When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his robes

2  Chronicles 34:8-21

In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, to purify the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the ruler of the city, with Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the temple of the Lord his God.

While they were bringing out the money that had been taken into the temple of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord that had been given through Moses. Hilkiah said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the Lord.” He gave it to Shaphan.

 When the king heard the words of the Law, he tore his robes. He gave these orders to Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant: “Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the remnant in Israel and Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger that is poured out on us because those who have gone before us have not kept the word of the Lord; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written in this book.”

Why?

They found the words of the Law from the repair work of the Temple of the Lord. When we want to see the Lord, be closer to the Lord and listen to the word of the Lord. The Lord will give us the way and right person to know the Lord.

Let the Lord gives me the Spirit and the word and let me live more like Jesus, and knowing the living way in my limit life.

How?

May the blessing and the way of the Lord in front of me could be found and walking on it.
