2 He did what was right from Adonai’s perspective, living entirely in the manner of David his ancestor and turning away neither to the right nor to the left.ģ In the eighteenth year of King Yoshiyahu, the king sent Shafan the son of Atzalyahu, the son of Meshulam, the secretary, to the house of Adonai after instructing him, 4 “Go up to Hilkiyahu the cohen hagadol, and have him total the money that has been brought into the house of Adonai, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.

His mother’s name was Y’didah the daughter of ‘Adayah from Botzkat. (From My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition)īible in One Year: 2 Kings 22-23 John 4:31-54Ģ Kings 22: 1 Yoshiyahu was eight years old when he began his reign, and he ruled for thirty-one years in Yerushalayim. When we realise this, He will make us broken bread and poured-out wine to feed and nourish others. Our Lord never dictated to His Father, and we are not here to dictate to God we are here to submit to His will so that He may work through us what He wants. The only aim of the life is that the Son of God may be manifested, and all dictation to God vanishes.

We have to exercise ourselves in order that the Son of God may be manifested in our mortal flesh. May God not find the whine in us any more, but may He find us full of spiritual pluck and athleticism, ready to face anything He brings.

It does not matter how it hurts as long as it gives God the chance to manifest Himself in your mortal flesh. Peter says - “Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you.” Rise to the occasion do the thing. God is the Master Engineer, He allows the difficulties to come in order to see if you can vault over them properly - “By my God have I leaped over a wall.” God will never shield you from any of the requirements of a son or daughter of His. Are you working it out with your tongue, and your brain and your nerves? If you are still the same miserable crosspatch, set on your own way, then it is a lie to say that God has saved and sanctified you. You cannot do anything for your salvation, but you must do something to manifest it, you must work out what God has worked in. Bend the whole energy of your powers to realize your election as a child of God rise to the occasion every time. Remember what you are saved for - that the Son of God might be manifested in your mortal flesh.
