Job 8:1-11:20 ~ 1 Corinthians 15:1-28 ~ Psalm 38:1-22 ~ Proverbs 21:28-29
Today is the 23rd of August. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian. It’s a pleasure and an honor and a joy to be here with you today as we collectively step across the threshold and enter a new week. And it’s all waiting for us to live together in the scriptures, together in community, and wherever it is that we are in the world. So, we’ll read from the New Living Translation this week, and we will pick up where we left off yesterday, of course. And where we left off yesterday was in the book of Job. Today we’ll read Job 8:1 – 11:20.
Prayer:
Father, we thank you for this new week, a new week to be in your presence, a new week to be in the scriptures, a new week of life unfolding before us, and we invite you into it all. We need you in it all and we look forward to walking hand in hand with you as our Father as you lead us forward through the journey of the scriptures and as you lead us forward through the journey of life. We welcome you. We love you. We adore you. You are amazing, God, and we are so fortunate that you have been merciful and kind to us. And so we humble ourselves before you and worship you and invite you into everything that we are over this coming week. Come Jesus we pray, in your name, amen.

Community Prayer Requests and Praise Reports:
Hi Daily Audio Bible family, its James R., the teacher in L.A. I just wanted to call in for… I’ve heard two __________ and several other people in my life lately talk about being rejected by their children, not allowed to go to graduations, weddings, not being allowed to associate with family. Speaking as someone who rejected my own father for almost ten years before really reconciling, I got to say I rejected him partly because I got some terrible worldly advice saying that after all he had done to me (and there was a lot), that I didn’t have to forgive him, I didn’t have to reconcile. I should set up boundaries, but I was never encouraged to ever heal or reconcile. And you know at the same time, I have done things to people where they have cut me off and I realized later that I was a jerk. And actually a jerk for Jesus, which is one of the most hurtful things. Sometimes you got to make the first step and ask for forgiveness, ask for reconciliation because if Christ died not just for me when I felt guilty but died for me when I didn’t think I had done anything wrong, I have to ask people to forgive me not only when I’ve done wrong, but for things sometimes I don’t even think were a big deal because I realized I realized I can still hurt people even when I think that I’m right and even if I am right, that doesn’t make it good. So I love you guys. Keep peace. Seek reconciliation and I pray against the devil's hold of anyone who grieves or is a griever. I love you guys.
Hey Daily Audio Bible, this is Rebecca from Michigan. I just need prayer, like serious prayer, because it’s like all of a sudden it's like I’m on fire for a while and I feel like it just fizzled out. I’m going to church but it seems like people are getting mean at church, you know what I’m saying? Like 1 Corinthians 13 says that you’re supposed to love people and it talks about love. But if you’re like a cymbal crashing, you’re like a big noise. To me, it’s like if you’re in an orchestra or band and everybody is playing their own key off key, you’re just a racket. When you come together in harmony and play the same songs on the same notes, you sound beautiful and in melody. To me that’s what love is. Love is where you’re connecting and showing togetherness like in the community. I just, like right now, I just feel like I’m under some kind of spiritual attack and it feels like it is amongst church people. So, can you pray for me because I feel like I’m getting burnt out? Maybe I need God–time, like just go somewhere off, like Brian always talks about and just pray and just seek God’s will for my life or try some other churches out. I don’t know. But can you just pray for me today? I really could use it, spiritually lift me up, please. Thank you. I love you guys. You’re the best.
