#413 Mentoring Moment: Lost and Found

Author: CJ and Shelley Hitz: Writing Mentor, Author Coach, Christian Writers January 22, 2024 Duration: 18:37

2 Kings 22 & 23

King Josiah's reforms all started with finding a book in the Temple. The High Priest Hilkiah found the Book of the Law which had been lost for years. 

Josiah was 26 when this Book of the Law was found and he repented when he began reading what was contained in the Law. He then sent a delegation to the Temple to inquire of the Lord. The prophet Huldah shared a message from the Lord that judgment was coming but that it would come after Josiah's lifetime.

Josiah could have coasted into retirement and done nothing but he decided to do everything possible to help his people follow the Lord. His reforms led to a great revival among the people.

It all began with a book that was lost and found. How will the Lord use our books both now and in the future? He may use our books in ways beyond our comprehension.
