Falling on Deaf Ears
We are reading through the Bible in our home-school this year. I'm using the New King James version.
We are now in Job, and it's very appropriate for the state we find our family in with illness right now. God's perfect timing.
We completed the Kings and Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, and ALL the lists of names in those books.
Yes, I read them all. Out loud.
Are you snorting?
What good could reading all those old names to my 11 year old and 15 year old do?
Well, I'm not sure, but we did it, and it was a blessing. It was soothing to our spirits, and it was binding. It was God's word, and it showed us that each person matters.
Even obscure funny sounding names matter.
The Word of God is sharper than a two edged sword.
12 For
the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged
sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and
marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Even the lists.
READ THE WORD!
