Psalm 102-104

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible Chronological. I’m China. Today is the 30th day of April.  Welcome. It is so great to be here with you guys today. It’s always great to be here with you guys today. And I am just so thankful for another day to be in the presence of the Lord and reading his word. And that in itself is just so good.

And so today we continue in the book of Psalms.  We’re gonna be in Psalm 102-104. And we continue with the Common English Bible for this week.

Commentary

I think that’s something that’s so good.  And that I really feel like is a reminder for a lot of our souls and our spirits to remember that the Lord isn’t after to accuse or to judge or to point fingers or any of that. But rather his heart is to-like any good father would, they discipline. And, you know, I remember being disciplined as a kid because my dad was a good dad. And so just to think, okay let’s think about this. Father God, you are Father God. So what that means there’s probably some aspects of the father that I haven’t or have not seen. And so really just getting to see, okay, alright. This is your heart, Lord. I have to trust that this is good, even if I haven’t seen the natural because I have probably the best father on the planet. And understanding that not everyone had the same upbringing that I did was very foreign to my brain.  And so when you kind of mix in the father wound and then trying to understand Father God- that can be complex and that can be very hard and that can really hurt your brain and cause your heart  to have mistrust. And so really and truly, I think what was said was so good about how he doesn’t judge you according to your sin. He doesn’t say, this was a level ten sin. Level ten punishment. Wow, death row man!  This was awful. But rather he has grace and he has kindness and he has goodness. And that’s the part of the father’s heart that is so good and is so under looked. And people think that just sounds too good to be true. You don’t know what I’ve done. And while I don’t know what you’ve done, I know that the Father does. And he knows that you probably need more love and compassion more than you need pointed fingers or shaking fists in your hand or loud voices in your face. He knows what you need. And I think it’s so good to just know that we can trust him because he is so good.

Prayer

So Jesus, we thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your steadfast love and kindness, you’re kindness that leads us to repentance. And so Jesus, I pray that your kindness would make us whole. And Lord, we thank you and we love you and we appreciate your heart towards us. And it’s in your Son’s name we pray. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise

Good morning DABC family.  This is Walta, the burning bush that will not be devoured for the glory of our God and our King.  Today is the 24th of April.  I’ve got two prayer requests.  One is for my seven year-old and his classmates.  They’re traveling from Charlotte, North Carolina to (Wynford), Virginia today for a trip and they’re gonna be there for two days and two nights.  Please pray for protection over all the kids and all the chaperones and the teachers.  I pray that God will give them safety and protection and that they will come back home to us. Also, last year to this day, April 24, I lost my beloved mother.  My mom was the closest person to me.  She was an amazing mother. An amazing woman of faith.  She introduced me to God in my childhood and her life was a gospel.  She didn’t speak much, but her life was a gospel. And just pray for us as we remember, as Brian once said, the weightiness of the presence of God.  As we remember her.  Just pray for my family, pray for me specifically because she and I were really close.  And, yeah, I’m just grateful. I’m praising God for the amazing mother. This woman did everything from teaching me how to sew to praying for rain in the dry season during the war and praying for food and watching God provide for us. So thank you for praying for my family and my son David.  Love you guys. Bye.

Hi DABC family. This is Sarah in Nebraska and it’s early Wednesday morning. The Wednesday before China’s wedding. I’m just calling in to pray a blessing over Ben and China and their special day.  I’m just praying for peace and unsurpassed joy (for) both of you and patience.  Weddings can be stressful,  just the details of it all, and I just pray patience and peace and joy to flow over and through every fibre of China’s and Ben’s bodies and life and that the day just be everything that they both hope for. I know they’ll both put Jesus in the centre of this marriage and I just thank you Lord that they found one another.  Blessings to you both and I pray for a beautiful day. A beautiful and shiny,  moderately warm day for you both. Good luck, China. Good luck Ben. Love you both.

Hey DABCers. This is Nathan from Alabama. It’s April 24th (6) A.M. It’s my second time calling in and this time I wanted to call in for a prayer request for my wife. She has really lived the life of the school of hard knocks. She’s had a lot of things go wrong in her life and some circumstances that she cannot control.  And she’s finally in a place where I believe she’s beginning to see value and take pride in the life that God has given her to live. And so I’m just asking for prayer.  She’s in school and she’s got finals coming up and she’s about to graduate.  And she’s doubting whether or not she’s gonna be able to pass finals or not.  I just pray.  My prayer for her is that she would just pass these with flying colours and that that would help confirm some of the things that God is speaking into her life and has already spoken into her life. And I know she’s not defined by the grades or excelling in (her school life), but I just, I feel like this is a time where she needs that confirmation. So I just ask you to join me in prayer. Thank you.
