Today: 1 Chronicles 7-8
What will people say about you when you’re no longer with them?
It may sound like a morbid question, but that’s not my intent. We all have people in our lives who we touch for moments—maybe even several years—and then we’re no longer part of their lives. Maybe because we no longer live near them, work with them or attend the same school.
I thought about this question as I read today’s chapters—chapters filled mostly with names. To me at this moment, most of the names are letters filling a screen (for you, they might be letters on an actual page). They are letters that mark lives long forgotten.
But not all of them. Here’s one description that stood out to me today:
These were Asher's sons,
all of them responsible,
excellent in character,
and brave in battle—
good leaders.
Unlike some of the people mentioned in today’s passage (like Joshua or Jonathan), I don’t know much about Asher’s sons. I like what I read, though. This tombstone-like depiction of Asher’s sons describes men with greatness in them. Perhaps most significantly, these were men who left a mark. What will yours be?
