Day 182 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

Well, I am officially in vacay mode. I am catching a flight here in a couple of hours. By the time you

guys watch this, I'll be on a beach somewhere in Hawaii. Not as glamorous as it sounds as probably me yelling at my kids to come in for lunch or something. So a big thank you to Holly for these past couple of days. I will be back this week. I will be filming while I'm in Hawaii, but Holly gave me a little bit of a break to be able to enjoy the family reunion that I was able to have with my husband's family. And so thank you for that. Thank you for your grace, your kindness, your love, and just being such a family here. I know sometimes we get in our little grooves and we like things a certain way, but for the most part, I'm seeing now how everybody is kind of understanding the heart of heart dive and where we're going with this. And so that's really cool. Thank you for that. We are in the Book of Obadiah today, starting a brand new book. We will be visiting a couple of Psalms as well, reading from the ESV by Crossway Translation. But before we jump into it, business as always, if you could please hit that thumbs up button. That is your roll call button, your way of partnering with us and saying we are a part of this ministry. We love God's word and we want to be able to help to spread it throughout the world

and get other people involved. If you're new here to this Bible study, you just found this video,

make sure to check out the show notes or the description box, lots of information there.

We also have additional resources and lots of info about this ministry and about our Bible study on our website.

That website is heartdive.org.

You could sign up for our free newsletter there where you will be able to download our Heartdive 365 reading plan,

which, by the way, I decided before I went on vacation that I wanted to bring this with me,

but it's too big, and I did a little reel on this.

But what I did is I cut the reading plan in half, and I actually glued the pages, not glued.

I double-sided taped them into the front pages of my Bible, and I didn't worry about them being too perfect.

Added some stickers. I'll probably decorate it a little more later, but it was a little fun project this morning for me because I needed to take this with me, but didn't want to carry around my laminated sheet here. So if you wanted to be able to have the reading plan with your Bible, that's a really good way to do that. So again, you can download that by signing up for our free newsletter, newsletter and the newsletter, you get the daily emails of each of the lessons and all of the notes and everything that's attached to it. Holly sometimes adds some freebies, but for the most part, everything that you need is also right here in this channel. So you don't have to sign up for the newsletter if you don't want to. All right, we're going to go ahead and pray and jump into it. Heavenly Father, we love you. Thank you so much, Lord, for another day to live, move, and breathe. We give you all of the glory, the honor, and praise because you're worthy of it. You are so deserving of it. And so we thank you, Lord, for this time that we get to spend together as a family in every corner of the world. Thank you so much, Lord, that we can go on vacation and you are still the same

God there, too. We thank much, Lord, that we can go on

vacation and you are still the same God there too. We thank you, Lord, that you are the same God even in

homes, even when we are in distress, when we're going through battles, when we're in prosperity and

peace. You don't change, and we're so grateful for that because we need you to be steady, Lord,

because the world around us is in chaos and we are often unsteady. So thank you, Lord, for guiding our steps and doing so through your word. And so we pray that you'll do that today as we open up our eyes, our ears, and our hearts to be able to receive it in the way that you intend to speak to us. And so thank you, Holy Spirit, that you are here with us. We know that we're two or more gathered. There you are in the midst. And so we welcome you into this space wherever every person is, whether they're in their car listening, they're driving a truck somewhere, they're in their room, their prayer closet, they're doing chores, whatever it is. God, you promise to meet us wherever we're at whenever we seek you.

And so that is what we're doing today.

Thank you so much for this family. Every person here, Lord, will you just bless them today? Bless them abundantly, meet their needs. Let them know that you are with them, God, and hear their prayers. The prayers that they have cried out to you in the dark of the night,

the desperate pleas that are coming from their hearts,

and even the prayers that are unspoken,
