was reading Ezra today, and when i got up to chapter 2, it when on and on about the different amount of children or offsprings there were left that were returning back home from captivity. So it pretty much was just a whole long list of people's names and how many children they had(ranging in the thousands). As i was going down the list, i was thinking to myself and just asking God what was there to actually learn from this list?Then God reminded me of something, He said that this book wasn't just a story book about others, but rather a book directed at us. He told me to put my name in the verses instead of reading the names of others.. An example would be: the children of Parosh(change to lawrence), two thousand one hundred and seventy-two. And then it sorta made sense! In this lifetime, how many children(disciples) am i gonna make or have? Reminded me of our g12 vision, where 1 becomes 12, which becomes 144, and then 1728! When we go up into heaven, God is gonna make us accountable and ask us how many disciples we have made in His name. So we have to be good stewards of our talents and make the most of what little time we have left.
