Day 147: Temple Worship - The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- 📖 Follow along with the official Bible in a Year Reading Plan: tinyurl.com/y2...
Fr. Mike reinforces the power of God's presence in the Temple, and the importance of worshipping God the way he desires to be worshipped. We also begin to hear how Solomon starts disobeying God and setting himself up for idolatry. Today's readings are 1 Kings 5, 2 Chronicles 7-8, and Psalm 66.
We hear every day from our community how The Bible in a Year helps to capture hearts and souls for Christ. While we’re happy to make it free to our audience, it’s not free to create! It takes a significant investment to produce the podcast and distribute it free-of-cost to the public. You can make a gift of financial support to help defray these costs and enable us to keep bringing evangelizing digital media to all those searching for God: tinyurl.com/y4...

“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land”
-2 Chronicles 7:14
Prayers fir you Father Mike..and for everyone..
I am loving it each day! Thank you for this community, your comments are so precious and will hold it forever! God is great!!!
Praying for Fr. Mike & BIY. 🙏🙏🙏 Our pastor will be celebrating his 50th anniversary as a priest with a novena from June1 thru June9.❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful!
@@kmousie Father Bill is in his 70's and says a very reverent mass and is totally dedicated to the two parishes that he runs. I pray that his health holds up as there is such a shortage of priests in our area.❤🙏
What an awesome achievement!
Thank you, Fr Mike. My third time around with BIAY. Praying for you and all. God Bless. Claire.
Cannot tell you how much I am loving this! I met an Evangelical man a few hours ago and, after referring to the Lord a few times, we talked about Scripture. He commented that there are some good Catholics, but only about 20% know anything about the Bible. I told him I read it and study it every day, so he asked me for my favorite part. I replied that I have been enjoying learning about the Old Testament so that I can better understand the New Testament. He expressed that I "must really be smart" because he found it difficult to understand the OT. I assured him that I am far from a theologian, but have been finding BIAY to be an outstanding tool in helping me to understand. He had his son download the app immediately!
As an aside, I think I am going to stop praying so much for wisdom and start praying more for obedience!
I think all of us are on a mission we just need to keep our eyes and ears open for the opportunity to talk about Jesus and our faith. Good job! ❤🙏
Lord, Your mercy endures forever. Your glory is all consuming. We humble ourselves before you. Help us to remain faithful and stay close to you. Thank you for always remaining faithful to us. Above all, may our worship and sacrifice always boil down to our obedience in delighting to bring glory to your name. 🙏🏻
😊😊😊
I love this.
Father, may your will be done.
🙏
Praying for you Father Mike and everyone on this journey Amen 🙏
🙏👅
Thank you Father Mike
Prayers for everyone 🙏 BIY
Obedience - Doing what God wants.
Rebellion - Doing what I want.
God does not want the sacrifice of burnt offerings.
God wants the sacrifice of obedience.
Obedience to Gods' Word and His Will.
Gods' way, not my way.
God has a way, even when I don't see a way.
I pray and ask Him to show me the way, that is His Will, not mine. Then I wait on the Lord, and he answers me. Amen. 🕯
Thank you and God Bless you Father Mike. Praying for you and for all of your followers here on this Journey.
Thank you!
Thank you Father Mike. Good reading in Scriptures today and great reflection. Praying for you Father Mike. Praying for all who are in need, including all of you. Please pray for me.
Jesus, grant me the grace of humility and obedience. Mary, Queen of Saints, beseexh Your Son to grant me this gift, helpe to be a hospitable home for the Holy Spirit. Me and everyone who crosses my path. Amen. 🙏🙌🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙏
Like King David, God spoke directly to Solomon. The difference is that David often asked God before he did anything major. Such a pity that Solomon married an Egyptian.
Heavenly Father help us to always seek your counsel in what we do and grant us the grace to hear and listen to You, in Jesus's mighty Name we pray Amen 🙏🏻
Very good
26MAY2024. Day 147. O Lord, help us be obedient. Amen
I look forward to hearing your voice daily, Father Mike. It lifts me up along with the Bible readings. I need your prayers and I also pray for you and your great wisdom and knowledge.
Good to see you here again.
@@JakeWangThank you! I'm here every day.
My second time around BIY podcast 🙏prayers for you Fr Mike and religious who brings to us God's blessings🙏🙏🙏
Thanks be to God.
Day 147..the building of the temple must have been a glorious sight to see..what an amazing amount of sacrificial offerings for the dedication of the temple. The power of God's presence!
Once again we here about obedience and following the commandments and statutes of the Lord. Eventually he'll fall into the human desires with multiplication of things, and turn away from the Lord.
Come and see what God has done; he is awesome in his deeds among men..bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard..prayers for Father Mike and all the BIY family 🙏❤
Thank you Dear Father Mike. God bless all. 🙏❤️
Prayers to the whole BIAY community. I'm so thankful to be journeying with you. Prayers to you, Fr. Mike, and thank you so much for this gift! I learn something everyday and am looking forward to the next 218 days of insights.
Hi Eric! I am going through the BIY a second time and I loving it even more this time. My name is Diane and I live in Florida. I am glad to meet a fellow bible traveler.🥰🙏
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 God's voice in the Scriptures that we may revere & 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.
When someone u need won't take care of something don't worry God will. smiles
I look forward to hearing this everyday.🙏
Amen 🙏.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, shape our hearts like unto thine
Thank you father Mike, praying for you all.. God bless ❤️🙏🏻
I am back but will be gone a few days next week. Thanks ❤🙏

