0:00.0	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.
0:11.7	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
0:21.4	and how we fit into that story today. This is day 45. Let's keep on trucking along. If you have
0:28.2	the Bible reading plan, the Bible in the year reading plan, you know that any of been checking
0:32.6	off these dates. You know, this is the last day on that first page, which is a significant accomplishment.
0:38.7	And that's one of the reasons why I recommend everyone going to ascensionpress.com
0:42.2	slash Bible in a year to download that reading plan and even print it off because it's so
0:46.6	great to be able to cross it off and say, I'm moving.
0:49.2	Like we're actually going somewhere.
0:50.9	So day 45, we're reading from Exodus chapter 29, still deep, deep in Exodus,
0:55.9	Leviticus chapter 21. And we're praying that last section on Psalm 119 will be praying Psalm 119
1:01.6	versus 121 through 176. There is so much in Psalm 119 that the Lord just reveals to us about our
1:09.6	own hearts, reveals to us about his heart.
1:12.7	But even more, gosh, Exodus 29 and Leviticus 21, there is a deep connection today with both of these readings.
1:21.2	One is because, well, the main reason is because they both talk about the priesthood.
1:25.8	And in Exodus talks about the ordination of priests.
1:28.3	And then in Leviticus, talks about the need for priests to be holy.
1:32.0	And so I'm just asking for you as we begin this time to pray for me.
1:35.7	And as well as pray for your pastor, pray for your associate priests, pray for all the priests in your life.
1:40.7	Because not only are they called to be set apart, but they're called to live in
1:44.5	that way that honors, honors the one who set them apart and honors the one that they worship and
1:50.8	honors the people that they're called to pray for. And so please today on this day, day 45,
