God Wants Me to Do What Is Right
In the repentant reverence
2 Kings 22:3-13
Read the Bible through:
AM - Ezra 9-10 : PM - Acts 4:23-37
"Go, inquire of the LORD for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is aroused against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us" (2 Kings 22:13).

We have at least 16 Bibles in our house, not including a number of translations on CD. Yet it is sad that we believers may sometimes take "the words of this book" for granted.
Thank God many of our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers "obeyed the words of this book." If they had not, we might already have become a heathen nation. Many countries that sent the gospel to the New World have now largely rejected the Christian faith.
The book was found, but how was it lost? The leaders of Judah ignored it. On pressing issues, too many of our leaders seek the world's opinions instead of God's Word. Could our society lose the Word by not giving heed to it?
Lord, may I never ignore Your Word
