Day 137: David Mourns Absalom (2026)

Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[outro music] Hi, my name's 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 thirty-seven. [laughs] Gosh, think about that, day one hundred and thirty-seven. You have been so faithful. [laughs] Oh, my gosh. Even if you haven't gotten every day perfect, maybe you have, um, but here you are. Nevertheless, you have made it all the way to day one hundred and thirty-seven. We are reading Second Samuel chapter nineteen, First Chronicles twenty-four, and we're praying Psalm thirty-eight. As always, the translation of the Bible that I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. I know some of you have been able to follow along, and, you know, you might listen as you're driving in your car, you might listen as you're out for a walk, uh, but some people just really love to sit down and have the words in front of them as well as the words in their ears. And so that's a... What, what an incredible opportunity and gift to be able to do that. Uh, if you wanna download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Anyways, [laughs] um, speaking of moving on, as I said, we are reading from Second Samuel chapter nineteen, First Chronicles twenty-four, and we are praying Psalm thirty-eight. Second Book of Samuel, chapter nineteen. David mourns
