Today we are reading 2 Kings 23. In this chapter we read about Josiah’s reforms. “And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and with him all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the prophets, all the people, both small and great. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the Lord. And the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people joined in the covenant. Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.” 2 Kings 23:2-3, 25 ESV What a joy to have a leader who is zealous for God! Josiah gathered the nation and had the Book of the Law read to them. Imagine if our nation did that today! A national day where everyone gathers and hears the Bible read. Josiah destroyed the centers of pagan worship and re-established the Passover. He was a powerful leader and I am sure that the godless and immoral people opposed him. May God give us leaders like Josiah! Pastor Tim
