We have begun the book of 1 Chronicles, and true to it's name, it is mostly geneaologies of the tribes of Israel. Amazing to me is how far back they can trace their heirtage. That is how important is was for them. I can go back about 3 generations in my family. In 1 Chron 4:9-10 is the Jabez passage. Bruce Wilkinson wrote his famous Prayer of Jabez book from that passage. It does stick out and is full of richness. Have you asked God for enlargement of territory and protection? Enlarging of territory is to give us more opportunity, not more stuff.
1 Chron ch 1-9 are a history of a special people. Leave your legacy with your kids, you might one day be the noted patriarch that changed the direction of your family!
