| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we |
| 0:08.3 | encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is |
| 0:12.9 | brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from |
| 0:16.9 | Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into |
| 0:21.7 | that story today. Today is day 97. We're almost, we're so close to day 100. You guys, this is |
| 0:26.9 | phenomenal. If you are, if this is your day 97, well done. Congratulations. We're getting |
| 0:31.8 | closer and closer and closer, not only to the Messianic checkpoint in like three days from now, |
| 0:36.7 | but also closer and closer to day 100, which is four days in like three days from now, but also closer and |
| 0:37.5 | closer to day 100, which is four days from now. As I said, this day 97, we're reading from 1st Samuel |
| 0:42.8 | chapter 3, 4, and 5. We're also praying Psalm 150, which is the last Psalm in the book of Psalms. |
| 0:48.8 | We're going to take a little break from the Psalms after tomorrow and go to the Proverbs once again and then we'll return back to the Psalms because those prayers so, so important. We are praying and reading from the revised |
| 0:59.2 | standard version, second Catholic edition. That's the version of the Bible translation that we're |
| 1:02.8 | using. Right now, I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download |

| 1:16.5 | If you've not yet done that after 96 days, I don't know what to tell you. I don't think there's |
| 1:21.1 | anything I can do to convince you. You probably already done it. And you're like, |
| 1:24.2 | father, why do you have to say this every single time? And the answer is because |
| 1:27.8 | I was told to. And that is the answer. Once again, we are reading today on day 97 from 1st Samuel |
| 1:35.8 | chapter 3, 4 and 5 and praying Psalm 150. The first book of Samuel, chapter 3, the Lord calls Samuel. Now the boy Samuel was ministering |
| 1:48.7 | to the Lord under Eli, and the word of the Lord was rare in those days. There was no frequent vision. |
| 1:54.6 | At that time, Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see was lying down |
| 1:59.9 | in his own place. The lamp of God had not yet |
