2 Samuel 23:24-24:25, Acts 3:1-26, Psalm 123:1-4, Proverbs 16:21-23
Today is the 5th day of June welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is great to be here with you as we end a week together. We’re also ending a book together, we’re ending the book of 2 Samuel today. And so, as we begin a new week tomorrow we’ll move into some new territory. And I guess fully get ourselves moved into the month of June, the 6th month of the year. But we’re hear now, today is today. And we’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week, 2 Samuel chapter 23 verse 24 through chapter 24 verse 25.
Prayer:
Father we thank You for Your word. We thank You for another week, this concludes our first week in this 6thmonth and yeah, we transitioned in this week from last month until this month. So, from May until June and we find ourselves transitioning in the books in the scriptures as we continue our journey and so we’re thanking you. We’re recognizing that, we’re recognizing that you brought us here day-by-day, step-by-step, successfully we have navigated to this place as you have let us by the power of Your Holy Spirit through the scriptures and so, we’re grateful, that’s what I’m trying to say, we’re worshiping You because we’re grateful, our hearts are open. And so, come Holy Spirit and continue to lead us forward day-by-day we ask. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Or you can just get a bag or check out the varietals of tea that we import for this very purpose. It slows us down and maybe we’re drinking it in the car on your commute to work but this little ritual of waking up and having that hot beverage and allowing the scriptures to speak into our lives.

Prayers and Encouragement:
Hey my name’s Andrew I’ve never called in before but I’ve been listening for almost a year now every morning. I really need to ask for prayer, this year I’ve been…I’ve been dating a new girl. And I’m 21 years old so I’m still pretty young and foolish sometimes but I…I know better and this year I kind of strayed away from everything I knew and for some reason I just wanted to ignore it all. And it…this year I kinda just kept getting farther away from God. And I had this pile of…it felt like a pile of sin that’s just kept been…it just been piling up. And I realize the more you let it pile up and hide from that the worse it gets. So, I came clean to her about everything I was hiding and a lot. There…There’s so much, I mean, I don’t deserve…I don’t deserve a lot but I know that God loves me and I want…I want to embrace that and I want to live for him. So, I just want to ask you guys to pray for me. I love you all. Thank you. Have a good day.
Good morning DAB family this is Judy from Georgia today’s Wednesday, June 2nd. And I was just listening to Brian talk about John 21 and I’m going to take these words with me every day now. What is that to you, follow me. This is great because I need this every day when things come up and I get distracted by what somebody else might be saying or doing. So, from this point on that’s what I’m going to say whenever something gets to me and I’m just going to say to myself, what’s that to me and follow Jesus. So, everybody have a great day and bless you all.

Good morning DAB family this is Gwenny from Texas. It’s Wednesday, June 2nd and I want you all to know that I continue to pray for you all in spirit. But there was one prayer request that I heard this morning that I want to lift up a young…a lady she said her name was Running Desperately to Jesus and…I love that name. And so, Father I just want to lift her up because today…tomorrow is her mother’s anniversary, the day she passed and I want you to know also this lady tomorrow’s my son’s anniversary, the day he passed, he passed on June 3rd 2010 from a motorcycle accident so I know what you’re feeling tomorrow cause I’m gonna be feeling the same for my son. And so, I just lift you up right now. Father, I just lift up this lady to You who is going to feel…is feeling so much pain in June cause she lost her mother on June 3rd and she’s lost her father and other relatives and she’s feeling so much pain. So, Father I just ask that You comfort her right now because I’m gonna need that same comfort too Lord tomorrow remembering my son. So, Father, Your mercies Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit and that’s in Psalms 34:18 so Father I just pray for her I just lift her up and to let her know that I’m gonna be thinking of her tomorrow as well. So, Lord give her comfort, give her peace and let her know that where her mother is, is with you and that she can feel the joy and that she will see her again just like I will see my son again. I pray this in Jesus holy name. God bless you. And know that we love you at DAB. Thank you.
Hello from beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio this is your brother Daniel Johnson Jr. let’s throw a quick log onto the Global Campfire shall we. Okay, so everyone of us right now, of course today is June 2nd Wednesday, we just finished wrapping up the gospels. And what a great story that is but just from the comments today my heart is heavy you know, hurting for so many of us. Every one of us is going through something really big right now. My dad is in treatment for his alcoholism. He’s not happy about being there but he’s there. And he’s ah…we have a family meeting today and it’s gonna be heated. He’s not gonna be happy about having to stay there or some of the things that are going to be said but there…it’s a good thing and I know that God is working through him and I pray that God reaches down into to expose that root cause of what’s going on so that it could be dealt with. So many other callers today that expressed and were going through so much loss but Running Desperately to Jesus, your call was the last one that I heard today and I just started weeping for you because I can’t even imagine the loss that you’re feeling. I know that everything that you’re feeling is normal and it’s okay and that’s alright. Maybe you get a chance to write out this month…you know, taking some time to write out this month some of that unspoken emotional communication that you wished that you could have shared but you get that out of your system and then to share just, you know, those things that you wished you could have said, maybe that’ll help. God Bless you all from beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio this is Daniel Johnson Jr. brother I love you so much, make it a great day.
