Two posts ago, I mentioned Josiah's success with regard to his standing up for the poor and needy.
Get this--Josiah did not just stand up for the 'little guy', but he was one! Too often we ignore the potential that children have. This potential is not to do great things 20 years from now, but to do great things TODAY. Josiah was just 8 years old when he commenced his reign as king of Israel, and by the close of his twenties, he had brought his nation back to the worship of the true and living God. Josiah did not even make it to 40--he was just 39 when he was wounded and died. Yet in the time of his life cut short he accomplished so much and had the honour of being part of the line that would bring to us Messiah!
Now, can we even, if by none other than selfish reasons, afford to let children continue to suffer so? Can we really let 1,000 children under the age of 5 die EVERY HOUR of preventable causes?
