Today is the 15th day of June. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian and it’s great to be here with you today as we reach the conclusion of another week and as we reach dead center of the sixth month of the year. It’s great to be here with you today. So, we’ve been reading from the English Standard Version this week and man we’ve covered some ground and some serious things have happened in both Old and New Testaments this week. And we will pick up the story of the divided kingdom in first Kings today. First Kings chapter 14 verse 1 through 15 verse 24.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for bringing us to the end of another week that we share together, for bringing us here to the middle of this month. Thank You, God for Your faithfulness, and Your kindness, and Your generosity, and Your compassion, and Your empathy, and Your long-suffering. And we could go on and on and on and on and even if we used all of the words that we could possibly think of in the English language to bestow worship upon You in adoration, we would not be scratching the surface because as much as we think we know, we know so little. You are so big, You are so vast, You are so eternal, You are so good. And You have declared us children and given us life. And, so, we are grateful. We honor You and we worship You and we adore You. And as we release this week and it floats away and becomes a part of our history we also look forward to all that You will do in the coming week. Come Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hi, this is Rita. My sister shared the DAB with me over four years ago. It’s been a totally daily blessing and it really clicks when Brian shares the Scripture audibly. I’m so thankful for it. I need prayer for a biopsy I will have tomorrow. A year ago, a shoulder x-ray showed some spots on my lung. I had three CT scans within that year and one of them, the last one, showed growth on one of the spots. So, tomorrow I’m gonna get a biopsy and I just want to pray that its not cancer or that God will get me through this. This has helped me so much during this time, it’s a paraphrased poem I learned years ago, it’s Proverbs 3:5-6, paraphrased poem. “He does not lead me year-by-year nor even day by day but step-by-step my path unfolds the Lord directs my way. And I am glad that it is so, today’s enough to bear, and when tomorrow comes His grace shall far exceed its care. Why need to worry then or fret, the God who gave His son holds all my moments in His hands and gives them one by one.” I pray for all of you and I love all of you and I just hope that all the prayers are answered. Bye-bye.
Hello. Hi, DABber Drew encouraged us who are desperate to call, so that’s what I’m doing. Since November I’ve been desperate for financial breakthrough. I am a 10 year…I’ve been saved for 10 years and I’m an avid tither and I’m waiting for the Lord to open the floodgates of heaven. I’m a real estate agent and I have a few listings, but I need buyers. I’m down to my last pennies and I need a larger group of believers to pray for me. I believe that with your prayers this breakthrough will occur. I’m also a single woman. So, I ask for your prayers. And DABber Drew, thank you for encouraging me to call. God bless you all.
Hello Daily Audio Bible listeners and family. I just have a praise report. I’m sorry I didn’t call the day my daughter’s wedding. This is God’s Girl from Bakersfield. I’d just like to thank my whole family which is you for praying so hard and diligently. My daughter was able to walk down the aisle with her dad. And, so, it was a glorious day and just God’s presence was through it in every single second from morning till the evening and I just praise you all and praise Jesus and thank you all for just praying for us. I’d like to extend a prayerful heart and deep hug for Toni in Germany. I’m with you sister, it’s really tough sometimes, feeling like you’re not intentional or I forget the word that you used, I had it in my mind…intentional or…I forget what it was, but I just know that you’re not…don’t lose heart girl. I’m with you. I’ll pray with you. Just know that there’s a sister out here in California that loves you and there are so many people that I pray for daily. This podcast has enriched my life. I’ve been listening for 3…almost 4 years now and I just want to tell you how happy I am that I am a part of this family. So, I’m praying for you Tony, I’m with you, and don’t lose heart. Jesus is with us. He left us His Holy Spirit in his place. So, I know that we’re strengthened by that every day. I love you. Thank you all.
Hello Daily Audio Bible, this is my first time calling and I’ve been listening to Daily Audio Bible since about Easter and it’s really done some amazing things in my life but I’m calling because I just have a lot of anxiety about some relationships and some…some work-related things that are going on. And it’s mostly self-inflicted, just letting things condemn me that I know that God doesn’t want to condemn me. But it’s difficult to…I guess…maintain making sure that those don’t condemn me. So, I’d really love some agreement in prayer at that fear of fear and my anxiety has no place in my body or my mind or in my thoughts. So, thanks for your prayers and thank you.
