Jeremiah 44:24-47:7, 2 Timothy 2:22-3:17, Psalms 94:1-23, Proverbs 26:6-8

Today is the 24th day of October. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian and it is, of course, always great to be here with you. And who wouldn't want to spend more time with you? And what if that is what God feels about us and that is what we learn from his Word? So, let's dive in for today and take the next step forward. We’re reading from the Christian Standard Bible this week. And we’ve got a quick announcement at the end. So, stay tuned for that, but let's dive in. Jeremiah chapter 44 verse 24 through 47 verse 7 today.

Commentary:

Okay. So, as we move through second Timothy Paul gave us the primary reason we are taking this journey through the Bible in the first place. But before that he contrasted two different ways of living, one that is false and will destroy and one that’s true and that will endure. So, Paul told Timothy hard times will come in the last days and there's a bunch of characteristics that go around that. People will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, demeaning, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traders, reckless, conceded, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, and holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. And Timothy was told to avoid those people for his own sake and to protect the community that he was a pastor of from those kinds of people. And it doesn't take much effort to see why. I mean, that little collection, that little list of behaviors that we just read, adds up to…I mean…that adds up to a very unhealthy and destructive situation, right, in any kind of a relationship, especially in a community. And Paul describes where that road leads, like what that will look like in relationship and in community. Paul says for them, they are the ones who worm their way into households and deceive gullible women overwhelmed by sins and led astray by a variety of passions, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. So, I mean, we kind of get the picture. But the fact that we get the picture just tells us that the challenges that were in Paul's time a couple of thousand years ago as Paul is warning Timothy about them, these are still with us today. But in contrast to all of that, Paul instructed Timothy to remember that there's another path, a different path had been modeled for him. I mean, Timothy had heard Paul's teaching throughout his entire ministry and he had also witnessed Paul's life, like behind closed doors. He had seen Paul suffer persecution personally and he'd seen Paul's faith and his patience and love and endurance. So, Paul instructed Timothy, as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who’ve taught you. And you know that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through Christ Jesus. So, I mean, the difference between the two paths that Paul outlined today and the characteristics that accompany those paths, they are so divergent that they are not alike in any way. And if unchecked, that first set of behaviors could be…would become a black hole that would suck the life out of any person or community. But the contrasting second path is solid, life-giving and enduring even in the face of trying times, which they were facing. And then Paul told Timothy the value of the Scriptures and how they would serve him well. And like Timothy, we’re reminded why we continue to show up every day and allow the treasurer of God's Word to wash into our lives and carry us forward day by day. Paul said, all Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Prayer:

Father, that is why we show up here every day, for exactly that. And, so, we invite your Holy Spirit to come and inspire us and teach us and rebuke us and correct us and train us in righteousness, so that we too may become complete and whole and equipped for every good work. Holy Spirit, plant the word of God in our hearts and may it yield the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, we pray. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Announcements:

dailyaudiobible.com is the website, its home base, its where you find out what's going on around here.

And I mentioned…short announcement…I’ll all only may be making this announcement today because they'll be gone. So, every year, once or twice a year we get a shipment of clean canteens. And if you’re aware of them or if you’ve been around for a while then you know that. If you’re like, what’s that? It's the best thing you can possibly drink your coffee or tea out of in the world as far as we're concerned. And since we’re kind of a little bit of coffee snobs around here and since we roast our own brand of coffee, I mean, having the best thing you can just drink it out of it is a good thing. And I searched…I searched for a couple of years to try to land on this and accidentally found the Clean Canteens. And as the story goes and I’ve shared it many times, I didn't know if we could brand them. I mean, I just knew what they were, but I reached out and they agreed and they let us cobrand with them. So, they're expensive for us to get and they’re too expensive for us to just keep in stock. So, we get them once or twice a year and brand them with the Daily Audio Bible on them and their beautiful. And, I mean, I'm literally using one right now. Every day of my life I've got my Clean Canteen with my Windfarm coffee and I'm looking at it, like I’m talking on the mic but it's like right here to my left. I keep it there. It’s there every day within arm’s reach. So, last year we were able to do a special edition one. They had always been brushed stainless steel but we got to do special one and it was red. And, so, we reached out to them to see if we could do that again because they’re lovely, but the red that we had last year's something they've discontinued. So, they gave me an alternative and then they told that they can't really do these colors, but we’ll do this. And, so, we have Daily Audio Bible Clean Canteens back in stock. They’re a nice bright red and you get yours. You can even grab a couple for Christmas while they last. They probably won't last much beyond today if they do last beyond today. So, heads up. If you’ve been waiting for this, don't wait too long. And if you’re just hearing about this but you’re like, yeah, yeah I want it…that's what I've been looking for. They’re in stock in the Daily Audio Bible Shop in the Lifestyle section. So, check that out and get them while you can.

And I wish you all in the lands down under a happy, happy springtime, right? It’s just…like here in the rolling hills we’re getting the fall now and up north it's, you know, it's getting colder and colder. So, that lets me know that it's getting warmer and warmer down there. So, as we have a lovely winter I pray you have a lovely summer.

