Day 188: The Book of the Law (2026)

Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[gentle music] 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 eighty-eight. We're reading Second Kings chapter twenty-two, Second Chronicles chapter thirty-three, and we are reading now not from Psalms, but from the Book of Proverbs, one of the wisdom books, Proverbs chapter seven, the entire chapter of chapter seven. The Bible translation that I am reading from is the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic edition, and I am using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a Year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
