King Josiah: A Young Reformer’s Journey

📖 Introduction

King Josiah stands out in the Bible as a remarkable example of youthful leadership and passionate devotion to God. Becoming king of Judah at just eight years old, Josiah's story is one of courage, repentance, and profound reformation during a dark period of idolatry and moral decline. His commitment to restoring true worship and turning the nation back to God inspires believers to see how even young people can lead powerful spiritual change.

Josiah's journey emphasizes the centrality of the Bible as God’s revealed Word. When the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple during his reign, Josiah's heart was deeply moved. This event sparked a national revival, where the Word shaped his policies and people’s hearts. This highlights the transformative power of Scripture and the importance of obedience to God's commands.

Throughout this 7-day study, we will dive into the story of Josiah’s reign, exploring key scriptures from 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles that reveal how he responded to God’s Word and led a spiritual awakening. We will reflect on the role of Scripture in our own lives—how it guides, convicts, comforts, and challenges us to be faithful in our generation.

Join us as we learn from Josiah’s example: a young reformer who trusted God, embraced His Word, and courageously stood against the tide of his culture.
