Welcome to my thoughts concerning my daily devotions. I hope something that I receive from the Word may, in turn, be somewhat of a blessing to you also. May the Lord bless you this and every day as you love and serve Him.

Lessons Learned from the Chronicles:
1Ch 26:1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
1Ch 26:2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
1Ch 26:3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
1. God is a God of order (thus the name, "Chronicles"). Everything and everyone in its place. Not only does He have the hairs of our head numbered, not only does He know when every sparrow falls, but He knows everyone by name, past, present and future.
2. Everyone matters, everyone has a job to do. Priests, porters, singers, praisers, etc.
3. There are two ways of doing things, the wrong way and God's way. God's way is always the best way.
4. Though the books can be tedious, they teach us pronunciation and enunciation.
5. The Chronicles are invaluable to the Jews for geneology.
6. They are just as inspired as the gospels, though not always as inspiring.
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
