Bible Reading Challenge Week 22 Day 2

Our reading challenge for the day is 1 Chronicles 10-14. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?

The passage of time slows down considerably here with an account of Saul’s death. Notice the author of Chronicles tends to assess guilt, saying that Saul died because of his unfaithfulness. The author goes on to talk about all the mighty men and how they do their deeds because God is with them. The author is also concerned with the false gods of the people in the area.

What interest do we take in God’s priorities and those of the people around us? Do we look to the Lord as the ultimate hope of all? Do we see that he is engaged in all our acts of valor and all the acts which bring shame?
