Light that illuminates darkness: 1 Chronicles 23 and 24

The ebb and flow within the book of 1 Chronicles really seems sporadicly presented. Why are the events and genealogies laid out the way they are? It seems that the flow of the book of 1 Chronicles covers the history of the Israelites from Adam through the rule of Solomon with emphasis on genealogies and critical events of the nation.

The Levites who where set aside for service to God are transitioned from service in the Tabernacle to service in the Temple in 1 Chronicles 23 and 24. What was it like for the men who served within the Tabernacle to enter the Temple of the Lord for the first time?

Passion is a strong barely controllable emotion which is what am experiencing right now. I may be doing things like writing this blog post, listening to music, or reading a book later but my mind in not dwelling in these activities. My soul is crying out to God for help! I know God is faithful and will answer my prayer in His perfect way. What an awesome form of worship this is! I have many times taken prayer too lightly but not right now. Continue Reading…

Emotions affect me but they do not reign over me

Photo 59Emotions are a pain. I feel like crap right now. FYI: The sky is blue. Please be praying for my grandma. She is in the hospital and not doing very well. Praise the Lord that she knows Christ as her savior. So yeah, that is life while your dealing with the side effects of medicines, down and depressing. Fun Fun Tomorrow I’ll be fine, it’s just sucks now.
