129 - "Cut Me Off From the Wild Olive" 2 Kings 21-22

He was only 8 years old when he began to reign...and he reigned 31 years in Jerusalem. 2 Kings 22:1. He was a mere child who inherited a wicked rule. He had nothing to do with the state of affairs. He had everything to do with Kingdom affairs. "Josiah did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the way of David his father, and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left." 2 Kings 22:2. It's my prayer for our children. God did for this child king: Romans 11:24 God cut him off from the wild olive and grafted him into the good olive. Nothing is too hard for that Grace to do." Josiah walked the narrow middle road. He took care to repair the temple. He took care to watch and wait in the Word of God. 

Oh Father, start with me. Cut me off from the wild olive. Graft us in today. May we take deep care to the place where we have been called. May we wait in Your Word this day, always!
