Hi, my name is 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. 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 and how we fit into that story today. It is day 75. Oh my gosh, 75 is a phenomenal milestone. I think it's worth celebrating the fact that you made it to this day. We are reading from Numbers chapter 29 and 30, Deuteronomy chapter 29.
We're also praying Psalm 113. One of the things to keep in mind is we are getting to these last chapters in Numbers and the last chapters in Deuteronomy. And so to pay attention of like as the story kind of wraps up this desert wandering time period We're going to hear some rules. Gosh, that's a surprise. But we're also going to hear the ending of the story when it comes to the desert wanderings.
Not so much today, but keep that in mind as these times, as I mentioned before, the timelines are converging, right? Numbers telling the whole story from the beginning of Mount Sinai and the wandering through the wilderness. But then Deuteronomy being that look back that Moses has been able to proclaim to the people of God.
and then giving them that new law, or not the new law, but the law once again, knowing their hearts and knowing that they need to be reminded of the great laws of God. So the Bible translation we are reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.
