1. Temple repair (1-7)
Josiah was an 8 year old boy when he became king. Whether from his mother or spiritual leaders, he had a sense of worship. In the eighteenth year of his reign he mandated that the temple be repaired
2. I have found the Book of the Law (8-20)
During the temple work the Book of the Law was found and read to Josiah. When he heard it, he tore his clothes and immediately inquired of the Lord. He realized that the Lord would be angry, for the people had not been obedient to the word. The Lord confirmed through a prophet that he indeed was bringing disaster on the nation, but he encouraged Josiah. The Lord loves those who listen to him with a responsive and obedient heart.
