Glorify God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“His sister’s name was Maakah. Another descendant was named Zelophehad, who had only daughters. Makir’s wife Maakah gave birth to a son and named him Peresh. His brother was named Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rakem.”
(1 Chronicles 7:15-16)

Back then it was all about the boys, wasn’t it, Jesus?

But why?

Physically, they were able to do more work.
They could strap on their swords and fight their enemies.

But in today’s world

women are increasingly crucial
to the advancement of Your kingdom!

See if you can keep track of this Lazaroo!

“Makir took a wife from among the Huppites and Shuppites.”
(1 Chronicles 7:15)

It’s fascinating to trace the ancestry of these people, Jesus!

Jacob and Rachel had two sons: Joseph and Benjamin.

Rachel died while giving birth to Benjamin
who was an ancestor of the Huppites and Shuppites.

Makir was the grandson of Benjamin’s other brother Joseph.

So when Makir chose a Huppite-Shuppite girl
he was marrying a many-times-removed cousin!

If that matters to You…

it matters to me.

Pray this Lazaroo in abject gratitude:

“The descendants of Manasseh: Asriel was his descendant through his Aramean concubine. She gave birth to Makir the father of Gilead.
(1 Chronicles 7:14)

It would have been nice if Asriel had been born to a Jewish woman, Jesus

rather than an Aramean.

It would have been nice if she had been a wife, rather than a concubine.

But you didn’t discard their entire line!
You turned them into captains and great fighters.

Thank You for Your amazing, forgiving mercy!
