You might not have heard of Josiah. He is a little known king of Israel. You can read of his story in 2 Chronicles 34. What's remarkable about his story is that he choice to "swim upstream" and serve the Lord. His grandfather was a failure. His father was a mess spiritually. But somehow, Josiah chose to follow the Lord.
Josiah's story reminds us that we don't need good role models or perfect circumstances to do what's right. We just need the heart of a lion-the heart of courage. Josiah became king at the ripe old age of eight. When he was sixteen, the Bible says he began to seek the Lord. That's a great start for such a young king.
Whatever your age, I want to encourage you this week to choose to be courageous. Swim upstream as you serve the Lord.
See you Sunday!
