God Wants Me to Do What Is Right
With deepest devotion
2 Kings 23:25
Read the Bible through:
AM - Nehemiah 12-13 : PM - Acts 8:26-40
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 (2 Kings 23:25).

For his total devotion to God, Josiah is nearly always first on Judah's roster of good kings. Verse 25 presents the highest compliment one could receive. He embodied God's greatest commandment - to love God with all one's heart, soul, and might. He was incomparable.
Josiah lived out his devotion. The people followed his example. Under his leadership, idolatry was choked out. Righteousness was restored as the norm for living. Suppose most of today's leaders had the spirit of Josiah. What a difference it would make in contrast to the public's distrust of many leaders.
Devotion to Christ must be thorough. One dictionary meaning of devotion is "the state of being ardently dedicated and loyal.' God desires that kind of deepest devotion.
Master, may my devotion be deep-rooted in You.