Father in heaven we give you praise. Ah, you o hear our prayers. God. I mean, every time we talk to you, Lord, You hear our voices. You know the longing of our hearts. You know the depth of our prayer. You also know our distraction. You know how easily we can be distracted from loving you with our whole heart, with our whole mind, with our whole strength. You know how easily it is that we are turned aside from you. And so, we thank you for being able to hear through all the noise, cutting through all of the distraction, cutting through all of the turmoil that our hearts can experience because you know our hearts. You not only know the peace in our hearts, you know the troubled, troubled hearts that live in our chest. And so, we ask you, please once again, let your ears be open, let your eyes be open to see who we are to see us truly, and to hear our voice, and to hear our prayers this day and every day. We make this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.

Fr. Mike- your prayers are so creative, simple, but meaningful. The prayer today really hit me whilst talking about distraction as I have really been distracted through this reading today. Thanks for another amazing video here on day 147! Thanks Ascension Presents! May God bless and keep you all, your families, and your friends! - August 13, 2024 ❤
Thank you father mike for sharing god’s word Amen 🙏
O Lord, I pray for my brothers and sisters and Father Mike for obedience. Forgive my sins for I am rebellious and dwell on my own strength and knowledge. Yet, for I know nothing, for I understand nothing, if I cannot put YOU in my heart. I pray for having obedience before my insignificant understanding. I shall love YOU before everything. For No wealth, no wisdom, and now power on this earth can compete to the love YOU have been giving me. Amen.
🙏🕯
May 26, 2024 Sunday, Here I am.
To stay focus…against distraction, Truly need The Lord HELP 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
“Turn to me and take pity on me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.”
Psalms 86:16
Amen! ❤🙏
God help me to be obedience at all times
I thought of Saint Paul's church near where i live in Westerville Ohio. It is beautiful. The beauty of the church and campus draws the community to it. We definitely cannot forgot about the beauty of Christianity.
Solomon saw wonders from God, the fire coming down from heaven & the glory of the Lord filling the temple such that the priests couldn’t enter, & God spoke to him. He started well, but you don’t see Solomon turning to God like David did. He doesn’t seem to depend on God or seek His counsel like his father did. The foreshadowing comes when Solomon married the daughter of Pharaoh & houses her outside of Jerusalem. Solomon’s heart will be pulled outside Jerusalem as well. His heart will be divided. We can take this as a lesson to keep our hearts focused on God both in worship & how we live.🙏❤️
I enjoy your clear summaries. Hope all is well with you. I hope you get this reply. 🥰🙏
Yeah, you think he would have learned from the mistakes of the previous kings, who follow idolatry and fall away from the Lord 😢
@@roknrone Even then they did not study and learn from history. Our America is being led by people who do no know or study history either. Or maybe they just want POWER. 🥵
@@dianefrank3688 Thank you! I don’t know why you’re not getting any of my replies, Diane. It doesn’t make sense. I reply to you almost every time. Take care.🙏❤️
@@roknrone Very short-sighted. Even though he was the wisest man to live it was all in vain.
Dear Lord I pray for everyone who is involved in the creation of this content to learn your Word and all this community who is following this amazing trail. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏
Amen. It is very true the LORD hears our prayer on its proper time. God bless Fr. Mike and us all.
I wanted to wish you and your family a blessed Easter. I can’t thank you enough for being a servant of God and doing this Bible in a year podcast. It helps me get closer to God and I love hearing the scriptures. I can’t thank you enough and may God always bless you and keep you safe and healthy. You are in my daily prayers along with the community of f people who are listening to this Bible in a year podcast.
OHHHHH....FR Mike....the last 3 and a half minutes nailed it for me...prayers to you and all on this bible study journey...
Faithful God! Merciful God!
Pls bless us with your spirit of wisdom and obedience to keep enjoying your faithfulness and mercies through Christ Our Lord.Thank you Fr Mike for the explicit readings and reflections.
God bless us all.
So grateful Father Mike for your work on this Bible in a Year.
Please consider listening to the Marian Press Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year with Father Roesch. It is also on TH-cam. Each days reading is only about 7 minutes long.
Please pray for Souls in Purgatory. Praying for all of you!

