What’s The Reason For 1st Chronicles

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.”  2 Timothy 3:16-17

During my Bible time, it came time for 1st Chronicles, and I had to stand up and drink extra coffee while reading the first nine chapters. Just being honest here, I did not understand the need for endless genealogies!

I do trust God’s Word, and if all scripture is inspired and is useful and prepares us, then even the first nine chapters of genealogy in 1st Chronicles must have something for us!

All means all, right?

The question I needed to ask was, why? Why did God feel it necessary to include these chapters, and what was I missing?

As I began to study the importance of these chapters, I actually got excited and looked forward to reading them. It became a treasure hunt – what names did I recognize from where? Oh, those two were related? Wow, look at the plans God has for so many people!

I am going to share a few reasons I was able to turn my dread into excitement, and I hope they will encourage you if you have the same struggles that I did!

  1. First Chronicles is compatible with the secular History books. It proves the reality of the stories we read and how they fit into real life. This is not a myth; it is real History.
  2. It reminds those who returned to rebuild after the exile that they, too, had God’s promises. God had told them judgment would come, and it did. It was to encourage them to acknowledge God as YAWHEH. It shows them, and us, that God is faithful to His promises.
  3. As we see the past acknowledged, we can see the thread from David to our Savior. It is a reminder of God’s ultimate redemption plan. It is all about His-Story!
  4. It is a reminder that even though evil kings and kingdoms seemed as if they were winning at times, God is the ultimate victor. His will and His plan will prevail!
  5. It reminded them, and ultimately us now, that God has a plan and purpose for each of our lives and that we fit into His big story.

First Chronicles, and other genealogies, are so much more than just names. They are woven together to demonstrate the fabric of humanity. From Adam, God had a plan. He had a perfect plan, and when, by free will, sin entered it, God continued to offer a redemptive plan.

Why? He loves us. He created us to reflect Who He is, and to have a relationship with Him.

Isaiah 43:7 says, “Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.”

Next time you come to a genealogical series in scripture, I hope this will help you not only get through it but see the purpose and God’s hand through it.

“Father, help us to remember it is You who created us and have a plan for us. Help us to give you our all.”

For His Glory

Celebrating Freedom

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

For the past few weeks, our great nation has been host to the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament, with tens of thousands of people coming to the USA from around the world to cheer on their national teams. And if you’ve spent even two minutes on any social platform or YouTube during this time, you’ve likely seen the reels showing these foreigners reacting—with general astonishment—to all that all-things-American, as well as our nation’s typically kind and bighearted citizens. Why all the shock and amazement, you wonder? Whether it’s the stunning and diverse beauty of our country’s landscapes, the sweet and orderly neighborhoods (lined with small or monstrous homes), or the warm greetings and interactions with Americans—not to mention our food, food portions, and free refills—these men and women of all ages, from Europe, Asia and Australia, are experiencing the unexpected.

You see, a common thread in their commentary is what they’ve been told about the USA from their nation’s media. The narrative that they’ve relentlessly been fed prior to visiting our nation has been how horrible this place is, how terrible the people are, and how restricted our lifestyle is, complete with constant riots, conflict, and peril at every turn. So, their expectations have been shattered by the reality they are experiencing. Admittedly, our nation is more divided than it’s ever been in my lifetime, but the majority of our nation and people maintain a grateful, patriotic heart to live in the greatest country in the world. And, thankfully, this has been the overarching experience of our World Cup visitors. What’s really cool is that the whole world will be watching on July 4 as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday and the completely unique freedom that defines us. Without argument, the United States is the freest nation in the world—and those who are experiencing this for the first time are rightly in awe…and in their excitement and joy, they cannot help but share what they’ve seen and heard.

If you are a believer, you’ve likely seen the above scenario played out from a spiritual perspective—at church or wherever someone hears the Good News. See, many people have been told that Christianity is horrible, its people terrible, and the lifestyle restricted—they’d never want to be part of it. They have definitive expectations. All negative. But then…they experience the grace and mercy of God. Through faith in Christ, they go from darkness to light, become new creations, imputed with undeserved righteousness. Most importantly, they are freed from being slaves to sin and death—free from the shackles of this world and made citizens of Heaven (2 Corinthians 3:17; Acts 13:38-39; Romans 8:1-2; Philippians 3:20). No matter what nation a person abides in, if they are in Christ, they are the freest people in the world (Galatians 5:1). And, although there are some unkind, judgmental, divisive Christians, most followers of Christ are kindhearted, generous, and joyfully appreciative of their freedom. Like immigrants coming to the USA from Communist China or Cuba, we believers have lived in darkness but now live in the glorious Light, fully cognizant of where we’ve been and what we’ve been rescued from. And, hopefully, from the moment of salvation through the decades thereafter, we remain in awe of it all.

