Numbers 26:52-28:15, Luke 3:1-22, Psalms 61:1-8, Proverbs 11:16-17

Today is the 18th day of March welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I'm Brian it's wonderful to be here with you today as we do what we do, which is take steps forward. Kind of hard…I don’t even know how we would take a step backward and read the Bible in reverse or something but we’re here to take steps forward. The only way is forward. So, let's dive in. We’re reading from the God's Word translation this week and we’re in the book of Numbers chapter 26 verse 52 through 28 verse 15 today.

Commentary:

Okay. In the book of Numbers today we have begun a transition and it’s gonna take us a while to get through this transition. But it's a major major transition, a transition of leadership, a passing of the torch as it were from Moses, who we've been traveling with so long…like a long time now - many many miles together with Moses, many trials and many of…of God's miraculous deeds and provision for His people. So, that transition is…is beginning. It will take us a minute to get there because we’ll conclude the book of Numbers less than a week from now but then we will enter the final book of the Torah, the book of Deuteronomy. And, so, we won't be leaving Moses. Deuteronomy really is the last speeches or discourses of Moses to the people, to the people that he's been leading before he dies. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We’ll talk about that when we get there. But there is a transition beginning here now, where God is instructing Moses that he will leave…leave the scene basically, leave the stage, die, join his ancestors and then we will continue to move on without Moses. Joshua is being commissioned to take the place of Moses in the future when Moses is gone. Ironically, Joshua or Yehoshua, or Yeshua in Hebrew might sound familiar because it's the same name as Jesus and this name means God's salvation. And, so, we see connecting threads and ironically they’re very…they're very connected in our reading today because when we turn to the book of Luke we are at the very inauguration or consecration of…of Jesus who is at the Jordan River being baptized by John and he comes up out of the water and the Spirit comes down on him and says, “you are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.” The irony is that Joshua is being commissioned to lead the people forward. Jesus is God's son, leading the people forward and we have shared names with shared meanings with redemptive threads with stories of redemption kind of tying a thread between the two today. And we’ll be able to watch both of those stories unfold before us in great detail as we continue our journey forward.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for all these connecting points that connect over centuries in the Scriptures of an ongoing redemptive thread that winds its way into our lives as well as we carry the story forward. And, so, come Holy Spirit into all that we've read today. Plant it into the soil of our lives. We continue to open ourselves to You fully inviting You to rearrange our lives, shape us, conform us to Your image we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

DAB family Kathleen Mount Zion IL I am calling today…I tried calling earlier on my way to work and for some reason I just kept redoing and redoing these recordings. So, I finally just stopped and said I will just wait till after work. But I just wanted to pray. I…I read something about Nigeria again and Nigeria’s always been dear to my heart. I have called in the past. It's been a couple of years at least calling for Nigeria and every once in a while, I call in about that. But I'm just asking you to pray with me right now because there was another recent kidnapping of Christian children right out of their school. They've done this before. The last time the girls came back many of them had children they had been forced into marriage with Islamic extremists. And, you know, I just…it's just awful. Anyway, just pray with me. Lord Jesus I pray for Nigeria. I pray for this country Lord. There are many many Christians in Nigeria. Lord you are the King of all, you are the one’s…with you we can walk on water we can move mountains and I pray that the people of Nigeria the Christians of Nigeria will bind together, they were bind together and they will force Boca Ram out of their country and they will first however retrieve what has been lost, their lost children, lost young Christians. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Hi this is Gloria calling from Florida. This call is for Tammy from the Adirondacks. She is in remission from ovarian cancer. I don't know what you're going through, but I want you to take comfort in a God who loves you. He has healed your cancer and He can also heal your heart and your mind in what you're going through right now. Jesus came to bind the broken hearted. Take heart that He has overcome. I pray that you would wear the full armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith and yield the sword of the Spirit of the word and pray. I pray that you reach out to those that are close with you, that you share your burdens with them so they can help you carry this burden. I’m so glad that you called so that we could pray for you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. We love you.

