Good day dear friends.
Our prayers for Leslie Tomlinson and her family on the loss of her aunt in Big Spring, Texas. I have no other details other than that Kit and she leave today for the funeral. Please pray for their safety and blessing.
Our sister, Beth Morrisette is undergoing eye surgery tomorrow. Please pray for a complete victory in that procedure.
Here is our study guide for today:
Monday: 1 Chronicles 1, 2, 3In only a few cases in these lists is a name accompanied by some anecdote. Comment on several of the most interesting people.
My wife recently started doing our family geneaology. She has had free access to a limited time offer in some program that normally costs a bundle, and she has had access to US Census records. Where she once just had names of our relatives, in the census, we have an idea of what occupation they had when that particular census was taken. It adds a bit of knowledge and character to our families if we know a little about who they were and what they did, where they lived, and where they died. As we start the readings in 1 Chronicles, we discover the same thing. All the major players are listed there and when the writer nows where they lived, we are told. If the writer knows something, even negative about that person, we are told. And we get the idea of who these people were for good or bad.
As your children or grandchildren write your genealogy, what will be written about you besides where you lived and what you did? Will you be known as a person of prayer, of great faith, of obedience to the Lord or will your name be simply an entry in a lineage?
PRAYER: Make my life count, dear God, for you and for my family. I want to be known as one who loved and served You. I pray this in Jesus' name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
