August 5, Day 217

Today's Reading

Josiah, unlike so many of the kings, was fully devoted to the Lord. Joash, the previous "boy king" was devoted only as long as the High Priest held him to it. Josiah was far more devoted that many of the religious leaders around him.


As you read today about the various altars and idols Josiah had destroyed, consider just how pagan God's people had become. It's sobering when you consider our own nation and many who call the name of Christ, but are far from Him. May God break our hearts and bring us to repentance!
