Day 67 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

Did you guys see this behind me yesterday? My daughter came home with this from her art class,

and I asked her, what made you draw that? And she's like, I don't know, I know that you like hearts. And so I was like, that is so cute. And she got a very good note from her art teacher. I just thought that was very sweet. Can you all believe we are on day 67? And I didn't even realize it the other day that 65 days had gone by, which means we have hit the countdown from 300. And I know it still seems like a bit of a daunting task to be able to read 300 days in a row. But trust me, we did it last year. We are 400 something days going strong. If you're one of those people, if you've been here since day one, say, that's me. I'm still here. We're doing it again and we're not going to stop. Even if we shift and start studying in a different manner in years to come, we're still going to be in the word every single day. And I love that. And I love that we get to do this together.

But otherwise, let's go ahead and pray, prepare our hearts, because I've got a dentist appointment. So we got to go. Heavenly Father, we thank you so much. Lord, whatever we have a big to-do list, lots of tasks at hand, we still come to you to be able to quiet our spirits and still our hearts. Lord, that might be beating a little bit fast today because of

anxiety or worries, but we just thank you, Lord, as we take in a deep breath of your peace

and exhale any anxiousness that might be there. Thank you, Lord, for being our God, for being

our father, for being our friend, our healer, our comforter, our refuge whenever we are needing a hiding place. Thank you for

being our strong tower where we are lifted up in high places away from the enemy. And thank you,

Lord, for your presence that guides us every single day. We just pray that as we open your word,

that it will begin to illuminate the path that is before us. We want to move forward and move toward

you. And we know that in reading the word, that is exactly what is going to happen. And we will begin to be taken deeper and be more immersed. And so we're ready for it, Lord. We know you're going to be doing something cool today. And so I just pray that you prepare our hearts for that. Open our eyes to be able to see you, to hear your voice. And I just pray that we all get a little bit more excited

today to continue on this journey, this faith journey that you have called us to. We love you,

Lord. Forgive us of our sins. Help us to forgive others. In Jesus' name, amen. Well, as I sort of

mentioned in that prayer, I do believe that God is calling us to go a little bit deeper, 67 days in,

you guys. And sometimes whenever we get called to that

to greater depths, it can get a little bit uncomfortable or maybe even a little scary, but it isn't

anything to be feared because we know he's with us. So let's buckle up and jump into the word,

chapter 31. And by the way, we are reading from the ESV by Crossway Translation.

Verse one, the Lord spoke to Moses saying, avenge the people of Israel on the Midianites. Why the
