| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Our Daily Bread. I'm Sheridan Voizzi, and I've called today's reading Acts of Grace. |
| 0:12.1 | In the novel about grace, David Winkler longs to find his estranged daughter, and Herman Sheila is the only person who can help him. |
| 0:22.6 | But there's a hitch. David's daughter was born from David's affair with Herman's wife, and Herman had warned him |
| 0:27.6 | never to contact them again. |
| 0:30.6 | Decades pass before David writes to Herman, apologising for what he's done. |

| 0:39.4 | he adds, begging for information about her. He waits to see if Herman will help him. |
| 0:46.0 | How should we treat those who've wronged us? In 2nd Kings chapter 6, the King of Israel faced |

| 1:26.6 | He helps David find his daughter, and David later saves his life. |
| 1:31.8 | In God's hands, our acts of grace toward those who've wronged us often result in a blessing to us. |
| 1:42.5 | Today's scripture reading is from 2nd Kings chapter 6, verses 18 to 23. |
| 1:49.1 | As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, |
