Ist Chronicles

The focus here is on the line of David, the line which the Messiah would come. By highlighting David’s triumphs, the Author, thought to be Ezra, gave the exiles a blueprint of sorts for how to rebuild the nation. The Israelites needed a renewal of hope at this time in their history.

The record offers a history of Israel from the time of Saul’s death to the return of the Jews from captivity to Jerusalem under the rule of Cyrus. It gives an account of David’s forty-year reign.

Only the very youngest of those taken captive to Babylon might have still been living Seventy years later. They headed for a home in Jerusalem that they really hadn’t known. The Chronicles were written to explain to the exiles that they were still God’s people. Jerusalem was still the city of God where the temple of God will be rebuilt.

Every morning when we wake up, it is a fresh opportunity to begin life a new. We must consciously chose to give the Lord and our relationship with Him first priority. With our course set, we will experience greater confidence, a strong sense of purpose and a lot more joy.
