"Thus saith the LORD… because thine heart was tender, and thou ["Josiah by name" -1 Kings 13:2] hast humbled thyself before the LORD… I also have heard thee" (2 Kings 22:18,19). "Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us... to triumph in Thy praise" (Psalm 106:47). "Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things" (Proverbs 28:5). "You sounded out the Word of the Lord… how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God" (1 Thessalonians 1:8,9).
When King Josiah
humbly came,
The Lord foresaw
his tender heart.
He had been
prophesied by name
When Israel was
torn apart.
We surely live
in troubling days
When hardened
hearts are prone to stumble.
May God unite us
in His praise
To be triumphant
with the humble.
The proud don't
understand the things
Pertaining to
God's coming wrath,
But tenderly,
beneath His wings,
God leads the
humble on His path.
Lord, as we turn
to seek Your face
And find You as
our great Defender,
Triumphantly we
show Your grace
That drew our
hearts and made them tender.