Hello, this is ‘Blessed Like Me’. I’m coming to you with some solemn news. There was a little boy walking around a mall. He was walking around a mall and the little boy, he had a lollipop in his mouth and tears running down the eyes. Everybody that had seen him said that they thought something might have been wrong, but nobody intervened, everybody just watched him. And actually there was a man that was following him and people had feelings like something wasn’t right and nobody tried to save him. All the onlookers and bystanders that seen the situation just said that they had no power, they had no right, they felt like they didn’t have any reason to try to approach the little boy. But the little boy later on was found in a grave and nobody knows what happened in between the time, but nobody did anything. The police say that everybody who saw the boy being taken are going to be charged with 1st degree murder. Folks this is not a true story, this is not a real story, this is just an illustration of how a lot of people are sitting around being bystanders watching people on their way to hell, on their way to damnation, just watching people going and nobody is doing anything, nobody is lifting a finger, nobody is giving them a word of encouragement. Now, true as it is, there are a whole lot of people that do intervene, who try to help people become saved, but it’s a lot of us that are bystanders. I’m guilty. I see people that are not saved, and I stand around and I look. That’s not the right thing to do. We must intervene. We must approach. We must try to do something.
Hi Daily Audio Bible community, this is Andrea from Kentucky. And I just want to pray over you today. I’ve heard so many requests and I just want to lift those up right now. Father, I just thank you that you are our Father and that you care deeply for each and every one of us. Thank you that you are holy and you are completely set apart unlike any other god. There’s no comparison, there is no other god like you. And we just thank you that you are our God. Thank you, Lord, that you are the most valuable treasure of all and I ask that for every need, for every sorrow, for every grief, for every pain, for every heartache, that they will pour that out as an offering to you, Lord, that you said that you were with the brokenhearted. And Lord as we pour out our brokenness before you, that we would treasure you above all. And Lord that we will always remember how beautiful, how amazing, how loving you are and that we would turn our eyes to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Lord, I ask for strength to give joy to those who need strength because you said the joy of the Lord is our strength. Lord I ask that you will give love where there is fear because you said love casts out all fear. Father, I just thank you that your promises are true, that no matter what circumstances we are in, your promises never change. Lord, I pray the strength over this community. I pray for healing over this community. But most of all, I pray an increase of the valuing of who you are and that our first love will be rekindled to such a level that it sets a fire in our hearts to light other fires in other people’s heart. Lord, I just ask that you would provide every need as you have promised that you would.
Good morning Dabbers, this is Walta, ‘the burning bush that will not be consumed for the glory of God.’ I am really happy this Thursday morning - Charlotte, NC, traffic, beautiful, green, green, green trees all over the place, reminds me of my beautiful country of Liberia, West Africa. Shout out to all my Liberian listeners. Lately, I cannot get Liberia out of my mind. And I think I heard somebody say something about purpose, I can’t remember who it was and I wrote a lot of things to call and a lot of prayer requests and a lot of first-time callers, shout out to all the first-time callers, especially our sister who has been listening for 10 years. Yep, I guess you were there before when we only had a podcast, but I remember back in the days. Good times. Love you all. But anyway, I’m calling with a couple of prayer requests. I have been having a lot of challenges with my schedule since my older son is now in a rehab program and my younger son, of course, has his needs. My husband is still not here and it’s been 384 days (who’s counting) since I last saw my husband. So please pray that immigration will issue him a visa so that he can come back to us. Also work wise, I love my job, praise God. It’s just I have a lot of work to do and I’m trying to not let my home events affect that. So please pray that God will give me focus and just enable me to do that. My husband got a job in Romania, praise God, he got a better job. So he also has a presentation tomorrow, so please pray for him. I love you all. My prayers are with all those who are struggling with their marriages. For those who are thinking of leaving their spouse, don’t do it, don’t do it.
Hey guys, this is Aliyah or as you can also call me __________, because I have been raised to new life with Jesus and I am exalted in him, even when I don’t feel like that. So, anyway, I’m calling for some prayer. My brother, his name is Alex, he’s going to retreat this weekend with his friend Skylar’s church. And I just prayed with them that the Spirit moves in there, that the Word of God touches some hearts, and especially my brother’s heart since he has been just kind of going with the motion, sort of. So I just pray that he makes some personal choice to choose the Lord. So anyway I love you all and I just continue to run on faith and driven by the love of Jesus. Amen and amen.
