—2 Kings 22:8-13
by: Cheri Appel.
King Josiah served Almighty God like David had, as “a man after God’s own heart.” He revered the Lord and was greatly grieved upon learning Judah had not followed all of God’s Law. Young but wise, Josiah feared God’s wrath for this disobedience and sought counsel. What a great example! Do we love, respect, and fear the Lord so greatly that, when confronted by our own shortcomings and sins, we respond like Josiah? Granted, these might be something we are unaware of, but according to Josiah’s actions, that is not an excuse. We must repent whenever the Holy Spirit educates about of our disobedience to God.
