Theme: Daily Scripture
“And they were numbered by the families, heads of their kindreds, most valiant men for war, twenty thousand and two hundred.”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is 1 Chronicles 7:9: “And they were numbered by the families, heads of their kindreds, most valiant men for war, twenty thousand and two hundred.”
Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth. 1 Chronicles is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church.
Today's invitation under the theme of Daily Scripture is simple and serious. Before the day runs away, sit with this verse for two quiet minutes. Say it slowly. Notice which word stays warm in the heart, and carry that word into one conversation.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for speaking through 1 Chronicles 7:9. You said, “And they were numbered by the families, heads of their kindreds, most valiant men…” I do not want to rush past these words. Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
