Leviticus 24:1-25:46, Mark 10:13-31, Psalms 44:9-26, Provers 10:20-21
Today is the 1st day of March welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian and it’s great to be here with you today as we greet the threshold, the brand-new beginning of a brand-new month. We’ve never lived this month. We’ve lived other March’s, but not this one. And there’s a story to tell. Out there, the story of this month. How are we gonna tell it. We’re gonna tell it with the choices that we make and the words that we say and the actions that…that we enact. And one of the ways that we can shepherd that, shepherd ourselves is by pouring the word of God into our lives each and every day. And that’s what we do here around the Global Campfire. So, it’s exciting to step through this threshold into the third month of the year, day 60 of our journey of 365 days. And even though we’re stepping into a new threshold in a brand-new month we’ll pick up right where we left off, working our way through the book of Leviticus and the giving of the law. And, so, today Leviticus chapter 24 verse 1, to 25 verse 46.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word and we thank You for bringing us safely here to this threshold, stepping into this brand-new month, this third month of the year on our journey. And we look back over the first two months and thank You. Thank You. You have rescued us, You have given us wisdom, You have helped us, You have redeemed us and we are grateful, and we are grateful for the instruction. But if we just hear the word but don’t become doers, something that we’ll learn about later in the Scriptures, if it’s just words it’s not doing anything but when those words go inside of us and begin to move around and they begin to become concepts to us and they begin to become realities to us than transformation is happening and that is what we’re looking for. And, so, even in the story in the Gospel of Mark today we’re Jesus, You talk about the little children coming to You, the same thing that we were talking about yesterday. Give us this heart. Give us the heart of a child when it comes to You and give us the wisdom to navigate this world with all of its splendor, but with all of its evil. But when it comes to You may our hearts be pure, trusting like a little child. You are our source. Whenever we can’t see You may we get like a little child looking for his parents. We don’t want to be out of Your sight. We don’t want to wander anywhere ever again. We want to walk with You and You want to walk with us and that is staggering. And, so, as we walk together into this month help us humble ourselves before You and trust like a child even as we move forward in our days. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hi this is Dave, David the beloved child of God in Northern California. I call myself that to remind myself because it…it’s not it’s not in my heart completely. Anyways the reason I’m calling in is because I need prayer about my anger issues. It’s been a continual battle for me over the last…probably most of my life but definitely the past couple of years, especially towards my…my daughter and son in law. And they’re coming to visit. So, when you hear this message they will probably be in my home with me for a couple days. And I’m anxious about them coming because they trigger me and make me upset and they… Anyways, it’s not about their actions it’s about my anger. Please pray that the Lord will uproot this bitterness inside of me. Brian was talking the other day about being clean and unclean and how sores underneath the skin and mold and mildew below the surface can cause so much destruction. And that is apropos for my anger issue. It is exactly something that is festering, and I need help. So…and I need prayer. So, I’m praying for anyone else dealing with issues in anger and their…their tension and their relationships with their adult children. I get it. And I ask that you be praying when you hear this message because my kids will probably be in my home. So, pray for peace and honesty and love and that the Lord would be glorified. Thank you.
