2 Kings 23:25 Before him there was no king like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength according to all the law of Moses, and no one like him arose after him. (CSB)

Be that guy, the guy who does the right thing the right way at the right time for the right reason. The guy who does what’s right no matter what those who came before him did. The guy who does what’s right no matter what others may do after him.

Josiah’s life and reign also teach us another important lesson: Don’t get cocky, Kid. Verses 28-30 give us the details. He stepped into the path of two warring factions. It cost him his life. Confrontation is sometimes necessary. And sometimes, it will get you killed. Know when to stick your nose into other people’s hostilities and also when not to.

Two lessons:

1. Do the right thing, always.
2. Confront in a manner that makes things better or not at all.

I will do the right thing in all things at all times as I follow God’s leadership step by step.

Our Father, my idea of what the right thing to do is in any given situation may lack clarity and/or focus. Bless me with clarity. Give me wisdom in knowing when to step in and when to bow out. Give me the grace to keep from making things worse. Amen.
