Today is the 29th day of January. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian and it is fantastic.

To be here with you today, and to be here together to greet a brand new Sparkly Week together

and step into it together, it's all out there friends.

Hello, week. We're going to live into it. And it's going to tell a story.

And whatever story it tells is where we are and what we're doing.

And so may we choose the paths of wisdom as we navigate this week and a wise move.

It's to be here around the global campfire taking the next step forward together

and just allowing the scriptures to speak for themselves and wash their way into our lives

and seep into our hearts. And so let's dive in. We'll read from the new English translation this week

picking up the story where we left off yesterday in the book of Exodus

where it seems as if quite a confrontation is brewing. Moses Sinaran are telling Pharaoh the Pharaoh of Egypt,

the supreme power of Egypt, the one who believes he's descended from deity to let his people go.

And Pharaoh's like, I don't know who this God is. I don't care who this God is.

I don't know this God and I'm not letting these people go.

And there's been some little skirmishes, some little dialogue back and forth and some signs and wonders

that have been replicated by the Egyptian magicians.

But things are moving to a whole new level.

And so let's figure out that story Exodus, chapters 8 and 9 today.

Then the Lord said to Moses, go to Pharaoh and tell him, this is what the Lord has said.

Release my people in order that they may serve me.

But if you refuse to release them, then I am going to plague all your territory with frogs.

The Nile will swarm with frogs and they will come up and go into your house, into your bedroom,
