A Beacon of Light

2 Kings 21-25

A little child shall lead them... and Josiah was 8 years old when he succeeded his father to the throne of Judah. But he did not follow his father's or grandfather's ways. Josiah did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord. It began with an attitude of righteousness, but when the High Priest discovered the Book of the Law that had been missing for generations, Josiah followed his initial righteousness with humility and holiness. He acknowledged the kingdom's sin and methodically went about ridding the kingdom of foreign gods. Josiah was a beacon of light in the midst of a desert of evil. WIll we join in with evil or stand against it.