Having experienced freedom in Christ—the diverse beauty of His Church, the warmth and generosity of believers, the joy available in Him even amid challenging storms—is our desire to share the news? Do we take it for granted, or rejoice in it daily? Is our response, “I can’t help but share what I’ve seen and heard” (Acts 4:19-20)? Oh, sweet friend, let’s be like the World Cup visitors! May we recognize and celebrate the true freedom we have in Jesus…and enthusiastically tell the world.

“Lord, help me never forget or take for granted the freedom I have in Christ. And please give me the boldness to always share with others the Good News of this Truth.”

For His Glory

Shaky Ground … Unshakeable Faith

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17 “But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.” Hebrews 10:39 (ESV)

It’s ever so easy to do the bare minimum, isn’t it? Like going to the gym, I can easily get into my stride of lifting the same weights on strength training days. I will press through those fifteen reps patting myself on the back for doing a great job. And it is great, but if I want to maximize strengthening my bones and muscles (which we ladies know is crucial as we age), then I have to switch up my routine. Lifting heavier weights with fewer reps serves my body well. When I release the urge to limit myself and challenge those muscle fibers, I can gain more strength.

Sounds a bit like faith doesn’t it? When life is easy and manageable, we tend to stride right through the day. Carrying our daily (light) load appears effortless. No heavy lifting of burdens in those seasons. Excusing away consistent time in God’s word because, after all, we’ve got this covered. Or even doing the bare minimum –  a quick devotional and checking it off the list. God’s divine preparation in our lives simply overlooked because our easy stride is sabotaging much needed growth.

The ease of life is here today and gone tomorrow. Hard places rise up to the surface, usually unexpectedly. Seasons of being overwhelmed and tackling heavy loads wears us down. Taking a daily breath can exhaust all the strength we have left leaving us anxious, doubtful and stressed about tomorrow. Zeroed in on our circumstances versus our God pivots us down a vulnerable path. Easy prey for the discouragement and disillusionment of Satan’s lies.

Right in the midst of life’s excruciating challenges, God desires to stretch our faith in ways we never imagined. And that stretching is always His divine appointment meant to serve us well. Those disciplines like prayer and studying God’s word that we excused in ease become the very life-giving breath we so desperately need. Reassurances of His presence and promises release daily pressures and enlarge our faith creating growth and perseverance. Counting God’s blessings even in hard places enables us to see His goodness even if it’s disguised as hard. Carrying that heavy load now seems doable as He strengthens the muscle fibers of our faith.

Oh sweet friends, we miss so much when we forfeit doing the hard work in seasons of ease. However, our loving and compassionate God finds great pleasure in us turning to Him and switching up our past bare minimum routine for the pursuit of Him. Thriving versus simply surviving is ours for the taking if we choose to learn through the pain and embrace God’s truth energizing us moment by moment. It’s a win – win when we seek His face and welcome His sovereign work in us instead of settling for the easy out.

“Father, create within us a deep love and passion for Your Word and teach us the benefits of standing firm in our faith even when the ground is shaky.”

For His Glory

Simply Jesus Followers

cb devo july 20

“Likewise, good works are obvious and those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden.” I Timothy 5:25 (HCSB)

Never been a fan of “I” conversations. You know where a whole list of what “I” did leaves very little room for anyone else to breathe a word. Especially when it comes to a roll call of all the good the “I” did. Slips in ever so carelessly and often without intent. Now don’t get me wrong –sharing our right choices and behaviors in a sense of humility is a good thing. When we focus others on God’s mighty strength working through us to do what we know we can’t – that’s powerful. But when we are the ones drawing attention to all our good, we’re standing on a slippery edge about to plummet into pride.

Don’t you just love the way some people shine without even noticing it themselves? Kindness and mercy clothe their actions. Others, not themselves, become the center of uplifting conversation. Genuine love and grace motivates their responses. And their good deeds done unnoticed rise up to the surface bringing glory to God. They don’t need to draw attention to self because their motive is to honor Him.

Our world would herald them as unsung heroes or good Samaritans; Jesus simply calls them followers. Those who choose to walk in His footsteps – full of humility – serving without notice. They stay late when others have walked out. They quietly pay a family’s meal when struggle seems apparent. They notice a need and cover it behind the scenes. They listen intently and don’t wait for an invitation to help. Simply Jesus followers – more concerned about changing their world – than making a name for self.

“Sweet Jesus rid us of the desire to showcase our perceived good. Keep us far away from the edge of pride and remind us to glorify Your name in all that we do.”

