2 Chronicles 34

In 2 Chronicles 34, Josiah takes over as king at the age of 8 years old. He seeks after God and desires the Lord and His ways by 16 and shortly after, he works to restore the Temple of God so the Lord can be worshipped appropriately in the land. In the restoration process, the Word of God is found in the Temple and Josiah is repentant and heartbroken at how far the nation had fallen from God and His ways. He cleanses the land, rids the land of false idols and false gods and revival breaks out. The nation is once again turning to God in sincere worship - heart and soul. The Word of God is alive and powerful. The Word of God changes lives and communities. The Word of God leads us and guides us to all the goodness God wants to pour out in our lives, if we are willing to follow - heart and soul - with all our guts.
