I had a day where a lot of work was done in the important but not urgent category. I hate to sound sacrilegious but reading genealogies can be the same way. They don't necessarily feel redemptive, yet they are Holy Scripture and they are part of the full counsel of God. So much church work is administrative in our era and it to has that quality of not feeling redemptive.
But remember that the genealogies follow God's chosen people. The people of Israel where the cradle into which the Christ was born and by his blood we are all redeemed. Today's church work was the means by which we cradled the message of the gospel at Royal Redeemer so that it would be heard and would change lives.
Remember when you realized that God had taken hold of your heart. Where you at camp, church, or some function. Did you pray with a co-worker. Some one did the seemingly humdrum work of praying for you, tithing to keep that church open, landscaping at the camp. These are the 1 Chronicles of church life, unsung, misunderstood even, but essential to God's mission, to display his Glory through the sacrifice of his Son.
Sola Christus
