David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 18th May 2024
No king before Josiah, king of Judah, or after him, was as obedient or faithful. Josiah became king when he was 8 years old. His father and grandfather had been idol-worshiping kings, but Josiah’s 31-year reign was a stark contrast.
When Josiah was 26 years old, he set about to restore the temple in Jerusalem which had fallen into disrepair due to lack of use. During the restoration, the high priest discovered a copy of “the Book of the Law” given through Moses—something Josiah was seemingly unfamiliar with (2 Kings 22:8). When it was read to him, he mourned over how Judah had failed to obey the Lord. He called the people together and renewed the covenant with them after reading them God’s Word. He then undertook a thorough cleansing of Jerusalem and Judah from the vile, pagan, idolatrous practices that had been allowed.
Josiah not only read God’s Word; he put it into practice. Purpose not only to hear the Word but also to do what it says (James 1:23-25).
Beware of reasoning about God’s Word—obey it!
Oswald Chambers
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Ezra 1 – 7
