Day 109: A Heart of Obedience (2026)

As we continue to read about Saul's vanity and disobedience, Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of the virtue of obedience in our relationship with God. He also points out how God chose David to be anointed as king because David was a man after God's own heart. Today's readings are 1 Samuel 15-16 and Psalm 61.

Support The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

There are people that adamantly defend a point on principle. “People shouldn’t break the law,” they might say.

But, I would respond, lawgivers should not make laws out of eggshells.

There must be a map of ethics that can be traced, in order to ensure that all legal and legislative processes are ethical and just.

There are countless cases of laws being made to be broken, in order to trap the law-breaker. This is silly, and in extreme cases it becomes tyrannical. But, only socialists are tyrannical, it seems (that’s sarcasm).

We must be just, ethical and graceful. Laws are made to guide and protect, not profit and entrap.

This is a great scripture that I often use to guide my walk and enduing actions:

He has made it clear to you, mortal man, what is good and what the LORD is requiring from you— to act with justice, to treasure the LORD’s gracious love, and to walk humbly in the company of your God.

-Micah 6:8 ISV