And that's it for today. I'm Brian I love you and I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hi this is Victoria Soldier just calling to pray for some of the DABbers. I wanted to say hi to Joe the Protector and I’m happy to hear of you having a grandchild. I’m just…I know that you’re feeling really down right now about your daughter. Your kind of...maybe not down…but you’re just confused…but remember that the child is not a mistake but the mistake that is made has nothing to do with you as a father. It’s just that mistakes happen. And I’m just praying with you that you don’t take it to heart and that you be loving to your daughter and your granddaughter and let God help you find the direction in what to do. You have…I want to pray for Prophetic Intercessor and I want to pray for Gee and I want to pray for the one in Louisiana and encouraging people’s kids who are feeling like they want to run away from home or different things that are going on with our kids. And just pray that God will keep them and direct their minds to do what He would have them…because He has a plan for their life - it’s for a future and a hope. Gracious Father, I just praise Your name today. Lord I just ask You to touch Joe the Protector oh Lord and his lovely daughter. And he’s just not knowing what to do, he’s shocked, in confusion and everything that goes with it but Lord You bring peace, You bring joy, You bring love out of that situation. Oh Lord You give him the direction, him and her, and let it be with Your grace and Your mercy Lord. Oh Lord in the name of Jesus You come, and You touch that household, You even touch the mother and the whole family Lord because their lives are gonna change and it could change all for the better because God is in it. Lord we just ask You to touch our children who are feeling rushed to leave away or things that are confusing them. Lord we just ask You to direct them Lord just as You directed us when we were confused. Lord You have Your way…

Hi family it’s James here from the UK. I’ve got a prayer request. Our next-door neighbor just over the road from us, she’s an elderly lady, her name is Pat and she’s a bit of a recluse. We see her now and again and when we get the chance to talk we often talk about faith and hope and God. And I tried to explain to her that Jesus really loves her so much. And we wanted to come to church with us and she often tells us that she just feels that her life has been sort of disastrous and she is unworthy of being in God’s presence. And, we’ve been exchanging notes with her and really encouraging her to understand that she is loved. And we found a coloring book. She loves to color. And yesterday I put the coloring book through her door with a note that…it was a coloring book on the Proverbs. And we got a note straight back a couple minutes later to say that she…she lost her son. She found him dead in his apartment and he suffered from alcoholism. And I think she’s really struggling. And, so, we’re reaching out to her, but family, could you please, please pray for Pat that the Holy Spirit would just break the lie over life and that she would understand that she is loved, she is truly loved by Jesus and that He would help __ grief? And that He’d help me family, to do the right thing, say the right thing, give her the support that she needs right now. Thank you. Amen.

Good morning Daily Audio Bible, this is To Be a Blessing from California wanting to just praise God for this opportunity to pray for those who leave a message on the prayer line. I’m thinking about Terry the Trucker today, praying for him. Also praying for Prophetic Intercessor, thank you so much for the prayers you gave for depression and for those looking to…or struggling with thoughts of suicide…not looking to it but have been struggling with it. Praying for Sherry from Canada, Diane Olive Brown, the transition that Slave of Jesus is experiencing as he comes back into the states and into his family life. Also asking for prayer for a couple of things. Several people that I know have been in motorcycle accidents. The most recent one is a friend’s husband had a car roll over him, has crushed pelvis, and is in desperate need of prayer for this process and for the surgery. Also ask that you would pray for people with cancer. I have a friend who has been __ to go through stem cell replacement, a very huge issue. Three weeks of quarantine and a small family and his wife going through a lot with this. Also, for friend who has 11 people in her life experiencing cancer. God bless you today. Thank you for your prayers and support. So happy to be able to do that as well. Father, thank you so much for being with each person on this prayer line. Thank you for blessing Brian, Jill, and their family in Christ’s name. Amen. God, bless.

Hey Daily Audio Bible family, it’s Monica in Kentucky and I’m calling in two prayer requests today. Yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning, our oldest staff member who is actually in her 80s fell and broke her hip and was in a lot of pain and the doctor reported that after her surgery she will be released to rehab instead of home and that it will be a long painful rehab. So, her name is Marylin and I would just ask that you would lift her and her husband Jack up. And then also, one of our staff members at the pregnancy center found out that her very close friend who married her and her husband, a friend from college, was on the table for a heart valve replacement and coded and his organs started to shut down. So, she asked for a prayer for a miracle. And I know that we often say on the prayer line that God is beyond time and space. So, when you hear this prayer when you just lift up my team member Melanie and her friend. I don’t know his name. I just know she’s very heartbroken at losing him and I believe he would’ve only been in his 40s. So, maybe barely in his 40s. So, just thank you for those prayers and Lord I just lift up these two to Your throne for healing. Lord, we don’t understand why things happen. I know Marylin is a faithful, faithful servant who never hesitates to share Your gospel given the opportunity, depending on Your Holy Spirit to guide her words and actions and deeds at the pregnancy center God. And we just thank You for the example of her life. And we just ask that You would relieve her pain and bring complete healing and support through her family that she will need in the coming weeks. And for Melanie’s friend, that You would heal him as well. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

Hello Daily Audio Bible family, this is Treasured Possession. I am so grateful to have come back to this family of believers. I am a woman on the spectrum. My husband is on the spectrum and we have been married for 32 years. And some of you know my story, some of you don’t, but today I’m asking for prayer. We live in a house and built in 1910. We just remodeled it and remodeled it and we’re finally getting to the kitchen and today we’re sanding down the floor. And because we are on the spectrum everything’s hard to follow through, everything’s hard to choose, and it’s only, only because of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit within us that we are married and that we have done everything we’ve done. So, please be with me and praise God with me and pray for anyone who is setting out to do something that God’s called them to do and needs courage. [singing] glory hallelujah, glory hallelujah, glory hallelujah praise God for all he’s done for me. He stopped me and he brought me. He loved me and he loved me. Thank You Lord for all You’ve do for me today [singing stops]. Lord God, thank You that I can thank You ahead of time for all You’re going to do because You’re a God that is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. And You told me that You hear my voice and You love me. So, thank You God for being with me today. Amen.
