**1 Chronicles 4:5** — *"Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah."*
A single line. Two names. A household held in the genealogical record of God's people.
Tekoa would later become the hometown of Amos the prophet — a shepherd called to speak hard truth to power. But before that legacy, there was simply a father, two women, and a family woven into covenant history.
Scripture does not overlook the ordinary household. Helah and Naarah are named — not footnoted, not forgotten. Their presence in the lineage of Judah testifies that God's redemptive story moves through *specific* people in *specific* homes.
As Psalm 139:16 reminds us: *"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."*
Your household — its struggles, its seasons, its quiet faithfulness — is not invisible to the Shepherd who keeps the record.
Walk with that assurance today.
