Books of the Bible : 1 Chronicles

This book focuses on faith through its detailed account of Israel’s history and God's promises. It starts with genealogies that remind us of God’s faithfulness throughout generations, demonstrating His covenant with His people. Though it may seem like a historical record at first glance, it highlights how God never forgets His promises to those who trust Him.

The story of King David is central to 1 Chronicles. Despite his imperfections, David’s faith and desire to honour God with the building of the Temple are evident. His reliance on God's guidance, even in moments of weakness, encourages us to trust Him.

In 1 Chronicles, we are reminded that faith is not just about individual moments but about walking consistently with God. “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you” (1 Chronicles 28:20, NLT). A great verse.
