Today's Passage: 1 Chronicles 6
Over the next few days, we will be reading a genealogical history of Israel. Because the passages will be a bit repetitive, you are going to see the same blog post for the next few days as well.
While reading the genealogy, think about the following points:
* Remember that these are real people and real places. The Bible, and especially the Old Testament, is also a book of history. The fact that many of these people and places have been traced or discovered over the years continues to affirm the truth of scripture.
* The family was very important in Old Testament Israel...so much so that they went to great lengths to list families such as these in several OT books. They lived the truth of Deuteronomy 6...that discipleship and worship starts in the home.
* As you read, think about your own spiritual genealogy. Praise God for the people in your family that pointed you toward the eternal hope of Christ. If you can't point to those people in your own life, praise God that He has brought you into His family forever. Ask God to make you the kind of person that will leave a spiritual legacy for years to come...what are you doing right now to teach your children, your grandchildren, your brothers and sisters...what will impact your family tree forever?
Enjoy this week of reflection and prayer as we study the Word together!
