Some thoughts I've had over the last day or two that will be developed into full blogs soon. Just thought I'd post them for your consideration now.

1 Chronicles 30:19-20 - Hezekiah prayed for the people who were trying to obey God, but had not every detail of the preparation for the Passover. (Passover had not been celebrated in Israel for generations, so it wasn't common knowledge how they should prepare themselves to be ceremonially clean). God listened to Hezekiah's prayer and healed the people!

1 Chronicles 34:26-28, 35:20-27, 36:1-23 - What would have happened if Josiah had not gone to war with Neco? God said Josiah would die in peace, but he died at age 39 in a battle he was probably not supposed to be in. The rest of the kings of Israel were worthless and evil. Josiah could have easily lived another 22 years and Israel could have enjoyed two more decades of godly leadership.
