-that Place That Should Not Be-(Part 3 of 3)
(As with the young king, I....)
And I knew,
that in like manner as Josiah,
I was going to have to dethrone
from the aforementioned high places,
those abominable idols of mine own making
(such as pride, apathy, procrastination and envy).
These were going to have to be torn down from their high places
so that the One who should rightfully sit
the throne of my heart,
would once again,
take His rightful place
and restoration and renewal
would once again make it's steady and consistent progress
down into the land of my life
during my sojourn here.
Thus,
once again would reign
the Golden Age of uninterrupted Communion with Him
who is
The One True an Only God.
Footnote:
For a backdrop to this allegory and a more clear
understanding of who Josiah was
(my favorite biblical king),
check out 2 Kings 22 and
2 Chronicles 34
