1 Chron. 25 -
I find it interesting that in verse 1 of 1 Chronicles 25 the specific Levites/Priests who were to worship with music before the Lord at the Temple were said to be "set apart...for the ministry of prophesying".…

1 Chron. 22:5-10 - "Is that Really What God Said?"
I find it interesting how different David's version of God's message to him is here in these verses compared to those back in 1 Chron. 17. When we hear the first report of this message from God to David,…

1 Chron. 17:11-13 "I will establish his throne forever"
I just love this promise from God. First, He is making a promise to David, His chosen king for Israel in that moment, that one of his own sons will succeed him. But second, God is also making a promise…

1 Chron. 16:30-33 - "Tremble before him, all the earth!"
What an ironic statement. Basically, let all the earth tremble before God even though everyone knows it can't be moved. In other words, we humans know that the earth can't really be moved by our own will,…

This verse declares that there are 4 things that are in the presence of God: majesty, splender, joy and strength. And the best part is that we are called to come into his presence before Him to "ascribe"…

All idols in the Old Testament were location specific, but not so with the God of the Bible. He is greater. This verse declares that He is the God of the heavens. He made them! While all the other so…

1 Chron. 16:14 - His Judgments are in All the Earth
All the nations around Israel in the days of Chronicles had their own gods. The people in that day were a lot like us in that they were "inclusive" in their religious beliefs. In that day, different god's…
