1 Chronicles 5: The Tribes East of the Jordan — Sin, Struggle, & God’s Sovereignty

Series: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave


Show Summary

Today we turn east of the Jordan River to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. Reuben forfeits his birthright because of sin; the tribes win battles when they trust the Lord; and, tragically, idolatry leads to exile. This chapter reminds us that sin has consequences, victory comes through faith in God, and the Lord is sovereign over blessing, battle, and discipline. In Christ—the true Firstborn who never sinned—our inheritance is secure.

Conclusion

Thanks for joining me today on Reading the Bible Daily with Dave. In 1 Chronicles 5 we saw how sin brings loss, faith brings victory, and God reigns over all. Tomorrow in 1 Chronicles 6, we’ll explore the Levites and how the priesthood points us to Christ, our Great High Priest.
