2 Chronicles 21:1-23:21 ~ Romans 11:13-36 ~ Psalm 22:1-18 ~ Proverbs 20:7
God loyal people living honest lives
make it much easier for their children. Prov. 20:7
Yeah, that is a powerful proverb as well. This speaks to something that we’ve been talking about throughout this month so far, the idea of our heritage, the idea that we are the caretakers of the Kingdom at this point in history, and that we will pass it on. Remember when we talked about David and his preparation for Solomon to be able to build the Temple. David left the Kingdom in fantastic condition to pass it on to Solomon. He had amassed a great amount of resources not only for the Kingdom, but for the building of the Temple and that was our example of how we too do the same thing. We pass on
the baton of history into the hands of the present, and the emerging generation takes over and leads and passes it on. This happens in our individual families. This happens in our communities. And this happens in the Kingdom of God on earth. God loyal people living honest lives make it much easier for their children.
Prayer: Father, this is our heart’s cry. We have lived years of self-absorption, inwardly looking, trying to make things better for ourselves, trying to work on ourselves by blaming others for our failure. We’ve psychoanalyzed and processed and dug deep and the healing that we seek can only come from you. You are the only one who can heal a broken heart. Because of this self-absorption, we have often forgot that more is at stake than our wellbeing. The future is at stake. You have bestowed upon us the
authority of heaven and told us, commissioned us to go into all the world and preach the gospel. We have not done this. Forgive us. We have not served you in thought, word, and deed. So we ask, Lord, have mercy. We ask for your strength, Holy Spirit, and your guidance as we allow you access to the inner parts of our lives so that you can heal us and so that we can rise up and be the people we were created to be and march forward, amassing the resources necessary to pass off to the coming generation, both our children and our children’s children and the emerging generation the Kingdom. It says in proverbs, God loyal people living honest lives make it much easier for their children. This is what we want to be. God loyal people living honest lives. Lead us in that path, Jesus. We ask in your name. Amen.

Prayer Requests:
Hello. My name is Linda from Minnesota and the Lord has put a burden on my heart to call for all the wives out there that are praying for their husbands to be the spiritual leader in their homes or to just come to know the Lord. Specifically, I just listened to the July 7 podcast and I don’t remember his first name, but his last name was Davis and I just want to give you some encouragement and some hope from a testimony of mine. I prayed for many years for my husband. There is a wonderful book out there called A Wife’s Prayer by Pamela Hines. It is all scriptural prayer. It is a daily prayer out of the book of Psalms. It was very difficult the first time I read the book and prayed the prayers because you are praying prophetically. You are praying what God has already planned for your husband even though he may not be that person yet. It was difficult for me at first because I felt like I was lying to the Lord, but I followed through and I was obedient and I actually, once I learned that God wants to pray his promises as they are in heaven, not as they are on earth, it was much easier to go through it the second time. I can tell you my husband knows the Lord now. He has a relationship with him and he is not the same person.
I know that is by no power of my own but only by the power of the Holy Spirit and just taking God for his word. He wants our husbands to be his and he wants them to be the spiritual leaders in our homes. Just keep praying. Pray for your husband as it is in heaven, as God wants it. I would recommend…you can just go through the Psalms yourself and just claim those promises or if you would like something that is a little more guided, A Wife’s Prayer by Pamela Hines. I’m pretty sure that is her last name, but lifting up all the husbands out there. I believe God is rising them up and he is doing a mighty work. So God bless you
all.
Hello Daily Audio Bible family. My name is Helene and I’m calling today because I’ve been having a lot of issues myself. Earlier this year, on my birthday actually, I was hit by a car. God blessed…you know, today I’m still alive, but mentally and emotionally it has affected me a lot and I’m feeling like it has kind of messed me up, my relationships in my life with my family and my boyfriend and I just feel like I need more support. My family and my brother did so much for me and comfort me __________. I don’t know what else to say. It has
been…__________ has been on my mind. I’ve been feeling like the accident has ruined my plans for the year. I’m trying to come to terms that it is all part of God’s plan. I’m thankful every day that I’m alive, but sometimes it is really hard to break through. I try to push through and try to understand how things are now after the accident. I didn’t have any physical injuries aside from a slight scar on the back of my head and, you know, really I understand that I was very fortunate with what had happened. So I guess that is all I have to say for now. I need somebody who can find the time to
_______________.
