The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story. Today, it is day one hundred and sixteen, and today we are reading one chapter from Samuel again, uh, First Samuel, chapter twenty-five, the death of Samuel and the rise... Well, the next step in David's life. We're also praying from the Book of Psalms, and we're praying Psalm fifty... Sorry, sixty-three. My goodness. Um, if you wanna download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can get that at, uh, ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear, and you wouldn't even need me to say this. Yeah, I would, I would know right away, you would know right away that what we're praying is Psalm sixty-three, sixty-three today. Goodness gracious.
