Sunday, September 7

While he was still a boy, he started to search for the God of David his forefather.—2 Chron. 34:3.

 

King Josiah was a teenager when he started to search for Jehovah. He wanted to learn about Jehovah and do His will. However, life was not easy for this young king. He had to take a stand for pure worship when false worship was prevalent. And indeed he did! Before Josiah was 20 years old, he began to remove false worship from the nation. (2 Chron. 34:1, 2) Even if you are very young, you can decide to imitate Josiah by searching for Jehovah and learning to appreciate His qualities. That fine course will move you to dedicate yourself to him. What will that dedication mean in your daily life? Luke, who got baptized at age 14, says, “From now on, I will put serving Jehovah first in my life and will try to make him happy.” (Mark 12:30) What a blessing it will be for you if you desire to do the same! w23.09 11 ¶12-13

If Josiah could stand tall in a world bent low to idols, you can stand tall in a world bowing to distractions. Start your search early, put Jehovah first, and watch your life fill with blessings that last.