For His Glory

God Is Good

“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!  For His mercy endures forever.” Psalms 118:1 (NKJV)

From the day after the twin towers fell, over 225 deaths have occurred in the United States from violent extremists and the numbers are growing.  Home-grown extremists, the journals report. Violence fueled by anger, tradition and illness, I suspect.  Likely only to intensify and move closer to our own backyards.  In God we trust, so in the midst of such anxiety, division and destruction, does He care?  Is He good?

We all face events in our lives that cause us to wonder why.  Some reach national media attention while most never leave our hearts.  A loved one opts to take the easy road and terminates a dear friendship.  A child’s heart seems cold and cares little about how actions will affect his future.  A doctor’s diagnosis is imminent and you know your life will take a path not wanted or chosen.  The doom of uncertainty and rejection can invade our lives so that no glimmer of hope, promise or peace can break forth from the darkness of despair.

Theologians are uncertain as to the writer of our key verse today from Psalms 118.  Speculation points towards the penned words of David as he successfully skirted Saul’s pursuit and became King.  Other researchers theorize the writing occurred after the rebuilding of God’s holy temple or perhaps the Israelites return from exile.  Regardless of the origin, the children of God had persevered through the trial, learned to depend on God, to hear His voice and trust in His divine care.  The resulting cry was in the goodness of God and His mercy that lasts forever.

To God I must cling; to His perfect character, to the promises as evidenced in His Word when life’s circumstances seem to overtake all logic.   With Jesus’ death and resurrection, we know how it all will end.  Victory.  All of creation will conclude in unison.  Victory.  God sees the ending from the beginning for the situation with which I struggle today.  Victory.  God’s sole purpose in anything that touches my life is that I might know Him more fully, trust Him completely and surrender to the One who created me, sustains me and loves me.  Nothing that touches my life does so without His approval.  All things are intended to bring me closer to my Father.  And that is good!

“Father, the world brings terror to our doorstep.  May we trust that You are good.  May we see and experience Your mercy.”

For His Glory

Where’s My Spiritual Stopwatch

“As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him.”  Colossians 2:6 9(KJV)

I love my smartwatch.  I am almost obsessed with it.  I check my steps, exercise numbers, and all the data more times than I care to admit!  My goal is to fight aging with my watch on a daily basis!  Don’t try to tell me it won’t work!  It has become a personal contest to see if I can up my steps from the day before, workout a minute or two longer, and burn more calories.  If I have not met my daily goal, you could possibly find me running up and down my steps at 9 pm!  I will do whatever it takes!

A few weeks before Mother’s Day, my watch broke and it was not pretty.  There was no way to salvage it, believe me, I tried!  My sweet husband indicated he may surprise me with one for Mother’s Day.  So I had to wait.  I couldn’t just run to Target and get one, in case he really had  bought it.

So I waited….

I had no idea how much I actually counted on my watch for my health until I did not have it anymore.  My days were off-how could I know if I was getting healthier or burning more calories?  What would happen if I didn’t achieve a higher goal than the day before?

I literally could feel my mood change because I did not have my watch.

Mother’s Day came, and he did get it for me!  I was so excited, I could barely wait for it to charge.

But it was broken…the whole watch worked except the exercise link…I am not kidding.

So then my conversation with Apple began.  I had to send this one back in order to receive a new one.

So I waited again…meanwhile I was sure I was falling apart by not getting more steps each day and maybe my oxygen level was declining, too.  How could I even know?

As I impatiently waited for the second new watch, there was nothing I could do to make it any faster, so that finally allowed me to stop and actually listen to God.

Through some quiet moments, God asked me if I cared about my relationship with Him each day as much as I cared about how many steps I was taking.  He asked me if I checked on my progress with Him as the day wore on.  He asked me if I cared if my spiritual health was improving as much as my physical health.  He asked me if I cared to fight my deceitfully wicked heart so that eternity would be different because of the life I lived here.

I did not appreciate these questions, but they were so needed.

It was time for a pivot.  Before I got my 2nd new watch,  I made some decisions about how I would move forward.  I still check my watch more than I should, but every time I check it, I thank God for my health and the ability to take these steps.  I pause and pray as I go for a walk or run the stairs.  I intentionally turn my focus to Him before I move forward to compete against my goal by reciting a verse, thanking Him for a Truth, or confessing where I have not met a spiritual goal of living a holy life for Him.

Now my watch not only measures my physical health, but I intentionally work to allow it to measure my spiritual health.  I will never have to count my steps in Heaven, but I want to know Jesus in a deeper way so that when I walk with Him I will know Him well.

