To Be Like Josiah

Scripture 2 Kings 23:25 Now before him there was no king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did any arise like him.

Observation: I want more than anything to be called the one that turned to the Lord with all of my heart, soul and might. I want to do that but I seem to get in my way. The time God has blessed me with is spent more on my desires than God’s. My time should be God’s and all that I have including my heart and soul is His. There was no man like Mark, who turned to the Lord with all of his heart, soul and might, nor after him did any arise like him. I wish that was so, I need to do the best each day to reach this goal whether I make it or not I must try.

Application: God needs to be in my thoughts and actions. I need to die to myself and live for God. It is so hard to do, but if I ask God and stay close to Him I know that is what He would want from me. Tonight I have an opportunity to have God be pleased with me, it’s the weekly Heaven study, which seems to be a blessing to so many, but most of all to me that God can use this sinner for good. There are things coming up where I can honor God and I need to put my desires aside and place my Lord’s desire first.

Prayer: Dear God it’s me once again. I realize each day that I can’t do what I should be doing for you without your help and guidance so I’m asking again for your strength to serve you better. Help me Lord please you and be that man I so desire to be to follow you with all of my heart, soul and might. I love you may I honor and glorify your name.
