One of the struggles God’s people have always had was getting distracted from God’s best and settling or focusing on other things. Sometimes this is intentional, but many times it’s simply getting distracted and letting our priorities slip.

And today we continue to need God’s Word to keep us from doing the same thing.

It may not be surprising to us to see women named in Jesus’ genealogy, but in a time when women had no rights, it was startling! But this wasn’t the only thing that would seem to disqualify them, as we’ll see today. And yet, God used them, and it shows us that God uses unlikely, even damaged people, to do His work, both in biblical times, but also today, too!
