2 Chronicles 30:1-31:21, Romans 15:1-22, Psalm 25:1-15, Proverbs 20:13-15

Today is August 1st welcome to the Daily Audio Bible, I am Brian, it is great to be here with you as we, well, we’re beginning a new week so we swing open the threshold, look out at the shiny sparkly week in front of us. But now we’re also opening up these huge windows into a brand-new month. So, that’s out in front of us as well. Welcome to the 8th month of the year. Today is the 213th day of this year. So, 212 days in a row we’ve been together taking steps that have led us to this point in the year and this point in the Bible and now we get to launch into this month and see what it brings as we gather here around the Global Campfire each day. So, we got a brand-new week. We’ll read from the God’s Word Translation this week. We have been reading from the book of 2 Chronicles for a while now, we will actually conclude 2 Chronicles during this week and move into some new territory there. So, as we move into this eighth month, we’re moving into…into a bunch of new territory. But that’s always fun, that’s the adventure of it. So, let’s dive in for today, 2 Chronicles chapter…chapters 30 and 31.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for bringing us this far into it, into this year and into the Scriptures. We thank You for these times of new beginnings and here we are beginning this first week of the month. As we begin the month, first day of a new month, first day of a new week and it reminds us once again that we always have an opportunity to start over. We always can make the next right step, the next right decision and with your guidance if we’ll slow down and be counseled by wisdom and by the Scriptures, we will eventually be consistently taking the next right step and once we’ve achieved that we will be walking in the right way. So, Lord come, even in this new month and anyway that we’ve gotten off by a few degrees, or we’re moving in the wrong direction or that You would bring us back under the narrow path that leads to life. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayers and Encouragements:

Hello DAB brothers and sisters. This is John from Rhode Island calling…calling today to ask for your prayers for my sons girlfriend Nicole who is undergoing surgery tomorrow to remove golf ball sized tumor from her brain, it’s lodged at the back of her brain stem and the surgery is incredibly long complex, as is the recovery which is gonna take several weeks. If you could just pray for Nicole that the surgery goes smoothly that her covering his full, complete, and as quickly as possible, gets her back to health. We would truly, truly be grateful. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and our family. And, also that through this process, perhaps you may draw closer to God. That her faith may grow and her knowledge and love of Jesus and that He has her in the palm of His hand. That would be so wonderful, many thanks.

Good evening DAB family God Bless you all. Diane Olive Brown, yes, we always trust ourselves in the presence of the Lord. He is the safest place to be. Someone from the UK called in regarding needing prayer for their families, especially with family holiday coming, may you humble yourselves toward each other and rekindle your relationship. Father God, we just ask You in the name of Jesus Father God, to restore, Father God, the brokenness that has transpired within this family Father God. Unite them Father God, once again Father God, that they will not remember their hurt or what has separated them but instead remember the love Father God, in the name of Jesus, Father God. Bringing them together in the name of Jesus. Hally Heart thank you for praying for me I really appreciate that in the name of Jesus. And yes, you are right God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, of love and of sound mind, hallelujah, thank You Jesus. Ann Marie from Minnesota, I am praying for all the loses in your life. I am so sorry you know, in regard to the loss of your son and what’s happening you’re your parents now simultaneously. Your sister-in-law and you know, your brother and the suffering. And the small children and your other brother who has not had a home. I am praying in the name of Jesus for the God, the comforter to be with you in all of this. To guide you, you know, day-by-day, in the name of Jesus. I am praying for our comforter to be with your family, your brother as he navigates life without his life. With your homeless brother that he should have a home. With your parents I am believing in healing in the name of Jesus for your entire family. I love you, Esther from Kissimmee.

Yes hi, my name is Bill I’m calling in from Aspen, Colorado. It’s my first time calling I’ve been listening to Daily Audio Bible for over a year now. Thank you, Brian, for this gift. I’m calling to pray for Diane in Denver. I heard your story about her daughter being denied a liver in Texas and she passed away several weeks ago and Diane’s struggle. Diane I prayed for you and my words of encouragement are your daughter is alive, she is with Christ and she is happy and she is with our creator. You must endure, as all those who’ve lost loved ones must and it’s a difficult road. But, take joy knowing that Christ died for you and for your daughter. And your daughter is redeemed and she is with Him. And you will one day be reunited with her. You are a light here in the time you have on this earth. And it may be lonely at times you can help others along their path who’ve lost loved ones. I hope that brings you some comfort but you will be reunited with your daughter and she is with Jesus which is a beautiful thing. Thinking of you, much love, have a good day.

Morning everybody, good morning. We just had our quiet time and we wanted to sing you a little bit, don’t we Pete, okay. Are you ready? Yup.
Be lifted up my soul, be lifted up into heavenly places in Christ Jesus
Be lifted up my soul, be lifted up into heavenly places in the Lord.
For the Lord is gracious and merciful, He’s slow to anger and swift to bless
Be lifted up, be lifted up, be lifted up my soul, be lifted up
Be lifted up, be lifted up, be lifted up my soul, be lifted up. Woow!
Now then, I want to share some thing that caught my eye this morning. It’s in Hebrews 13: 15 and it says “Therefore, by Him let us to continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of our lips.” When we offer praise to God, it doesn’t come from us it comes from Him who puts the praise on our lips and in our heart. Isn’t that just great? So, be lifted up everybody into heavenly places in Christ Jesus today. May the joy of the Lord be your strength. It’s been a really tough year. I’ve wanted to ring in so often but there’s been so many tears and I know it’s okay to ___. I wanted to share some things when my tears are dried a little. So, I’m just not blurring all over the place. But, be lifted up my soul, be lifted up into heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Times ticking…