Thank you, Dawn! Due to your messages I have started listening to Sister Faustina's diary in a year with Father Roesch and am very much enjoying it---now on day 10. God bless you!
@@rebeccapeerless515 oh my goodness this makes my heart so very happy. Thank you so much for letting me know! God Bless You!
Thank you Dawn!!! I had no idea it was there!
Praise You Lord Jesus Christ❤❤❤ amen prayers father Mike
Father Mike you are amazing 🙏🏽
Many blessings to you Father Mike . Your voice is soothing and inspiring. I am 79 years old and I am finally understanding the holy Bible. Thank you 🙏
Thank You Father Mike for sharing the bible with all of us it is a blessing to be able to understand the bible the word of God bringing us closer to God.. Praying for Father Mike and everyone who is in need of prayers.
Thank you Father Mike
Thank you dear Fr. Mike. Once again God just asks for obedience for our own good, but sometimes we do the opposite. Thank you for this lesson, God bless
Thank you Fr. Mike, praying for you. 😂
Trying to finish this year. Started 8 months behind. Numbers and Chronicles were alot of repeatative numbers and names. Amazing, difficult to ponder the mass endeavor to create the state of Israel. So much faith, so much chaos. Maybe a month to catch up.. This would be one of my biggest feats to finish this series. A real journey...
Persevere!!
I hope you made it.🙏❤️
Thank you Fr Mike. Obedience is difficult. What God wants seems hard to us, but we must do what God wants regardless. It will only benefit us in the end, when we must go before Him on the last day. If we have been faithful, we will be happy we did follow
his laws. God Bless. Praying for you. Thank you for praying for us. Claire.
Great lessons on idolatry, faithfulness of God and how we need to spread the Word of God.
* Thanks for explaining the difference between the Books. The Book of Kings is indeed a bit behind than the Book of Chronicles and both show the history from different perspectives.
* Keeping Pharoah’s daughter away from the Lord God indeed wasn’t the right thing and I realized this after Fr. Mike’s analysis. Solomon and we, should not keep people away from God and Jesus BUT introduce them to God and Jesus and the Gospels! We see someone who’s not a follower of the true God praising God thanks to Solomon’s work on the temple building. That’s an example of how we can glorify God through our work and have people also believe in God!
* Idolatry of spouse, houses, possessions etc. indeed leads us to lose our focus from God.
* We need to be obedient to God! God is faithful and always accepts us even if we get lost and sin. We must change our ways, repent and sin no more as Jesus said. King Solomon committed mistakes of idolatry even though he was fortunate enough to have God communicate with him through dreams.
* Psalm 66 indeed shows how God blessed David and his house. It reminds us of God’s mercy and how we are to behave after we get blessed by God.
Thank you for your work, Fr. Mike and Team Ascension. God bless you and the fellow listeners
🙏🏻
God Bless Fr Mike and everyone 🙏🙏
Father Mike counts the days like I count my minutes on the treadmill. 10 minutes which are one third of 30 minutes which are half of one hour.
Thank you Fr Mike for loving us, may our God bless you always.
Amen 🙏
Lovely work.
My neighbours might need love.
It must be amazing to own all those horses. To even own one horse and love it for all it's life. There's not many horses in this world now. They are very beautiful animals. When look at a horse it seems as though it can read your thoughts. It's like it knows more than we do. It just can not talk. Neigh is all it can say. Thank you God for beautiful horses. Solomon must have adored horses. But do horses like having chariots attached to them?
Thank you!
God Bless you, Father Mike!
Thank you Father Mike for suggesting looking up the images of King Solomons's temple, I would never have been to imagine such beauty or sizes. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you. God bless.
God bless
If you will only obey the Lord your God, by diligently observing all his commandments that I am commanding you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Round Two
Please pray for Souls in Purgatory. Go ahead, just take about 30 seconds to help save a soul that maybe is your family member or friend! Go forth and help save! Here is the prayer:
(According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited the following prayer, it would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory.)
The Prayer of St. Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
God would reply to St. Gertrude that He would use whatever was offered to Him for the faithful departed, according to His inclination to show pardon & mercy.
🙏🏽
20,000 Cors is 1,080,000 gallons. I don’t think we realize the ornateness of the temple and grandeur.
19:56 - he is not willing to be obedient. Maybe that's one of our downfalls as well
-> It doesn't seems. it actually is.
So pray for me also, to be obedient, and learn the freedom of obedience in His presence. (not just to do things) 🙏
Deuteronomy 5: 33
You must follow exactly the path that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you are to possess.

