Today is the 21st day of September.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I'm Brian. It is great to be here with you.

As we draw in and draw to a close another of the weeks that we get to spend,

as we move through a year together and as we move through the Bible together,

it's been a pretty profound week in the scriptures. A lot of crossroads, a lot of paths, a lot of outcomes to be considered.

And so I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful that the scriptures just wind us through everything about ourselves

And we can ignore it. We can just kind of breeze by it and check it off as a to-do list, and this is our devotion time, and this is, this is our God time.

But we can pay attention, because we're being being showed how to live and it's not obscure

and it's not something that we don't understand

we're making choices

and they amount up to something

they amount up to our lives

are they where we want them to be? Because the Bible, the Bible challenges everything.

So it's been a good week of that. Let's take that next step forward as we conclude the week.

We're in the book of Isaiah today chapters 37 and 38.

When King Hezaia heard their report, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went to the Lord's temple. He sent Alayakim who was in charge of the

court secretary and the leading priests who were covered with sackcloth to the prophet Isaiah son of a maus.

They said to him, this is what Hezekiah says.

Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace.

It is as if children have come to the point of birth

and there is no strength to deliver them.