“Father, help us not to allow earthly things to get in the way of our relationship with You.”

 

For His Glory

A Season Of Stop

“In repentance and rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength.” Isaiah 30:15

Even before I surrendered to Jesus at age 30, jumping into leadership roles was always my thing, from sports teams and student government to professional management and friend-groups. So, this pattern naturally continued in my Christian journey, from women’s Bible study group facilitator to home group leader (with my husband) to women’s ministry director. In my experiential talents and spiritual gifts, the Lord has allowed me to teach, encourage, and disciple—working through me while growing and blessing me in the process. (Just to be clear, I also recognize that there’s a fleshy side to “leadership” called “control”—and, as Paul teaches us in Romans, it’s been a constant battle for me to yield to the spiritual side.)

As I (way too) quickly approach my sixtieth birthday, however, an unfamiliar pull seems to be coming from the Lord. And, somewhat frustratingly, this recognition is showing up in every facet of my life (work, church, friends, even family). Now, I’m not sure it actually has anything to do with my accruing years…rather, I feel like it’s the dawn of a new spiritual season.

No matter how long you’ve been a Christ follower, you have no doubt walked through various seasons—times of deep abiding in Christ, waiting on the Lord, undeserved blessings, refining pain. Praise God, there is nothing that we go through that has not been addressed in God’s Word, extolled by His people, or experienced by our sweet Savior (Hebrews 4:14-16). Most of the time, we don’t really identify or label “the season” until it’s in the rearview mirror…when we can look back and say, “Oh, I see what You did there, Lord—thank You!” For other seasons, although we come through them to the “other side,” we may not see or understand their purpose until we’re glorified in heaven. Still other times, you can identify that something new from the Lord is on the horizon…you just don’t know what’s in store.

So, what’s this current I’m now swimming in that’s gently pulling me away from the shores of familiarity? Not quite as strong as an undertow, but equally as disconcerting, everything around me seems to be diminishing in a weird way. But it’s not really that the people, church, and work of my life are fading or distancing…it’s my controlling grasp on them. My need to lead, go, do. It’s like the Lord is consistently whispering, “Stop. Rest. Trust Me.” In my growing discontent with my current work, He says, “Just do what’s right in front of you—with excellence—not concerning yourself with how others are doing their job.” With regard to the “humanness” of church leadership, He soothingly says, “Step back and focus on what I am doing there—the hope found, the lives transformed, the eternities changed.” Even within my family and especially with my adult children, the Lord, with a knowing grin, reminds me, “Trust Me with them—I love them more than you do and am glorifying Myself through their lives.” And as my body gets weaker, despite my grasping at every health trend, He comforts me with, “This world is not your home, child. Don’t hold it so tightly.” Can you relate, sweet friend?

In Isaiah 30:15 the Lord concisely summarizes this concept. Expanding it a bit here with the Hebrew word definitions, it reads: “In repentance (returning to God) and rest (quietness) you will be saved (free, safe, preserved, rescued), in quietness (stillness) and trust (confidence) is your strength (valor, might, power, victory).” Can I get an “Amen”? This is simple, but it is far from easy. So, I’m stepping obediently (albeit hesitantly) into this new season of “stop” and “trust.”

What about you? What is the Lord whispering to your spirit at this time? Is it, “Go! Lead the way!” Then go—He’ll equip you! Or, like me, is it, “Be still (stop striving) and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)? Beloved, He is calling you, beckoning you follow. Let’s listen for His voice and step out in faith.

Lord, I do trust You. Help me be still and quiet. No matter the season You bring, may I always trust You and know You are God—in the “go and do” and the “stop and wait.”

Seizing Opportunities

“Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.”  Proverbs 22:9 (ESV)

Regardless of where you live, work or go to church there is an abundance of people in need.  Unexpected circumstances, illnesses and economic slumps can land anyone on the verge of financial collapse regardless of their well laid plans.  Depression, grief and anxiety can leave us empty and desperately in need of emotional help. Experiencing doubt, capitalizing on insecurities and being resistant to God’s truths will birth great spiritual deficit.  Yes,  we’ve probably all landed in the space of being unable to get through without a little help from our friends.

Love this reminder from the wisdom of Proverbs to cultivate a “bountiful eye.”  A perspective filled with liberal generosity.  A view which sees a need and desires to give, help and bless others.  An attitude focused not inward but outward.  One whose motives are pure and without need of a return favor or applause.  A “bountiful eye” is truly beautiful in the eyes of our God because it reflects His heart in serving and reaching out to those in need.