Hey DABbers, this is Keira from Denver I am so grateful to God for everything He’s done for me. And y’all I would like continued prayer for my son, Nish. Tonight…today was the second day this week that I had to call the police because…because I had concern for my own safety in regards to my son. The earlier one last Tuesday they took him to the hospital and they…he went to the psych unit but then he got released the next day. Tonight, they took him to the hospital again and this time they took him to this city detox place. And I know this place is not that great. It’s not a rehab and it’s not a lockup. He can leave anytime. But I pray that he stays till…until tomorrow and I pray…I pray and I would like for you…you guys to stand in prayer with me that he…everyone he comes in contact with…with is Spirit filled and Christ filled and can give him guidance. And I pray that maybe this is…this is the moment, this is the moment that Nish makes a decision to change and that he can actually go into a rehab and get the help he needs. And he’s had these issues of psychosis ever since 2012 but he’s continued using drugs this whole time. So, it’s just a compounding of problems. And please pray, please pray everybody with me. Thank you. I love you DAB…

Good morning friends and family this is Justified Smile I am a new listener from late last year and this is my first time calling. It is the morning of March 16th and I just heard C’s prayer request about her postpartum depression and her feelings of worthlessness. And also, just last night dear friend and sister of mine that I’ll call M texted me last night about suicidal thoughts asking for prayer. I’ve seen in the past year that a spirit of death haunts this world. So, I ask you all to join me in prayer. Jesus, teach us to pray. Lord You are King, comforter and shepherd. You are goodness and life. And in Your name, we repel death from the hearts and mind of C and M and all Your children who it attacks along with its every backup replacement and contingency. Let Your life and joy rule in the lives of Your children. Protect those who pray for retaliation and comfort, those who have been hounded and antagonized. Keep us good Shepherd. All this for Your glory oh God my sovereign King.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask for some prayer today. Been listening for a while and this is…Daily Audio Bible’s really been an encouragement to me. Last year I had a…a pulmonary embolism and it’s kind of been…otherwise been really healthy but it’s kind of since last year seem to have gone downhill. So, I had this embolism and then about…about a month ago I started getting these really bad migraines and…and some double vision. Went to the doctor and he told me to get an MRI. It came back with a…a…a…s brain tumor that’s 3.4 cm. It’s called an acoustic neuroma that kind of grows in my ear next to my brain but it’s pushing against my brainstem. And, you know it…it…it…it…it would be pretty dangerous. They’re gonna have to take it out in the next couple weeks. So, I am praying for obviously as a successful surgery but I’m also praying…there’s…there’s two risks. They…they have already told me I’ll probably lose my hearing in my right ear but also the…the risk that…that…that is possible is kind of almost permanent, is Bell’s palsy because it’s right there on the facial nerve as well. So, just praying for that, praying for my family. I can’t drive right now because…because my double vision and so my wife’s having to take me around everywhere and we have three small boys. So, I really…I pray…I pray for the prayers. I have lot’s of people praying for me but if, you know, more…more people going to the Lord on my behalf would be amazing. The only last thing I pray well…

