TIME TO STUDY GOD’S WORD
God wants everyone to know His word.
There was a time when the scripture was Lost. 2 Chronicles 34:14-18
An 8 year old boy had become King. Some wicked men had killed his father. The boy’s name was Josiah. When he became King, the whole country was wicked and evil. Hey worshipped false gods, including Balaam. God’s house, the Temple was not used and nobody knew where the Scripture was.
Josiah was different from his people. He believed in God. As he grew older he ordered his people to quit worshipping false gods. He ordered them to clean and fix God’s house, the Temple. They were to bring their offerings and the priests were to collect it and pay the men who fixed up the Temple. And while this was going on, HILKIAH a priest found the Scripture…It was the word of God, (The Pentateuch, 1st 5 books of the Bible).
HILKIAH was very excited and took it to the King. Oh, the King was happy.
Now he could find out more about the Lord God. So, the King ordered the book to be read out loud, for the people.
The book told about God’s Love…
It told about a coming Saviour…
It told about God’s Laws ….
It told about how sinful man is….
It told about how God must punish sin …..
The King was very sad, for he found out how evil his people were ant that they must be punished for their sin … He was very sad, even rent his clothing.
God want us to know his word. His word helps keep us from sinning and tells us about God’s forgiveness. Then we don’t have to be sad or punished.
King Josiah decided then to obey God’s word, keep His Law. God sent a message to the King thru a prophetess who said that all the days of the King’s life, God would not sent the punishments upon Israel.
Only when we know God’s word and obey it can we be truly happy.
