“Then the king called together all the elders
of Judah and Jerusalem. He went up to the temple of the Lord with the
people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets—all
the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the
words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the Lord. The king stood by the pillar and renewed
the covenant in the presence of the Lord—to follow
the Lord and keep His commands, statutes and decrees with all his heart and
all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book.
Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.”
– 2 Kings 23:1-3
What a
glorious reign was King Josiah’s in the history of Your people! Make me like
him. Give me a heart whole devoted to You, and a passion to share Your Word with
others.
