Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in ear podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in Ear 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 192. We are in new books, in fact, two new books, including proverbs, which is an old book for us.

We're in Isaiah, chapter one and two, in tobit, chapter one and two. And we're in proverbs, chapter nine, verses seven through twelve. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the revised standard Version, second catholic edition. I'm using the great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com bibleina year.

So Isaiah, we're going to talk about him a bit of, because we are, we are going to be with Isaiah for the next roughly 30 days, give or take. If my math is accurate, it's 30 days.

And we're also diving into our secondary reading. Our second reading is tobit. Now, if you don't have a catholic Bible, Tobit might not be in your bible. It might be under what's categorized as apocrypha in non catholic bibles or deuterocanonical. Or you might even have a Bible that doesn't have it in there.

We're talking about why after this. But we're also diving by righteousness. But rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For you shall be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted. And you shall blush for the gardens which you have chosen. For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers and where we leave topit for today. Even the midst of doing right, he gets hurt, injured, attacked, exiled, because we know, we know that that can be our story as well. But even more importantly, I think the point of first and second tobit we just read today, or tobit one and two, we just read today that no matter where we are, no matter who we're surrounded by, no matter who is near or far, we can always do what we're supposed to do, regardless of what they're doing.And that's just such a, such an empowering and freeing and massive lesson for all of us to take in. Is that, again, no matter what others are doing, I can always do what God has asked me to do. And I think that's so important. So let's keep praying. Let's keep praying that we do that.Like tobit, no matter what happens to us, no matter what price, what cost, and also no matter what anyone else is doing, let's us do what we're called to do. In Jesus name, I'm praying for you. Please pray for me. My name is Fr. Mike.I can't wait to see you tomorrow. God.
