Reading: 2 Kings 22, 2 Chronicles 34, and Acts 14
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 34:30, And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites, all the people both great and small. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the Lord.
Thoughts: After many generations of Kings doing evil and the occasional one listing to God the books of the law had been lost for generations, and after they were found and read these books one of the first things he did was to have them read to the leaders and the people. We are to always be in the word and letting it transform us and draw us closer to God. As these people were seeking after gods of other nations God hid his word somewhere that someday someone would find it and lead them back into relationship with Him. Does the Word of God hold the reverence in our homes as it should, or are we dusting it off when we have guests over?
