Scripture says of Josiah:

“Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to the law of Moses nor did any like him arise after him.” (2 Kings 23:25)

But the Bible says Josiah died because:

“He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God.” (2 Chronicles 35:22)

No one’s perfect. Not Josiah. Not you. Not me. We are all prone not to listen to God. No one’s perfect.

Except Jesus.

The Son of God died  listening to and obeying the words of God, his Father. The righteous King gave his life to deliver Josiah and you and me and all who will believe in him from the bondage of sin. He is the only King in whom we may fully trust.

Trust the King today.
