2 Chronicles 34:21
“Go, inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
Tag: God’s Word can be trusted!
The above verse is taken from the words of young King Josiah. Josiah had started out to simply clean the Temple and reconstruct what was torn down by previous kings. In the process of cleaning he found a copy of the “LAW.” It would be imagined it would be the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament. Upon reading the scroll what happened?
2 Chronicles 34:19
And when the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes.
King Josiah saw that the Word of God was powerful and was to be followed at all cost. His early reforms were fueled by more revelation of God’s Word. The reading of God’s Word should always fuel our desire to seek more of God and to impact the world around us for God. God’s Word is NOT to be sturdier as a text book, it is to study us and revel in us and to us the character and the plans of God. It ought to humble us. It will never disappoint us. Note what Paul wrote to the Christians at Rome:
Romans 10:11
For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Other versions read, “Everyone who believes will not be disappointed.” God’s Word will never let us done. I am actually writing this on the October 31, 2017. This is the 500 year of the Reformation when another young man, Martin Luther, read God’s Word and moved forward with what he read. His moving forward with God’s Word sparked a fire in the Catholic Church. God’s Word will NEVER disappoint. When mixed with faith, God does amazing reforms in our lives and in the lives of others.
