-no King Like Josiah-

Now when King Josiah came to the throne he was no more than eight years old. But little Josiah had much to do as hearts in his kingdom waxed cold. For the peoples' hearts had turned from God with idols in the land you see. Yet Josiah knew this was not right but clearly wrong as wrong could be. So as he came to his sixteenth year, Josiah did that which was right. He tore down the idols throughout the land and found favor within God's sight. Now God's great house had become run down but Josiah had it in mind to restore, to turn the people's hearts back to God and worship Him as did their fathers before. Hidden within the temple was God's word, for so long had it's knowledge been thought lost. As Josiah heard the words which were read, he realized what God's people had lost. So Josiah read the words of the Law to people gathered from across the land. They set their hearts to do that which was right and be humbled under Gods' mighty hand. Now, there was nowhere a king like Josiah nor has there ever been to this day. Let your heart be toward God like Josiahs' and He will keep you in all your ways. Reference: 2 Kings 23:25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that 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; neither after him arose there any like him.
