“And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.” - 2 Kings 22v2
Josiah is one of my favourite kings. When he became king we read that he did that which was right. He walked in the ways of his father David. Not only that we read that he never veered off to the right or the left. Josiah had a complete dedication from which he would not be swayed. He stayed on the path. Nothing could turn him from his path of devotion.
Today we have all kinds of things standing alongside our paths calling us to turn aside. As we walk through Vanity Fair lust, greed, materialism, pride, and many others are calling out to us to just take a peek inside their tents. Satan does all he can to get us to turn aside from our path and follow after him and his minions. Our wicked flesh screams out for satisfaction.
What are we going to do? In front of us, loving encouraging us to keep our eyes on Him is our Saviour. To every side we have our enemies. Who are we going to follow? Are we going to stay on the path, or turn off to the right and left?