Postpartum Belt - Everything you Need to Know

A pregnancy can change your body in ways you never anticipated. Some women think that the tummy will be gone as soon as the baby is out; but that is not how things work out. What you get instead are flabs on your belly that resist all your attempts to make them go away. And while your tummy is bothering you with these unsightly bulges, you will also be dealing with lack of sleep as you focus on giving your bundle of joy all the attention you can muster. In the midst of all this, dealing with the postpartum abdominal weight reduction can take a backseat, and if you are not careful, this physical appearance might become your new normal. Thankfully, this is where a postpartum belt comes in. What is a postpartum belt? A postpartum belt is simply a wrap that you can tie around your belly so as to give support to your abdominal muscles and organs during the postpartum period. How can a postpartum belt help? If your postpartum period leaves you looking out of shape, a postpartum belt will help you look in shape without actually being in shape. The belt can also make you feel comfortable as you move around after delivery, in addition to helping you enhance your posture. In fact, this belt will even go far beyond these cosmetic benefits and also give you the back support you need after the physical strain of pregnancy and childbirth. Additionally, the health benefits of this belt include the fact that it will help you reduce swelling and tighten the muscles in your midsection. The belt is also effective at pushing the organs back into position after their displacement during childbirth. So, a postpartum belt has a lot of important benefits to offer you after Who should not wear postpartum belt? Most women can wear a postpartum belt. Still, a postpartum belt is not for everyone. For instance, it is not recommended that you start wearing it as soon as you have had your baby. In fact, the benefits are not even thought to be as apparent during this period. So, you should start wearing it about a day after delivery in the case of a natural birth. In fact, after a natural delivery, you can start tying your stomach even after a few hours. However, most doctors will recommend that you wait at least a day before using the belt. If you have had a C-section, you should not use the belt until after the wound has healed, and that could mean waiting for at least six to eight weeks before using it. It is also not advisable to wear this belt if there are signs of infection in your C-section, or if you are dealing with complications such as anmionitis or preeclampsia. It is precisely because of reasons of this kind that you should talk to your doctor before starting to use this belt. How do I choose the postpartum belt? While choosing a postpartum belt, you should take into consideration a couple of factors. For instance, you have to consider how it will look under your clothes, or how much support or comfort it will offer you during use. Here are some issues to keep in mind as you shop for a postpartum belt. 1. How does it look under your clothes One of the main reasons women wear a postpartum belt is that it helps them reclaim the shape they had before pregnancy, until they can at least get back in shape naturally. Therefore, a belt that is well-concealed under the clothes is the huge priority for most shoppers. Some belts are a little thick, and ensuring that nobody notices them, especially for women who love tight clothing, can be something of a challenge. So, if you belong in this category, your best option is to use a less conspicuous postpartum belt. Be careful though, some belts might not be visible under your clothing, but they might not offer the best quality use experience. That means you have to consider other issues as well as you shop for a postpartum belt. 2. How hard is it to slide on? Some belts are easy to wear, and you will hardly notice the need for additional skill to put them on. But with other belts, putting them on can be a struggle. This can be a huge challenge since you might be dealing with the trauma of childbirth, or the physical limitations of having undergone surgery. Consequently, getting a belt that is easy to wear is a very important factor to consider. Even a highly effective belt might not do you much good if it turns out to be too challenging to wear properly. Therefore, consider how easy it is to wear the postpartum belt you are buying for an easier use experience. 3. Does it stay in place? Even after a snug comfortable fit, some belts can start to slid upwards over time due to active movements. Usually, this is a problem is common with elastic belts that are fasted using velcro straps. Obviously, a belt that will not stay in place over its usage period cannot be expected to give you all the benefits you seek from this postpartum aid. So, you should go for better quality belts to ensure that you end up with a belt that actually gives you the expected benefits. You might have to pay a little more for it, but at least, you will get true value for your money. 4. Does it compress enough? The good thing about postpartum belts is that they are highly adjustable. Therefore, you can wear it as tightly as you need it to be. However, some belts will simply not give you the amount of compression you need, in which case you have to consider alternative versions that can deliver on this goal. For instance, if you want the belt to give you the shape you had before your pregnancy so that you can fit into the clothes you wore before you got pregnant, you can go for a tighter fit. In other words, you have to get a belt that compresses more. But if you want to feel comfortable as you move around, then belt that offers a more relaxed fit can work for you. So, you need to get a belt that offers enough compression for your belt usage needs. Fortunately, with many high quality belts, you don’t have to choose between a high and a low compression belt, as these belts can be adjusted to suit either role. 5. Is the fabric breathable? Whenever shopping for a postpartum belt, always go for a version that is made using a breathable material. There are many reasons for this. The most obvious is that a breathable belt will be more comfortable. You might find that you need to use the belt all day long, in which case you need a breathable material that is more suited to this usage demand. Additionally, a breathable material will keep you from issues like excessive sweating, which might exacerbate any problems you might be dealing with as you try to rid yourself of your postpartum tummy. Besides, a non-breathable material can cause skin irritation and even allergic reactions since the belt has to be worn pretty fittingly to deliver on its intended benefits. So, make sure you get a belt that is made using a breathable material 6.Types of postpartum belts Postpartum belts come in all shapes and sizes; and there will always be a design that works best for you. Fortunately, today, there are many types of postpartum belts to suit various usage needs. Types of postpartum belts are: a) Wraps – These kinds of belts are made from cloth, and they are worn soon after postpartum. The belt is designed to be wrapped around the belly so that it fastens at the back. b) Corset type belts – These kinds of belts are designed like corsets, and they are known for their ability to offer incredible support to the midsection and their ability to aid in recovery. They usually snap at the back for a secure fit. One of their most notable features is that they usually exact a lot of pressure during wear. They generally should not be worn for too long due to the pressure they exact on the organs and the abdominal area. c) Zipper type belts – As the name suggests, these postpartum belt are fastened with a zip at the front or from the sides. d) Pull-up type belt -This belt is worn like underwear, but with a high waist. These belts are quite effective, although you might need to consult with a doctor to see if the belt would be appropriate for you. Conclusion The postpartum period is generally much easier to cope with when you use a postpartum belt. Looking good after childbirth leaves you with flabs on your belly is one of the reasons this belt should be a must-have. However, these belts can also help you feel more comfortable, and stabilize your back in addition to aiding in your postpartum recovery. But before you buy the first belt that comes your way and end up regretting your purchase, take note of some things you need to consider so as to get the best postpartum belt for your needs. So, go for it - a postpartum belt might be all you need to get back in shape and have a more comfortable postpartum recovery period. Read the full article

