Reading through the many listings of family connections and history recorded in 1 Chronicles can really get a person thinking, “Where do I fit in the big scope of things? What effect will I have on those who will come after me? Where does the Shan Dai nation fit into God’s plan? What good can they pass on to the generations yet to come?” We would all do well to first heed and then pass on King David’s advice as a loving father to the next king: “And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, He will reject you forever” (1 Chronicles 28:9). What an awesome legacy to bestow upon our families. But, like most things, you must have ownership of them before you can bequeath them to those you love. Father God, may our knowledge of You be more than what is in our head. We seek You and pray for the Shan Dai to seek You and live with wholehearted devotion. You are great, Lord, and most worthy of praise and there is nothing better we can pass on to our children than You. You know our plans; our very thoughts are plain before You. May we worship You alone. Let the Shan Dai nation say, “The Lord reigns!”
