I think Josiah is a fine example of childlike faith. It makes me wonder if he was taught their history and said "I want to be a king like David!"
ReplyDeleteThen he just does it to the best of his ability and understanding. His heart is right and as king he cleans house. For ten years he destroyed obvious abominations in the land.
Now ten years into his journey the Father gives him the instructions of righteousness.
I had a very similar moment in my life: Oh Father! I'm so sorry I haven't lived according to all of your Word! I'm determined not to depart from following all of your ways for the rest of my days! Thank you for your loving kindness!
