Not only will your child be unable to pronounce or spell his name, you won\u2019t be able to either. Ezra 2 serves us up a list of tongue-twisters. Genealogies and lists of names such as these are often joked about today as being too tedious to read. Some would even admit to as much without a joking tone. We often compare lists of names, particularly in the Old Testament, to that of sitting down and reading through a phonebook. Or to others, these lists of names are akin to staring at endless mathematical equations. Still to others, these lists might as well be ancient Hebrew (oh, wait\u2026).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But of course the various lists of names throughout the Bible are far from meaningless. In fact, as mathematical equations do, they have great importance. Reasons why these lists of names are important abound. If we believe that all Scripture is profitable, that must apply to lists of names as well. I will not get into the many reasons lists are important here, except for one Bible reading principle that we can glean from such lists. Try reading Ezra 2v43-54 five times fast. Can\u2019t do it, can you? The names of the Old Testament require us to slow down, if we are to read them. Thus the names of the Old Testament teach us to read our Bibles slowly and carefully. This is a wise principle we could use more of in 2017. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Many of us speed-read through our Bibles like Roadrunner trying to meet those Bible reading goals we\u2019ve set. Believe me, I\u2019m all for Bible reading goals and reading lots of Scripture each day. But unfortunately, if we haven\u2019t dedicated ourselves to reading our Bibles slowly and carefully, the dust from our speed-reading covers up precious diamonds and nuggets of gold. Let us learn to walk through Scripture, maintaining awareness to our surroundings as we go. Let us sometimes even stop and gaze; or stoop to marvel at a flower along the way. If we learn this principle, we will gain much more from our Bible reading this year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe temple servants; the sons of Ziha, the sons Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon, the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hagab, the sons of Shamlai, the sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":685,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[205,678,698,699,1019,1105],"class_list":{"0":"post-1225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-gospel","7":"tag-bible","8":"tag-jenkins","9":"tag-josh","10":"tag-joshua","11":"tag-reading","12":"tag-scripture","13":"entry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":418,"url":"https:\/\/themajestysmen.com\/joshuajenkins\/sons-through-the-son\/","url_meta":{"origin":1225,"position":0},"title":"Sons, Through the Son","author":"Joshua Jenkins","date":"April 2, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"\"In love [5] He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will.\" + Ephesians 1:5 Christian, God is not angry with you.
