Exodus 8:1-9:35, Matthew 19:13-30, Psalms 24:1-10, Proverbs 6:1-5

Today is the 29th day of January welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is awesome to be here with you today as we gather and as we move into the Scriptures and take the next step forward together. We are getting ourselves quite moved into the book of Exodus now. And, so, we…we can kinda see that there is a showdown of sorts materializing. One between Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and one between the God of Israel, and there have been some tests along the way, some proofs, some miraculous signs for Pharaoh to see. And he’s been able to replicate some of those with the magic arts of his magicians. But God is about to move things into a way that cannot be replicated. And, so, let’s take the next step. Exodus, chapters 8 and 9.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for bringing us these weeks into this brand-new year and all that You are speaking. And as we watch the hardness of Pharaoh’s heart and the devastation that it is bringing upon him, we recognize that You said it would happen, but we also recognize that he could have humbled himself a lot earlier and all of these things didn’t have to come upon the land of Egypt had they humbled themselves before You, which becomes a mirror into our own lives. And we begin to think of all that…that we could’ve avoided, but our rebellion has often…has often brought great devastation into our lives. And even as we read from the Gospel of Matthew today, this very famous story that parable of the rich young ruler, we realize that whatever we are clinging to or holding onto or leaning on or depending on that is between us is not in its proper alignment. Anything that is between us that we are not willing to surrender is in the wrong place. And, so, as we consider these things today, we invite Your Holy Spirit to come and speak to us and surface things and reveal to us the directions that we are headed in and where they are going, that we might humble ourselves before You and return. Come Holy Spirit into this we pray. In the name of Jesus, we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hi this is Naleen from Dubai again. I…I just want to give a praise report. I called in about a year ago - all the problems at work and a very bad boss - and finally the last couple of months it’s gone well. Got a new boss and he’s so kind and a good general manager. So, thank you God. Thank you, Jesus. Today I’m calling from my brother. He’s in England. He has a family of four, his wife. And he’s a…he’s a good man. He’s a great believer and everything is not too much for him. But now he needs prayers. His name is Lloyd… To find a job. He had a very good job but with the crisis especially in England with COVID they had to downsize the company and…and he's…he’s from south Africa like me but to go back is not possible and I just…his kids are happy in the school. So, please just pray for…for us for him. And whatever God willing has to happen. And just thank you for this this wonderful place. And thank you for all of you. I listen to all of your prayers, and I pray along, and I believe so much in this. Thank you. Have a great day. Bye.

Hi, it’s me Kaylie and I’m praying for my friend Azzahra. God, please help her to feel better soon. Please help her to be able to fight the cancer soon. Please help You to make her well soon and please help her to get better soon. Please help the treatments will help her feel better soon and…

Dear God we lifted the farmer’s wife and the farmer and we pray that You will bless their family, bless their child who…in their womb Lord and pray that they will nurture their child’s spirit as it grows and that they will just give all of their worries and uncertainties and unknowns to You and that they’re in Your hands so that they can rest in You, so that they can grow in You and so their child can also rest and grow in You Lord. I just pray that You will provide for them and that they will just have a blessed marriage and parenthood in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hello family this is Harmony in the Hill Country. There are so many in this family that are struggling with thoughts of suicide. Someone I love greatly is struggling with this right now and I’d like to ask you to please pray for them and pray for all of us who are walking with them. The many DABbers that are struggling know that I am praying for you. There are so many people here praying for you and you are not alone. The thing that strikes me is the depth of this spiritual warfare. Satan attacks hardest the greatest threats to his Kingdom of darkness. And how great of a threat to him you must be if he is going after your very life. Think about that. It is less of a threat to him to try to send you to Jesus than to let you say on this earth and mess up his plans. That means that God has great work for you this side of heaven that isn’t done yet. And Satan is scared of you. Please don’t give him that victory. I am still the side of heaven because of therapy and medication and if you are struggling, I beg you to please give that a try. If you tried before and it didn’t work, please try again. Don’t be afraid to call the hotlines. Some even at testing options. A good therapist can help you make a safety plan if you can’t afford it there are even options for help and support. Suicide prevention hotlines are a really great place to start. Please call one today. Keep fighting. We have a lot of work here left to do. And someday I will celebrate with you in heaven, and it will be wonderful. But that time is not now. Don’t let Satan convince you to leave early. Please…please say.

Hi, I’m the first-time caller I’ve been listening to since about 2014 and right now…last year was a really hard. My husband had major surgery on his heart and now I’m just concerned about him in general. I mean, it’s hard to see your husband lose his confidence because of health. Lord, I…I thank You for this podcast. I thank You for everything You do. I need prayer to help us through, make us stronger. And thank You for everything You do. Thank You for this podcast. My…I’m from Virginia. My name’s Kimberly and right now my hope is a little depleted. I just…sometimes I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do. Only God can fix this. I need your help. I’m just helpless. I don’t want to feel that way, but I do. I just want the best for him and everybody in my life and people that aren’t in my life. Thank you for your time.
