thrash and kick about, You are fathering us. And, so, we thank You and we look forward into the coming week for all that You will do and say through Your word. So, come Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

Hello DAB family today is the 21st of January and I’m just making my way through the 19th of January’s prayer and encouragement line. Like so many who’ve called and, I was so, so happy to hear the voice of Prodigal. You know…it was just amazing. I just feel the same way as everyone else has expressed when they’ve called in about that. But there was also Sharon who called in shortly after Prodigal, I believe that’s her name. And you lost your daughter to suicide and shortly after that your husband left and left you alone to the holiday and you called in again. Sharon, and anybody else, anybody else who called in and is contemplating suicide, I hope that you have heard the love that pours out through this family, the desire of our heart to see you well and to hear your voices again. So, Sharon I am praying that you also call in and lift up our spirits with just letting us know…maybe not everything taken care of…but just letting us know that you’re okay because we love you, it’s not fiction, it’s…I mean…we don’t see each other, we don’t, you know, know each other on a face-to-face basis but our spirits are linked to our Lord Jesus Christ who we are all his children. And sister, we love you and we are waiting to hear back from you as well. So, I just wanted to call in and say that. So, anyways, I hope to hear from you soon Sharon. Thanks. Bye.
Hi this is Rebecca from Arkansas. Very grateful to the Daily Audio Bible. I’ve just started listening beginning January 1st. I listen to it on my way to work. My husband was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease about a year and half ago. We think he’s been sick for about 2 ½ years. It’s really, really hard on both of us and I have a wonderful faith community and so very supportive. But there are days where I just feel very frustrated, anxious, afraid, stressed and alone. So, we appreciate your prayers. I…yeah…days are hard sometimes and I’m glad I’m a person of faith, I’m glad I have the Bible to listen to. It would just be nice to know that your praying with and for me. Blessings on you all. Bye.
Hey brothers and sisters, this is Sarah McAvoy from Georgia. I called a couple times back at least a year ago just for prayer requests but I wanted to let you know that I’ve been listening since December 2016 when out of desperation I needed to hear the word of God. I used to have my own prayer time, reading my Bible every day, and when I got a job the Christian school there was no time, no, zero time for me to read my Bible and I was just looking for something, any app that would give me a Bible reading and I found DAB and I had found others, I didn’t like them it was really blah kind of voices but when I heard Brian’s voice it just spoke to me and I began listening and has been my source of the word of God. I just am searching for and am thankful to people who pray. And I want you to know that I’m there for you also. I have found so much there. My prayer request is for my daughter Alecia and her daughter Kristi. Kristi has gender issues. She says that she’s a boy, Marco, she’s only 17. It’s been a strained relationship since then and that is…I pray for others that I know are dealing with children who have gender issues and become a strained issue. I’m just gonna be lifting you up in prayer as you lift up my Alecia and Kristi. In Jesus’ name. Goodbye.
Today is Monday, January 21st and I’m calling because I’ve heard a lot of calls lately, I’ve been listening almost since the beginning, and I heard a lot of calls about our family and I just am so blessed for the Daily Audio Bible family and I just feel so blessed to be a part of it and there’s so many people that we know but we don’t know. We hear their voices, we know their voices, we love them. I remember when I first started listening, I was so amazed by hearing Brian say, “I love you” always at the end of the podcast. And now I totally understand that. There are so many people. Asia, I heard your story for so many years, what you’ve gone through from when you start looking for a husband and now related…so sorry about your loss. Blind Tony, Viola…Viola…we heard your voice for so many years, you are an amazing person that just…anyway my time is running out…
Good morning Daily Audio Bible family, my name is Mary, I’m from Indianapolis. I listen to the Daily Audio Bible frequently, but I don’t call in very often. I just am so encouraged, and I feel like Elizabeth when Mary the mother of Jesus came to visit her. Her baby John leapt in her womb as the Holy Spirit filled her. And when I listen to Brian read the word and expand on it. When I listen to the prayers and the love pour out from each one of you as you call in and share your prayer requests and pray for others I feel a Holy Spirit leap within me and I rejoice. I’m so encouraged, I feel like life is exciting and God’s Word is going out and there’s purpose. It’s just so encouraging to be a part of a group of people around the world who care for and love one another in this way. So, I praise God. I also praise God for Brian, for the Daily Audio Bible. I have often been deeply moved by what I’ve heard, particularly one day a couple of years ago I was listening, and Brian said, as he does every day, “I’m Brian I love you I’ll be waiting for you here tomorrow.” And it felt like that was God speaking to me. And I knew his love in a new way. It sounds so simple but it’s true. Also, “come Holy Spirit we pray” in every prayer. That is my prayer. And for each…for me…for each one of us, I just praise God that He does that, He does come to us, His Holy Spirit each day and we are able to walk in a way that we would be unable to without Him. God bless you all. Much love.
