Today is the 23rd day of September.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

Welcome back.

Welcome back around the global campfire.

I'm Brian.

It is wonderful to be here with you today.

With a grateful hearts, We gather and together. One foot in

front of the other and we put that foot out in front of us and lean into it. Like that's how

you take steps forward and that's what we'll do today. Another step forward on the grand

journey that is leading us through this year

and through the entire Bible together.

And we are currently working our way through the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament.

We just began this epic short letter, but epic implications type letter called

Ephesians yesterday, and so we'll continue that journey today. But first, Isaiah

chapter 41, verse 17, to 43 43 verse 13

When the poor and needy are dying of thirst and cannot find water

I the Lord God of Israel, will come to their rescue. I won't forget them.

I will make rivers flow on mountain peaks. I will send streams to fill the valleys.

Dry and barren land will flow with springs and become a lake.

I will fill the desert with all kinds of trees, cedars, acacias and myrtles, olive and cypress

trees, fir trees, and pines.

Everyone will see this and know that I, the Holy Lord God of Israel, created it all.
