A
reminder for today
Never
before had there been a king like Josiah, who turned to the LORD with all his
heart and soul and strength, obeying all the laws of Moses. And there has never
been a king like him since. (2 Kings 23:25)
It is Monday again. The weeks seem to end so quickly and
time seems to be getting faster. I must be imagining it but my days also seem
shorter. I don’t know what things are like with you, my dear friend, but I do
know we should use our time responsibly. Josiah was the first king after a few
that did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight. Those before him worshipped
idols and did terrible things that caused the Lord’s anger to flare up against
His people. Josiah restored the temple and destroyed all the pagan shrines and
made the people follow the laws of the Lord as it was written. Josiah did so
much good that there were no other that could compare to him and he turned to
the Lord with all his heart and soul.
My dear friend, I want to start this week on the right
foot. Just like Josiah I want to turn to the Lord with all my heart and all my
strength and all my soul. Let us invite the Lord into our lives today so that
He can help us clear away all the bad and restore our “temples” so that we can
be new again. Let the Lord fill you with His Holy Spirit and let Him clear away
all that hampers us so that there will be nothing that keeps us away from Him
and blocks His voice. Let us rebuild, renew and start fresh focussing all of
hearts and soul on the Lord. Let us be followers of the Lord like there have
never been before in our time.
Jesus
replied, "'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your
soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A
second is equally important: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' The entire
law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two
commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40)
Come my friend and let us make these words our very own
in this week as we give our hearts completely to the Lord.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
