Day 118: King Saul Despairs (2026)

Father Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[outro jingle] Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. 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 eighteen. We have two days left, including today, for First Samuel before we jump into Second Samuel and First Chronicles. We are reading two chapters from First Samuel today. It is First Samuel, chapter twenty-seven and twenty-eight. We're also praying Psalm thirty-four. That's treinta y cuatro for those Spanish speakers who know how to speak Spanish numbers, but we'll be reading this in English. Speaking of, the translation of which you'll be reading is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. Speaking of Spanish Bibles, actually, this is not... No one told me to say this. I am literally looking on my bookshelf, and I can see the Spanish version of the Great Adventure Bible timeline. Uh, or, b- sorry, Great Adventure Bible. They have a, it in Spanish. So if you are someone who are more, you're more accustomed to reading Scripture in Spanish, they do have a Spanish Great Adventure Bible. It is also the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition, I believe, or maybe it's something... I don't know. That was just something I said. But I do have the Spanish version. They have it from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
