II Kings 22; II Chron 34: John 6

Doing What‘s Right - II Chronicles 34

“When Josiah was 16 years old, he began to seek the God of his father David.” II Chronicles 34:3
Josiah was only eight years old when he became king over Jerusalem. His father Amon had done evil in the sight of the Lord and had been assassinated after only reigning two years. Even with this terrible legacy, king Josiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. This powerful story gives us great insight to some very important principles that we can apply in our daily living:

• “He sought after the Lord” – Valuing and keeping our relationship with God as the highest priority in our busy lives.
• “He purged idols from the land” – Recognize and remove those things that have taken a position of significance above the Lord.
• “He humbled himself and cried out to the Lord” – Admit and cry out that we are desperately in need of the Lord’s help.
• “God heard him” – Hold on to the truth that our Lord hears the cries of His children and the restoration has begun.

“… and all who were present in Israel serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived, they did not fail to follow the Lord, the God of their fathers.” II Chronicles 34:35
