Today is the 19th day of July.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian.

It is wonderful to be here with you today, today and every day.

Today is a closing of another one of the weeks that we get to spend, one of the 52.

And we keep doing that and we get into the habit of it.

And we're starting to actually engage and pay attention to what we're doing

and how it is that we get where we get.

And so I hope your week has been fruitful, prosperous, and meaningful,

and that you navigated the challenges because they are always with us.

And I'm doing my own reflection too.

because this is how we grow.

the stewards of all the property and cattle of the king, and his sons,
