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 will 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 111 and 111.

We are reading from 1 Samuel chapters 18 and 19,

or also praying Psalm 59.

One thing, I may be I say this too often,

if you have reached today 111, which is kind of a cool number,

if you've reached this far with us, this is incredible.

I think a lot of people that we have reached out to me have in the past said,

yeah, you know, I've always wanted to read the Bible and I have not ever been successful at this.

I haven't been consistent at it.

But if you have made it to today,

it means that you have consistently for 111 days,

you have opened yourself to God's word and you've let him speak to your mind

and shape the way you see the world and shape your heart.

And so what a gift.

I mean, just praise God for that.
