Bible Chapter: Genesis 10

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    This is the beginning of chapters I will find in the Old Testament that tell the genealogy of families.  They are different to read in that they are not telling a story, but historical facts.  These chapter also bring a challenge to write something.  After the flood the whole world was limited to eight people.  They were told to replenish the earth, and that is what they did.  The genealogy listed tells who the various nations came from.

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    God cares about the details. While it feels boring to just go through a list of names, we can see how nations developed.  This also helps us understand that all people come from common ancestors (no, not monkeys).  We have different physical characteristics and speak different languages, but we are all made by God in His image and all have value.  The enemy has made some people think they are better than others and some have tried to eliminate others who they thought were inferior.  There are no inferior races or nations.

3.  How can I help someone?
    I want to help people see where we all came from and how we all are important to God.