Just keeping it real here, but there are many times when my default is not a “bountiful eye.”  My busyness and zeroed focus on my agenda for the day has robbed me of being a blessing more than I’d like to count.  It takes intentionality to put others first, to watch for opportunities to bless others and to be willing to meet that need even if it disrupts our day.  However, I can guarantee we will never regret those moments when we seized the opportunity to allow generosity to reign above the rest.

So sweet friends let’s not waste any time to help those God brings into our path. Generosity doesn’t have to be costly to be impactful.  Our financial portfolio shouldn’t dictate our desire to reach out and help someone.  “Bountiful” encompasses so much more.  A note of encouragement, phone call or lunch with someone can be a pivotal turning point when life is overwhelming.   Offering to buy coffee for the person at the drive thru behind you could just simply put a smile on a discouraged face. Mentoring others and investing in their spiritual growth is another tangible way we can make an eternal impact. Inviting someone to attend Bible study can give them a renewed hope in God’s word and promises. Dropping by a meal or offering to babysit can lift the spirits of a weary mom.   The list is endless….be creative.  If we simply take the time to pray, look and listen, God will divinely orchestrate circumstances where we can share our bread with others.

“Father, You have blessed me with many resources.  Guide me in seizing  opportunities to share your love to those in need.

For His Glory

When Today Overwhelms

“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.” Psalm 94:19 (ESV)

Overwhelmed is never our desired place to reside. I love a challenge…a push me to the edge kind of moment as long as it’s manageable, doable. But in those moments when life is raging out of control and chaos is our mainstay, we feel as though we are drowning in a sea of responsibility and unpredictability.

Isn’t that where we’ve all been living? Lots of choices, decisions and concerns complicate our lives from the time we lift our heads off the bed until we collapse to sleep at night. And the sound of a morning alarm going off fills us with dread – just another day to tackle work challenges, rising gas prices and an unpredictable economy.

Lots swirling through our heads these days. Gotta love the promises of God reassuring us of His willingness to meet us right in the midst of all our overwhelmedness.  Whenever our thoughts get out of control, and they will, the sweet comfort of His presence calms us. God takes great delight in soothing us with reminders of His sovereignty to rule over our days and the challenges we face. Psalm 94 declares the transitioning of our load (all our cares and worries) to renewal and joy. Our Spirit is revived within us when we recognize God’s power to handle everything on our plates.

Morning comes quickly  – tomorrow will do the same. So how will we enlist the peace of God to infuse our day? Prior to COVID, I prayed on my commute to work. Laying down “my list,” confiding my struggles and admitting my tendency to try to be all things to all people. However, when my commute changed to simply walking from my bedroom to my home office, I often failed to start my day releasing all to Him. I just simply grabbed a quick shower and landed in front of my computer depending on “me.”  Not a good way to start the day.

Don’t know about you, but it’s time for me to start retracing my steps….spending time laying down the cares and challenges of another day before attempting to tackle anything on my list. Resisting the urge to carry it all and be weighed down by it all. Welcoming God’s perspective and orchestration of how each moment plays out. Trusting Him to guide me each step of the way. Perfect way to start my day.

Won’t you join me sweet friends? A planning session with our God is guaranteed to empower us with all we need for today.  Nothing else will birth such joy and delight within us even in the midst of overwhelmedness.

“Father, You take great delight in walking with us, running with us and carrying us through another day – teach us to release all at Your feet and walk away filled with joy.”

Convenience

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)

Merriam-Webster defines convenience as “a quality or situation that makes something easy or useful for someone by reducing the amount of work or time required to do something.” To me, traveling by car is a convenience that I seldom exchange for the pleasure of flying. Why? Simply because of all the nuisance involved in getting through the check lines, having complete strangers with blue gloves digging through my luggage and being at the mercy of airport authorities that may cancel flights at their own discretion. Experienced this pleasure when my flight to Miami got canceled after having been delayed three times, which made me wait until the next day to fly out. Sometimes we miss out on something great because we forego the opportunity just because of convenience.

Our obedience to God, however, cannot come out of convenience. His Word does contain promises for His people, but He also requires their obedience to His commands. It was not convenient for Moses to wander in the desert for 40 years with whining people by his side, but out of obedience, he did so. It was not convenient for Jesus to bleed and die on a cross for our sins, but out of obedience to His Father’s plan of salvation to mankind, He did so.

The frustration caused by the cancellation of my flight almost made me forget how awesome it is to travel above the clouds. I got to watch the sun rise and set in a way we normally can’t, unless we are risen above those clouds – definitely a worthy price to pay.

“Dear Lord, it isn’t always convenient for us to get out of our comfort zone and reach out to others, but thanks to Your grace, when we do it, the reward is so worth it!”

For His Glory
