Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, & all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. May your word take deep root in our hearts & transform our ways of thinking, deciding, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear & understand the word of God in the Scriptures that we may revere and treasure both the Old & the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness & humility, & with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Help us to be diligent students & faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull & may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Amen.

Such an important message and wisdom today about decisions, power, and God’s will. * David recognizes the power of God’s decisions and God’s faithfulness. Thus, it is not our prerogative to choose what happens but only God’s prerogative. We must say yes to whatever God has told us to do and also cooperate with the current limitations as well as the current situation. Out of the wicked shall come forth wickedness. May the LORD God be the judge between two people. We must not do wicked things and force things or do things in a hurry. We must consult God and advisors like how David did before fighting the battle of Keilah. We must always be ready to do God’s will! * Psalm- Praise and Assurance during Persecution- This is such a relatable psalm as we are often ignored or injustice or unfairness happens with us. We must pray to God and trust in Him. Thank you so much, Fr. Mike and Team Ascension. I pray for more power and protection for you and the fellow listeners. God bless

This is my 3rd time listening to, and loving The Bible in a year. Each time is more enriching than the previous. What I am taking out of this Day 115 is as David recognises God's right to appoint Saul King, he also respects that God will decide when Saul has run his race. I think that I need to let God handle the length of Pope Francis reign as much as I desire a new and holier Pope.

I now ask God for wisdom before I write on here, it is so easy to spout, and my wish is not to offend, I am examining my own faith as I go through this. Just yesterday I wrote a comment, and a couple of hours later took most of it off ! I felt the Lord was saying to me wrong timing. It is sometimes hard to tell if it is my will or Gods, so I ask for wisdom, it is not my intention to upset or offend, if I have ever done that then I apologise, I am a work in progress😄

David's righteousness shines through..at least at the moment..the way Saul responded to David shows that even he as king knows the it's just a matter of time, till David will reign. Be merciful to me, O God, for in you my soul takes refuge..such glorious words!

This is the most timely podcast for me for this day. I was pretty sad that a project I wanted went to someone else. And I always thought I wanted that project (admittedly for the challenge and the glory). But maybe 1) God is not calling me for that battle for now 2) It may not be the battle God wants me to fight 3) I have another battle ahead. I do need to consult and listen to Our Lord more. I need to pray about it. Please pray for me. Thank You Fr Mike! Praying for you!!

In December of 2016, my daughter had been meeting many men online through various dating services. Most of them were "jerks", so at least she knew what she didn't want. But, she still hadn't met the right man. So, she asked God, "Do you want me to get married? or "If you don't want me to get married, what should I do with my life?" In January, she met a wonderful guy named William and they've been married for nearly 5 years. He is a devout Catholic and truly loves my daughter. Our family really "hit the lottery" when he became part of our family.

05:47 Father in heaven, we give you praise up and we lift your name up and we thank you. We thank you even in the midst of trial. We thank you even in the midst of persecution. And in these, we follow these, follow these stories of King David, he's being hunted, he's being hunted unfairly, he's being treated unfairly, we can see snapshots of our lives, we can see snapshot of when we have been victims of injustice, when we have been victims of injustice, when we have been those who have experienced the evil of others, evil decisions of other people, and so we, like David, we give you praise even in the midst of the battle. We give you praise even in the midst of the struggle. We give yo praise even in the midst of injustice, because you desire justice, and you bid us to work for justice. You bid us to trust you, to praise you, and to belong to you. And so this day we reassert the fact that, Lord God, even when things are difficult and when things are dark, we are yours. And when things are a struggle and things are a battle, that we fight in your name and we fight according to your plan and your will may be glorified this day and every day of our lives. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. †

1 Samuel 24 shows Saul returning from battle with the Philistines where he is informed David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi. Saul chases David with 3000 Israelites. He finds a cave and enters without knowing David is inside. David has an opportunity to ambush Saul in the cave but tells his men not to for it would disobey the Lord's appointed kingship of Saul. After Saul leaves, David announces himself and speaks to Saul. He reveals that he had an opportunity to kill Saul but did not take it as he will not sin against Saul for "wicked proceeds from the wicked." He asks that the Lord be judge between David and Saul. Saul respects David's mercy and admits David is more righteous. He asks that the Lord reward David and predicts David shall be King of Israel. He has David swear not to cut off Saul's descendants. Psalm 57 is a Michtam of David. David pleads for the Lord's mercy in this time of calamities. He states his soul is among deadly lions. Thus, he exalts the Lord above all else. The Lord has delivered his enemies into his hand as they have fallen while setting a trap. Thus, David's heart remains steadfast and he exalts God. Day 115 - 4/25/2022
