Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sun, Sept. 19, METICULOUS (I Chron. 7:14-16). The record The Jews made is so meticulous. The Jews made a perfect record of the life of the Israelites. We can not be compared to them. Most of us can’t be like them. Why? Because, we don’t like, even by reading it. When we read it, we want to read as fast as possible. If possible, we just skip it. We don’t understand anything at all after reading it. They made a perfect record:
1. The names.
They put all the names completely. No miswritten, although they looked alike. Although the names were so difficult to be written. No left behind. No forgotten names.
2. The orders.
They put the names in order. No reverse. No revise.
3. The connections.
They mentioned the connections clearly. This is the father of who, the husband of who, the sons of who, etc.
4. The actions.
They put the actions which were very important to be remembered. The merits. The achievements. Let’s be more meticulous. ASH.