Wonderful lesson, I am glad you pointed out about Pharoh's daughter . Why didn't the Israelite teach God's ways to their pagan wives. Why did they turn to their false Gods?
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
7:00 in the video, is an awesome song by Don Moen called "Return to Me".
I'm seeing much of myself in Solomon, and it terrifies me.
So Solomons temple is no longer because Solomon didn't stay with God ? I guess I will find out as the story goes along.
Is Soloman building a house and Temple at the same time? Are all the materials, cypress for the Kings house or for the Temple? I'm confused...Does the Lord give himself access to all these people daily? In person..They talk to the Lord as if he's a physical friend..not of a friend not seen..They have easy access to him.He answers them on a regular basis..Thats the difference between them and us..we don't have easy access to the Lord.as they did.

🙏🏿📿🛐
Father, 148 & 149 keep appearing out of order on the playlist on YT..
I've listened to both many times over...which is no hardship :)
I find it curious how Solomons tolerance to Pharoahs daughters idolatrous conduct is so relatable to today's tolerance of immoral behaviors. As Fr Mike has explained, tolerance is not the same as love. You can love someone but tolerance does not wish the good of another. It perpetuates the notion that the other's sin is acceptable. Love involves sticking your neck out and loving guiding a person towards a better path away from destruction of self.
💯❤️🙏🌹
Today they have replaced horses and chariots with military tanks and armoured vehicles.
I live near Ocala Florida and it is know as horse country. 🥰
@@dianefrank3688 Good. Glad to know there's still plenty of horses. Multiply them, I say. It must be amazing to ride horses and own them. I have riden a horse in Ibiza on a holiday and a dog chased a cat in front of my horse and maybe I did something wrong with the reigns. The horse went right up in the air and I fell off, breaking my collar bone shoulder and arm. It was dislocated too. & The Ibiza hospital time is another story. I just say it was not nice, to keep it brief.
@@dianefrank3688 But the horse was so sorry, Licking my face. So I know it was not the horses fault. I love horses. I just have only rode one once.
@@nellennatea I do not own a horse and I am terrible rider. My favorite great niece &
great nephew live in Colorado and are in the Westerners. They can do almost anything on a horse. They are in horse shows and do tricks on horses. Ride two horses while standing up, ride a horse while doing a hand stand, leaping from one horse to another by leaping off the ground. It is amazing. My great niece loves the horses so much that she signed up to clean the stables and brush the horses. Both of them are in the exceptional program at school. Their mother teaches 1st grade at a Montessori school. They hike all the trails of Colo. in their spare time. They sing and play instruments in the church choir. Their mother never let them have cell phone until they were in high school, they have extreme limited time on the computer, The family hikes and goes to church together.. They lived with me for seven years in Florida and I love and miss them so much.❤
My Colo. great niece; great nephew love horses they do not own one either. If they were not members of The Westerners they would not have access to horses. Their mother does not ride at all. Once they graduate from high school they will not be able to be in the Westerners and therefore will not have access to horses. They do not have the money as a family to pursue this. It is a shame as my niece especially has an emotional connection to them.😥

Smoking marijuana actually helps me get closer to God because I have ADHD and I hate to sit still and I’m on other 💊meds Am I sinning????
I’d almost be tempted to ask your parish priest on that one. That’s a good question Gia.
If your meds are prescribed, I don’t think they’d be. As for the weed, I’m not real sure. I’m sure your parish priest would be glad to give you some clarity on it.
Maybe you could see if CBD only (or all the compounds but THC) help so you can just smoke or take that (in oil or capsules for example) instead of having the THC too which believe me is not good for your spiritual life even if it doesn't feel so bad (I was smoking 8 joints a day for almost 8 years and it does make you insensitive to God and reality) but ask a priest indeed
@@capucinetosi8361 That’s a great idea