Your Fashion Questions, Answered

I took a poll on Instagram last week and requested that you send in all of your questions.

Because there was such a strong response, I decided to break them up into sections starting with the most popular category, Fashion & Style!

Do you still wear your Chanel sunnies you got last year? – Ashley P

No. They were an impulse purchase that I made while in Florence and I regretted it. I actually gave them to my brother to he can wear them for fun this summer.

Top 5 pieces for a summer wardrobe? – Cat

1 A great pair of denim shorts. 2. Oversized sunglasses. 3. A medium sized straw bag. 4. A classic black one-piece swimsuit. 5. Pair of white sandals.

How did you find your style? – Hibi C

That’s a tough question to answer because I feel like my personal style is constantly evolving. After high school when I moved to Chicago I was given the chance to play dress up more {living in a big city}. The seasons gave me a chance to play with layers and really explore different sides to my personality. After I moved to Los Angeles the style here is much more laid back. However I travel {or used to} quite often to New York and Paris for work so it lended me with opportunities to dress up. I think the more chances you have to dress up for different types of occasions the better you get at doing so.

What are your favorite styles of belt bags? Martha D

Do you mean crossbody bags? I don’t really wear belt bags but my favorite cross body bag is the A.P.C. half moon and all of Clare V’s crossbody bags.

Do you prioritize eco-responsible clothes (non-toxic, good salary, local) – Lauren C

I shop a LOT locally and strive to support my friends such as Heidi Merrick, Rachel Comey, Rachel Pally, Clare V., The Optimist, Janessa Leone, Sophie Monet, Sophie Buhai…to name a few. So to answer your question: yes!

Favorite everyday handbag? – The Luces

I absolutely love my Goyard PM tote and carry it almost every day. It’s a great bag to buy used because it’ll get banged up a little bit. For a less expensive option, I also love the Everyday Tote bag by Mansur Gavriel or the Cloud Bag by Baggu.

Can we see your fine jewelry collection? Favorite piece of jewelry? – Quyen P

I don’t love showing it all together. It feels a little braggadocious. My collection includes Cartier Juste un Clou and Love Bracelets, an Hermés watch, Retrouvai jewelry and Tiffany & Co. pieces to name a few.

How do you keep your tees so white? – @bexhunt1

I’m not sure but I do wash ALL of my whites together using Laundress. I love, love the smell of Laundress.

Do you take your love bracelet off? Is it hard? – Maddie B

Very rarely. I recently took my bigger one off as we entered quarantine because I wanted to wear minimal accessories while at home. It isn’t hard to take off at all.

Can we see your engagement ring? – Anne R

Sure! If you google it I think more images will come up. It’s a modified radiant cut, 3.25 carats.

Do you like your small Cartier Love better than original? Reason you’re wearing one less? – Keesha G

I’m only wearing it less because I’m home and it felt weird to be wearing two bracelets all the time. I’ll put it back one once I go back out into the wild

But to answer your question, lately I’ve been liking my smaller one because I’ve been feeling rather minimal lately.

How often do you do closet clean outs? – Sarah

Once a month.

New favorite clothing finds? – Lauren B

I’ve been loving finding secret pieces on Amazon. I’m doing a year-long partnership with them soon so I’ve been geeking out to finding super affordable pieces. It’s like a fun game for me!

How do you style outfits for spring? – Stephanie V

I’m all about layers and never leave the house without a light jacket. Lately I’ve been loving lots of neutrals and don’t worry about them being too matchy. I also lean in to accessories more during the spring, such as hats, jewelry and scarves.

Favorite affordable online shops? – Desi G

Obsessed with Everlane lately!

Any ideas for re-entry looks? – Janelle I

For me I’m going to wear less make-up and stick to minimal styles and neutral colors.

