2 Kings 21-25

I didn't glean a lot from this passage, but there were two things that really struck me.  First, Josiah influenced the heart of God with his wholehearted devotion.  The fact that we have a God who is amazingly powerful and just yet loves us enough to listen is incredible.  Second, Josiah wasn't that successful as a dad.  How do you gain the attention of God with your devotion to him, yet have a son who is evil?  Perhaps it was just the will of God and had nothing to do with Josiah's parenting, but the shift that occurs between generations was pretty dramatic.  However, it was part of God's plan as He was ready to punish His people for generations of sin.
