Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-24

2 Kings 22:11 (NKJV) 11 Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes.

Our sincerity in our walk with God is more important than we know.

And if we look at it closely, we will understand that it revolves around what is in our heart.

In the verse above, king Josiah had realized that the nation of Judah had neglected God and their relationship with Him.

They had abandoned Him.

It happened by no fault of their own. The generations preceding them had slowly left God behind, trading Him for idols and false gods.

But when Josiah discovered the truth about their situation, he immediately tore his clothing as was the Jewish custom when something terrible had happened.

More importantly, though, he took steps to rectify the situation and get the people of Judah back on track.

So it should be for us.

Our walk with God should be the highest priority in our life. Everything else must come after.

And when we see that we have lapsed somewhere, fixing it must be what we focus on.

As with Josiah, the state of our heart must be one that is soft and pliable; moldable by God.

Life, and the things we encounter, can cause our hearts to become hard and callous. A heart in this condition does not easily respond to God’s promptings or the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

The best remedy for this is for us to recognize our condition and to lay ourselves repentantly at the feet of Jesus, asking Him to teach us His ways.

And He will willingly do that for each of us, no questions asked.
