The Faithfulness of God

By August 8, 2015No Comments

Adam, Sheth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 1 Chronicles 1:1-5 KJV

Have you ever worked on your family tree? I have done some and found it encouraging. It has helped me know my place and how God has dealt graciously with my family. That is what the genealogical tables do for the remnant of Israel as they return from their years of captivity to the burned out remains of Jerusalem. The first three chapters of 1 Chronicles provide the lineage from Adam to the Captivity. Through this listing they would see the grace of God working uniquely with them as His people. Through everything He had been faithful, and as they prepared to step into a new day as His people, He would remain the faithful God He had always been. You and I can still count on His faithfulness today.

Lord, it is encouraging to see Your faithfulness in history. I often wonder what the future holds for me, I’ve concluded that whatever it holds it will include Your faithfulness. As You have been faithful in the past You will continue to be faithful in the future.
