“As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;” – 2 Chronicles 8:7
When I read this verse, I envision a community filled with diverse peoples, each with their own backgrounds and beliefs, standing at the threshold of transformation.
**2 Chronicles 8:7** reflects on the remnants of nations that were not part of Israel, highlighting God’s sovereignty and plan even amid diversity and separation. It serves as a reminder that God can work through various situations and people, often using what seems discarded or overlooked for His purpose. As Christians, we are called to see the value in others, recognizing that everyone has a place in God’s grand narrative.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me to see the worth in everyone around me, regardless of their past or beliefs. May I be a vessel of Your love and acceptance, reaching out to those who feel marginalized. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
