Summary

Congratulations—you've made it about halfway through the Bible in a Year journey! Today, we read again about King Ahaz's unfaithfulness in 2 Kings. We are also introduced to the prophet Micah, who is all about judgment and hope, and we read one of Fr. Mike's favorite psalms. Today's readings are 2 Kings 16, Micah 1-4, and Psalm 139.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.2	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:10.6	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the great adventure Bible timeline,
0:14.9	we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds
0:19.2	and how we fit into that story today. It is day 1002. We are reading from 2nd Kings chapter 16 from Micah chapters 1,2, 3,
0:26.9	and 4. And we're also praying Psalm 139, one of my favorite Psalms in the Bible. I have a lot of
0:33.1	favorites, I guess. But we also are introduced to the prophet Micah, which is pretty phenomenal.
0:37.1	Micah is a
0:37.8	contemporary of Isaiah in the Old Testament. And he is prophesying not just to the people of Israel.
0:45.6	He's prophesying to the people of Judah as well. He's prophesying to all of God's people
0:48.9	and calling them back to repentance, telling them what's going to happen. If they don't repent
0:53.1	and don't back to the Lord, sounds like a prophet. He is. So we're reading from Micah 1 through 4 today and then tomorrow
0:58.7	from Micah 5 through 7. As always, the Bible translation that I am reading from is the revised
1:03.3	standard version, the second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension.
1:06.7	If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year.
1:11.5	And if you want to, you can subscribe to this podcast by clicking on subscribe.
1:14.9	As I said, it's a 182.
1:16.8	And I think that that means when you're halfway through, when you're halfway through
1:20.3	this, today's readings, you will be halfway through the entire Bible.
1:24.9	Is that accurate when it comes to math?
1:26.3	365 divided by two is what
1:29.2	182.5? That sounds right. Is that good math? Maybe. Maybe it is good math. If it is good math,
