Hi there, readers. I have a question for you and your opinion matters! I would love to get some answers back or just your opinion. My question is, do you fault someone for not knowing some things in life, like being taught the Bible? I was taught the Bible at a young age. And I learned all about the first Chronicles. Some people might know it as 1 Chronicles. It’s about the Jews returning from exile in Babylon. Having felt God’s wrath during their defeat in captivity, they were restored to a new life in Jerusalem. To move forward, they needed to recall all that had come before God’s promises of blessings for obedience and warnings of judgement for disobedience. They needed to recall God’s steadfast love and faithfulness and the dire consequences for not seeking God.

As with ancient Israel, an honest look at our past can prepare us to embrace the future with hope. We can face our failures and determine not to repeat them if we know where we’ve been. We can trace God’s merciful care even in our darkest days or hours.

Whatever your past, the 1 Chronicles offers hope. If the people of Israel had been carried into captivity because of their blatant rejection of God and were not beyond God’s grace, neither are you. God will restore all those who return to him. We just need to return, acknowledging our sins and submit to him as our Lord.

There are a lot of people that don’t know how to talk about themselves without blaming or judging others. Some people have not been taught things in life at a young age such as respect or money management. Please email me at [email protected].
