Have you felt like you are already re-reading the Old Testament? Well, in a way, you are. The Book of Chronicles (now split into 1st and 2nd Chronicles) is the chronicling of the lives of men and women (okay, mostly men as according to the time and culture) as they experience God in their lives. And these are stories we have already read---about people we have already met.
Chronicles always makes me wonder: how will my life story, my experience with God, be told by others? What will be the highlights and the challenges---the pitfalls and the triumphs that others will tell about me? Will my life show my faith in God? Will it show a willingness to trust? Will my life reveal that I love God by loving others?
Our life stories may tell many things----the actions in our lives will reveal our true beliefs and values. What will our life stories tell the world about what we believe?
