I love the story of the boy king Josiah in 2 Kings 22-23 and how he was zealous for the Lord God. If you remember, the priest Hilkiah found the Book of the law in the temple when they were doing renovations. They had been going on as a society without the word of God for quite some time, but when they found the book and Josiah read it and had it read for all the people, the most incredible thing happened. He saw a prophecy that called him out by name, revealing his identity and mission even though it was written 300 years earlier in 1 Kings 13. He saw himself in the book, his identity was revealed, and because of that he could turn away from idolatry and sin and lead his people in the worship of God. I am starting to see myself in the book. Are you starting to see yourself in the book? Do you realize that your destiny and identity is known by God, and he is waiting for you to find the book and find yourself in the book. You are a priest and king who has been called to cut down the high places and lead others into a relationship with the true God.
