Summary

Fr. Mike focuses on trust today, specifically trusting God in difficult times. Like David, we need to learn to trust God in the midst of the battle, rather than waiting until the batter is over. Today's readings are 2 Samuel 15, 1 Chronicles 19-20, and Psalm 3.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.4	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:11.1	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:14.0	Using the great adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation,
0:18.2	discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that
0:21.0	story today. It is day 133. We are reading four chapters today, Second Samuel, chapter 15,
0:26.4	two chapters in First Chronicles, that's chapters 19 and 20, and also praying Psalm 3. As always,
0:31.6	the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition.
0:35.5	I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own bible in a year reading plan you can visit ascensionpress

1:13.4	But we won't get the rest of the story.
1:14.7	We're just going to get the story of the battle.
1:16.4	And remember, that's because First Chronicles wants to highlight the fact that God is going to restore the kingdom and he's going to restore the temple.
1:24.0	He's going to restore the people of God and he's going to restore the people of God, and he's going to restore the worship of God. And so that's what First Chronicles is really, really focusing on. But we resume our
1:31.2	story with Absalom and what he's doing, rebelling against his father in 2nd Samuel, chapter 15,
1:37.3	and then going back and seeing how David was a great warrior king, even if he wasn't a great
1:42.1	father here in First Chronicles 19 and 20.
