Day 115: King Saul is Spared (2026)
About this episode
Fr. Mike discusses how God remains faithful to those He has chosen, using King Saul as an example.
Fr. Mike uses King Saul as an example that God does not unchoose those he has chosen, and never loses faith in us. Even if we feel someone is in power unjustly, it's God who decides who holds power, not us. Today's readings are 1 Samuel 24 and Psalm 57.
