Today is the 7th day of November.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I'm Brian, it is great to be here with you around the Global Campfire as we gather

and release all of the stresses of life and come into this little oasis for a few minutes.

This little safe space, little place where, yeah, we're just taking a break from the

stresses of life.

We're opening ourselves to allow God's Word to speak to us and not the Holy Spirit to

lead us.

We can go back out into the chaos.

It'll be there waiting for us, but this is our safe space.

A clean, safe place to hear from God.

Together, in community, but then go back out into the world and face whatever we're

facing, maybe with a completely changed perspective.

So great to be here with you around the Global Campfire today.

We are reading from the New English translation this week and picking up where we left

off yesterday leads us back out into the book of Ezekiel.

Today Ezekiel chapter 16 verse 42 through 17 verse 24.

I will exhaust my rage on you and then my fury will turn from you.

I will calm down and no longer be angry.

As you did not remember the days of your youth and have enraged me with all these deeds,

I hereby repay you for what you have done declares the sovereign Lord.

Have you not engaged in prostitution on top of all your other abominable practices?
