There’s a subtle shift that can happen in our prayers
So quiet we don’t even notice it.
Until God begins to deal with the heart.

Today, on International Women’s Day, the theme is “Give to Gain.”
But the Kingdom of God has always worked this way.
In God’s economy, gain rarely comes through holding tighter.
More often, it comes through opening the hand.
Long before the kings of Israel,
before the psalms of David filled the air,
before the temple stood in Jerusalem,
there were names.
Pages and pages of them.
Fathers and sons.
Generations marching quietly through history.
The Book of 1 Chronicles records them carefully, like beads threaded together on a long string of memory.
At first glance it feels repetitive.
