1:1-54
Sometimes, Lord, we read, in your Word, things that make us wonder, "What's this all about?"
What are You saying to us in the parts of the Bible that don't jump out at us?
We ask, "Do we really need to read a long list of names?"
You say to us, "All of these people were important to Me.
I loved every one of them.
You are important to me.
I love you," Thank You, Lord, for Your love.
You know each one of us by name.
You never forget us.
You always remember us.
You remember us - because you love us.
2:1-55
Thank You, Lord, for giving us our own name.
It makes us feel special - "I'm me.
I'm not somebody else."
We thank You, even more, giving us the Name of Jesus.
His Name is the Name of our salvation.
Among all the many names of people, from all over the world, there's one Name that stands out.
It's the Name of Jesus.
Why is Jesus so special?
It's because He's Your Son - and He's our Saviour.
3:1-4:23
"Jabez called upon the God of Israel, 'Oh that You would bless me ...' And God granted his request" (1 Chronicles 4:10).
Help us, Lord, when we ask for Your blessing, to pray for your mercy - "Have mercy on me, O God, a sinner" (Luke 18:13).
Help us to make Your blessing the most important thing in our life.
What's the point of having plenty of friends, if we fall out with You? "Oh that you would bless me" - May this be our heartfelt prayer.
4:24-5:26
Lord, You want to lead us in the way of victory (1 Chronicles 5:22).
You don't want us to be disobedient and defeated.
You want us to be obedient and victorious.
Why do we draw back from the kind of commitment that will bring blessing into our lives?
Do we think You're going to 'lead us up the garden path?' Do we think You're 'taking us on a wild goose chase?' Do we think that You're going to take us so far along Your way, and, then, leave us to go it alone?
Teach us, Lord, that Your way is better than the world's way.
Show us that you're always with us, supporting us and giving us the strength that we need to keep on walking in Your way.
6:1-60
Lord, we often forget names.
You never forget our names.
You forget our sins - but you never forget us.
You forget our sins - how great Your forgiveness is!
You never forget us - How great Your love is!
What can we say about Your love and Your forgiveness?
All we can say is this: "Thank You, Lord."
6:61-7:40
In Your Word, Lord, we read about "a city of refuge" (1 Chronicles 6:67).
We take refuge in You, Lord.
You are "our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
Refuge, strength and help - What great blessings You give to us!
Where do we find these blessings?
- we find them all in Christ.
When "evil" threatens to overwhelm us (1 Chronicles 7:23), we run to Jesus, we are strengthened by Him, and we receive help from Him. what are we to do when You bless us so much?
- we are to give all the glory to You.
Without You, lord, we "can do nothing" (John 15:5).
With You, we can "do all things" - because you give us the strength that we need.
8:1-40
Lord, some of the names, in Your Word, make us think about ourselves: What kind of people are we?
What kind of people are we becoming?
"Esh-Baal" (1 Chronicles 8:33) means "man of Baal" or "man of shame."
"Merib-Baal" started off as "opponent of Baal", then it became "loved by Baal" or "my Lord is Baal."
We wonder, Lord, how does Baal, the god worshipped by the Canaanites, get among Your people?
The answer is not hard to find.
We let him in.
We give him the chance to wreck our lives.
Forgive us, Lord.
We have taken our eyes off Jesus.
Help us not to be "double-minded" )James 1:8) - trying to listen to both You and Satan at the same time.
Help us to be single-minded in our devotion to Jesus (Matthew 6:22).
9:1-44
Lord, You speak to us about "very able men", who were called to do "the work of the service of the house of God" (1 Chronicles 9:13).
Some have been called to preach Your Gospel and teach Your Word.
All of us have been called to serve You.
We may not preach or teach - but there will be something for us to do.
Some were "chosen to be gatekeepers."
Some were "assigned to take care of the furnishings ..." Some were "entrusted with the responsibility for baking."
Some were "singers or musicians" (1 Chronicles 9:22,29,31,33).
Lord, You have something for all of us.
As we do Your work, help us to hear Your Spirit saying to us, "'Tis a task the Master just for you has planned ... There's a work for Jesus none but you can do."
10:1-11:19
Saul "was unfaithful to the Lord."
Help us, Lord, not to become like Saul who "did not keep the command of the Lord ... and did not seek guidance from the Lord" (1 Chronicles 10:13-14).
Saul had started well.
At the beginning, everything had looked so promising.
What went wrong?
Lord, we think about Saul - and we think about ourselves.
It happened to Saul.
It can happen to us.
Drifting away from You happens when we start to lose interest in worshipping You, reading Your Word and speaking to You.
Everything falls apart.
We become like Saul - a shadow of what we once were.
we wonder, "Can things be turned around?"
Yes!
Your Word is alive.
Your Spirit is alive.
Renew in us the life that comes from Your Word and Your Spirit.
11:20-12:7
We read, Lord, of "the mighty men of the armies", "the mighty men who helped ... in war" (1 Chronicles 11:26; 1 Chronicles 12:1).
Lord, You're teaching us about spiritual warfare - "We are not carrying on a worldly war ... the weapons of our warfare are not worldly ... the weapons of our warfare ... have divine power to destroy strongholds."
You're calling us to "take every thought captive to obey Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
Lord, help us to become "mighty" for You - "mighty" in Your strength, "mighty" in Your victory.
12:8-13:14
"The kingdom of Saul was turned over to David according to the Word of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 12:23).
Lord, You're calling us to be spiritual leaders - "let us bring again the ark of our God" (1 Chronicles 13:7).
We're to call the people to return to You and rejoice in You (1 Chronicles 13:4,8).
We're to warn the people that failure to do Your will leads to the withdrawal of Your blessing (1 Chronicles 13:9-10).
Where Your Word is honoured and given its rightful place, there will be blessing among Your people (1 Chronicles 13:14).
Help us, Lord, to be faithful in hearing Your Word and doing Your Word.
This is the way of obedience and blessing (James 1:22,25).
14:1-15:15
It was You, Lord, who "established David king over Israel" (1 Chronicles 14:2).
Help us to be like David.
He "inquired of You" (1 Chronicles 14:10,14).
He "did as You commanded him" (1 Chronicles 14:16).
