Nov. 15, 2007 - "One just sort of tunes out the boring bits..." (from "Yes, Prime Minister")
I started reading in 1 Chronicles this morning. Begats from Adam!! As I was reading and thinking about the people God had included in these lineages and those He had omitted, I started thinking about how much God is interested (and involved) in the little things, things we think of as insignificant. We tend to think we need God's help on all the big things...things that are just beyond our abilities to do anything about. And we do!! But do we take the little things to Him with the same vigor and passion? Or do we just try and solve them ourselves without His input or guidance? More than likely, we do that latter.
It was just interesting to read this "boring" bit of scripture and remember, "This was important enough to God that He included it in scripture for MY benefit. What does this show me about Him and His character and His relationship with me?"
Thought I'd share that with you!

I remember once coming to a similar conclusion while reading a list of begats. That God would record down the minute detail... its amazing! (Even if it can get tedious to read.)
By the way, speaking of little details, I have one for you... TAG! YOU'RE IT!
Come to my blog to see the rules of the tag.
