Our reading challenge for the day is 1 Chronicles 20-24. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
1 Chronicles 20 - We seldom think of Goliath as having relatives. But we see there is a group of warriors rather like him, apparently with some genetic abnormality. People are people, just different from one another.
1 Chronicles 21 - David’s census of Israel is evil before God because it implies the security of the people is based on their numbers, not their Lord. See how the folly of the leader has results among the people.
1 Chronicles 22 - David is not to build a temple for God but he makes every effort to smooth the way for it. May we all have many ways to set the stage for works that honor our Lord.
1 Chronicles 23-24 - The mighty army of those who have special service before God as priests and Levites are rightly numbered. See again how the author is specially interested in religious rather than political life.
