Today, we’re all in 1 Chronicles – keeping it simple! 🙂 We’ll read 1 Chronicles 5: 18-26, 6:3, 6:49, 6:4-15, 7, and 8:1-28. Come on back and let’s share our highlights – here’s mine:
“Because the war was God’s” (1 Chron 5:22 NKJV)
Lord, help me always recognize who the battle belongs to. If the battle is the Lord’s, we can be confident throughout that there is victory. insert big sigh of relief here We are not reposponsible for the victory – we are responsible for our own faithfulness during the battle.
Another aspect of the battle belonging to the Lord? If we can allow that the battle belongs to the Lord, we must also allow that the victory belongs to the Lord – and victory may not look the way we want it to look. His thoughts our not our thoughts, and what you think is voctory might not be the outcome that the Lord intends. Relax and let Him fight for you! He has our best in His heart always.

As I was reading today it came to the portion of “these we’re the leaders of their clans”, I knew we were fixing to start reading names and I was going to fall asleep doing so. Not today! I guess because we’re in 245 days of reading I now have a story in my mind of what the name goes to (not all the names) that as I read them I said to myself, “I know that one and that one” and so on; it was a different attitude while reading. Although I will be honest here. I had to put audio on while I read the names otherwise I would have mis-pronounced 90% of them. 245 days!!!! Wow! Can anyone else relate?
