It amazes me how accurate and how many of the records of the genealogies were kept and existed for so long. All of Israel was listed in the book of Kings. The people of Judah were taken into Babylonian captivity because of their unfaithfulness. The people who were returning from captivity would look at these lists and to remind them and to help them worship once again. v 10-13 speaks of the priests and their families and 14-34 speaks to the families of the Levites, the gatekeepers and their duties, the musicians as they lived in Jerusalem. Of note, Phineas, son of Eleazar was in charge of the gatekeepers and the Lord was with him. The delineation of tasks of the gatekeepers was interesting but there was clearly a delineation of duties that was spelt out.
Good day overall but still the BP has been an issue. Praying for that. I want to volunteer at the Sunday Breakfast Mission during the week but with my new schedule of rotating late nights, that may be difficult - we'll see. Worked on the FW lesson for Friday - patience, should be an interesting one since in my older state of life I still try to attain it. Must be my NYC mentality.
Praise for today: I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. Ps. 140:12
