Today is the 24th day of September.

Welcome.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I am Brian.

It is great to be here with you today.

Today and every day.

It's great to be able to gather every single day.

Get together like this. Just kind of be in each other's lives like this, really centered in a very, very healthy place of centering ourselves, rooting and grounding ourselves and our lives, our emotions, our thoughts, our words, our deeds in the

scriptures and allowing them to be a part of the tapestry of what moves us forward and what gives

us wisdom, and one gives us conviction.

So I'm grateful, as always. I need it as desperately

as anyone glad that we can be together. So let's do what we do. Let's take another step forward

in our year and in the scriptures.

Currently, we're working through the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament and Ephesians in the new.

Isaiah chapter 43, verse 14 through 45 45 verse 10 today.

I, the Lord, will rescue you.

And this is my promise.

I, the Lord, will rescue you.

I am Israel's holy God, and this is my promise. For your sake, I will send an army against

Babylon to drag its people away, crying as they go. I am the Lord, your holy God, Israel's creator and king.

I am the one who cut a path through the mighty ocean.

I sent an army to chase you with chariots and horses.