How to elevate basics for work? – Lisa L

I think that any outfit can be easily elevated with a great slingback heel. You can also pull your hair back in a low bun and add a headband to elevate the look.

Tricks for save/splurge style? – Lisa L

Splurge on bags and accessories such as a classic black headband and good jewelry. Splurge on classic pieces like the Hermès Oran Sandals or a Chanel quilted handbag. Save on jeans, tops and sunglasses.

Trend you can’t get behind? – Christine

Just one? (ha!). I can’t get behind the puffy Bottega Veneta sandals or the netted cage sandals. I can’t get behind biker shorts and crop tops.

How has your style changed to accommodate mom life? – Penny

My pajamas are less cute because I get messy during dinner time and soaked during bath time. Really just my “stay at home” style is different. I still love getting dressed when I can go out.

How long did it take for your Amazon straw bag to arrive? (backorder situation) Christine E

Damn! Mine took about a week.

Have you always had an eye for fashion and design or is a skill you have honed? – Joni

I’m not 100% sure but I do know that I’ve always enjoyed playing dress up and my mom and I used to take a lot of shopping trips growing up.

Summer tank/shirt dresses to wear with sneakers/sandals? – Narz T

Love this dress by Lacausa. It’s been in my closet for a very long time and I always bring it out during summer.

Robe suggestions? – Nina M

100% Lunya “The Robe”

Affordable fashion picks for transitioning back into seeing people? – Sabrina M

I’d check out my clothing favorites from my Amazon shop because I’m constantly adding affordable pieces that I love.

Classic, everyday pieces for work? – Grace M

Black trousers, a slingback heel and a crisp white button up shirt.

How do you know when something is out of style? – Marija P

If you are dressing in classic pieces that feel timeless then you will never be out of style.

Hat box suggestion? – Melissa D

I’m on the hunt! Steamline makes some great hat box luggage pieces.

What are the items I should invest in at goal weight? – Niamh C

Congrats! I would invest in a pretty black silk dress.

Next big wishlist purchase? – Noelline B

A piece of Retrouvai jewelry from her Lollipop collection.

Hermes Oran Flats, Gianvitto Rossi Portofino 70’s, Soludos Beach Slides, Mansur Gavriel Slingbacks in White and Black, Jenni Kayne House Slippers, Chanel Ballerina Flats, Tkees, New Balance Sneakers, Tory Burch Bubble Sneaker and a pair of Hunter Boots.

10 best bags? – Noelline B

Chanel Quilted Black Classic, Bottega Veneta Quilted Pouch, anything Mansur Gavriel, Goyard PM in black, Dior Saddle Bag, Cult Gaia, Staud, Tory Burch, Clare V. and Loewe.

I feel like I reached a certain age and lost my style – any tips for re-finding it? – Wendy W

Oh no! Have you tried hanging out with people who are younger than you are? Try listening to different music, watch a new show or read an inspiring book. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone a little bit and maybe buy something you normally wouldn’t buy.

Where are your sunglasses/eyeglasses from? – Melissa W

My eye glasses are very, very old and from LA Eyeworks. My sunglasses are Amazon.

Jewelry organization tips? – Erin T

I would check this video out. I use inserts in my drawers to keep everything organized.

Favorite white tee? – Jennifer J

Currently it’s this one by James Perse.

Best workout clothes for postpartum mom? – Stephanie

I love Beyond Yoga pants because they have stretch. I’d wear an oversized tee with them.

Do you have a bag you love that seems to go with every outfit? – Devon

Yes! Any of the Dior prints like this one OR the Tory Burch Lee bags.

How do you decide what to get rid of? – Kristin

If I haven’t worn something in over a month it gets moved to the further left side of the rack. I then make myself wear it within a month or I get rid of it (unless it’s something sentimental or occasional like a black silk dress).

What’s the story about your Chanel ring that Grant got you? – Julie

Ha! I’ll share it in my book (coming soon!).

Easy wardrobe style tips? – Tracy M

Keep things sweet and simple. I would “favorite” or take screen grabs of favorite outfits you come across online. I save all of my outfit inspiration images into a folder on my phone so that when I go to get dressed I try to put together an outfit that’s similar.

Favorite high and low designers right now? – Nadia D

High – Asceno // Low – Amazon

Best investment white sandal? – Tiffany
