Renewed

In 2 Kings 22-23 King Josiah finds the book of the law. He then tears his clothes and assembles the whole nation of Judah together and reads the law to them. They then completely reform their society based on what God had commanded. How ironic that the "people of God" had forgotten the law of God. Sometimes I feel like we do the same thing though. As a "Christian" nation and as the Church that bears Jesus' name we forget to live our lives by what God so clearly communicated in the Bible. We get caught up in the day to day life and forget that there is a bigger picture out there, God's Kingdom. As one author put it "we are so close to the cross but so far from Christ.". Our culture is immersed in Jesus, and I'm afraid we have become desensitized to His Word. Today I pray that we "rediscover the law", take some time and see how your life lines up with what Jesus taught us. This is His world, for His glory.
