Day 246: Chronological Bible in One Year Devotion From 1 Chronicles 8:29–40; 1 Chronicles 9:1; Daniel 4; Ezekiel 40:1–37:
The genealogies in 1 Chronicles remind us that God never forgets His people, even when they are scattered or disciplined. Every name is a testament that His covenant is unbroken. Though Israel faced exile, God still kept record of His chosen ones.
Daniel 4 tells us the humbling story of King Nebuchadnezzar. Though mighty in power, his pride led to his downfall until he recognized that heaven rules. His restoration came only when he looked up to God. This lesson is timeless: human strength is fragile, but God’s sovereignty is eternal.
In Ezekiel 40, the prophet is given a vision of the restored temple. It is a glimpse of God’s perfect order and His dwelling among His people. Even in exile, God was showing them hope of a new beginning.
The message is clear: God restores the broken, humbles the proud, and prepares a future filled with His presence. When we turn our eyes to Him, He rebuilds not just our lives but also His dwelling within us.
Prayer: Lord, I acknowledge that You alone reign forever. Forgive my pride and restore me where I have fallen short. Let me always lift my eyes to You, trusting in Your power to renew, rebuild, and restore my life. Establish Your presence in me daily, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
