At just the age of 8, Josiah was crowned King of Judah and from an early age, he began to seek the Lord. It is recorded for us in the scriptures that he did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord not turning aside from the right or to the left. The story of his reign is truly inspiring which leads to the restoration of the temple of God and revival across the land of Judah.
As a Christian, I would long to see revival break out across our nation and see people turning to God for salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. All things are possible with God, the same God who brought revival under King Josiah’s reign can work to revive our country today. If we desire to have the same character as Josiah anything is possible under God’s hand.
The history of the Kings of Judah is a fascinating study. Those who began to seek the Lord during their reign prospered but those who sought their own interests shortly perished.
Josiah was used by the Lord mightily to restore the house of God and bring the people of Israel back to God. May we be people like Josiah so that the Lord can use us for his glory and blessing. If we give way to God and let him guide our footsteps he can do something great in our nation again. Revival only comes when God is at work. Seek Him today.
Ephesians 3:20-21
“But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us, to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen).”
