1 Chronicles 9:1b NASB And Judah was carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.

After many chapters of genealogies, I came across this simple statement. I wonder if those that were taken to Babylon saw it this way. Did they recognize that God was using the Babylonians to try and restore Judah’s faithfulness? Or did they see the Babylonians as the ones to blame in this situation.

Whenever I am going through difficult times, I don’t usually see how my circumstances can bring about God’s glory: I’m more likely to see my circumstances as something that God needs to fix!  It’s only after the fact that I can see from God’s perspective how it prepared me and shaped me for the better.
