Since the book of Chronicles focuses on the Temple naturally there would be a section on the Levites. According to the NIV Study Bible:
Verse 1-15 records the line of high priests down to the exile.
Verse 16-30 speak about the clans of Levites.
Verse 31-47 spoke about the Temple Musicians.
Verse 49-53 speaks about the generations between Aaron and Ahimaaz.
Verse 54-81 speaks about the listing of the Levitical possessions among the tribes.

Today's Reading John 6.1-21

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: John 6

John 6 with Commentaries, verse by verse
John 6.1-21

This is the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand as found in In John 6.1-13; Matthew 14.13-21; Mark 6.32-44; Luke 9.10-17. This shows that Jesus supplies all our needs (Philippians 4.19) and this set the stage for his discourse on 'I am the Bread of Life'(John 6.35). He fed the people because of a boy's lunch of five loaves and two fish. God can do amazing things through us IF we have the faith and obedience to be used from Him.

Jesus walked on the water (John 6.16-21; Matthew 14.22-33; Mark 6.47-51). The disciples were in the boat when the storm picked up. Jesus was walking towards them on the water. he said to them, 'do not be afraid.' We need to know that in the storms of life we should keep our eyes upon Jesus and not on the storm. He is the one owho can control the waves and storms of life.
