Day 123: February 6, 2026 – I Chronicles 1-5 and Psalm 26

Here we go! So we begin that part of the Bible where if you were reading right through it, then this section becomes quite of a slog because of the names. But I don’t actually mind the genealogies. It reminds me of who went before and the order of things. It is good to be reminded of the ancestors of Abraham, and that after him came Isaac with Ishmael and who came through Ishmael, even though we don’t trace our faith lineage through him. I do hope that you are aware that those who follow Islam trace their religious heritage through Ishmael and not through Isaac. It does us good to see from whence we come, even though it can be understood as a bit of a slog. Don’t get bogged down, enjoy the names and pay attention when you recognize a name and see who surrounds it.
