OH THAT GOD WOULD BLESS ME! | 1 Chronicles 4:9–10

It's been said that there was a little difference in people, but that little difference can make a very big difference. I'm going to talk for a few moments about a man who was a little different than those around him, but that little difference made a big difference for him for his people, and it can for you and me too.

I'm looking at the Old Testament book of 1st Chronicles. The name Chronicles tells us that is a book of history, it is a history of key people who stand out in the long story of the nation of Israel, and the first nine chapters of 1st Chronicles, well, we usually just skip over them because they are genealogies so and so begot so and so. And while reading genealogies might put us to sleep, I like the genealogies because they tell us that people are important to God, and then what people do is important to God and is long remembered by God. So, I'm looking at 1st Chronicles Chapter 5, which is the genealogy of the tribe of Judah. It's another long list of names that might make my eyes glaze over, except for the fact that the Holy Spirit pauses at a name in Verses 9 and 10, the Holy Spirit pauses to take note of a man who stands out in his generation for making a difference.
