Bible Reading: 2nd Chronicles 21-24 The prophet Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, spoke in the Spirit of God. This cost him his life as the people had him stoned to death (24:21)! He is probably one of those mentioned at the latter part of Hebrews 11. He was a man who, by faith, [...]

Bible Reading: 2nd Chronicles 18-20 The story of the death of Ahab is a very exciting story, albeit certainly not the main focus of these chapters. Ahab dies a non-glorious death. He was wicked, and died unnoticed. He did not die after some epic battle, but was shot by an unknown man who did not [...]

Bible Reading: 2nd Chronicles 13-17 Perhaps one of the greatest truths in all of the books of the Chronicles is found in chapter 16. King Asa was a man who walked with the LORD. King Asa had the high places torn down, and promoted worship of the One, True God. King Asa had a great [...]

Bible Reading: 2nd Chronicles 9-12 A question comes to mind of man’s choice verses God’s sovereignty here in the life of Rehoboam. Rehoboam heard the advice from the older men concerning the people of Israel’s request of “lightening their load”, but forsook it and took the advice of the younger men to increase the people’s [...]

Bible Reading: 2nd Chronicles 6-8 Solomon dedicates the temple to the LORD and speaks with God and God then speaks with Solomon. What is interesting to me is that God tells Solomon that if He will bless Solomon as long as Solomon continues to walk with Him! But then God says in 7:19-20, “But if [...]

Bible Reading: 2nd Chronicles 2-5 Solomon has the temple built. Detail is given as to the different things that went on. God gave Solomon a task and then gave Solomon a man who could fulfill that task. I do find it interesting that in 5:10, the Bible tells us, “There was nothing in the ark [...]

Bible Reading: 1st Chronicles 28-29, 2nd Chronicles 1 David wanted to build the temple for God, but God made clear that he could not because of all the blood he shed. So David did almost everything but build the temple itself. David got gold, silver, and all kinds of things. David even gets the Levites [...]

Bible Reading: 1st Chronicles 24-27 Today’s Bible reading is some hard reading. These chapters cover different lists of people of the Levites. I know it is in here for a reason, but it was hard for me to get much of anything out of it. I do believe God has a purpose for it. Lord, [...]

Bible Reading: 1st Chronicles 20-23 The numbering of Israel by David has always been an unclear to me. I am not exactly clear as to why it was a sin, although I do understand that it was! It cost Israel a lot! David was given three options as to “punishment” for his decision to number [...]

Bible Reading: 1st Chronicles 15-19 Much of these things are found, at least in part, in 1st and 2nd Samuel. Whenever I get to this passage, I am reminded of the dangers of assumption. David meant something good when he sent men to comfort a mourning young King, but after receiving counsel from his peers, [...]
