2 Kings 22:11 (NKJV) 11 Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes.<\/p>\n

Our sincerity in our walk with God is more important than we know.<\/p>\n

And if we look at it closely, we will understand that it revolves around what is in our heart.<\/p>\n

In the verse above, king Josiah had realized that the nation of Judah had neglected God and their relationship with Him.<\/p>\n

They had abandoned Him.<\/p>\n

It happened by no fault of their own. The generations preceding them had slowly left God behind, trading Him for idols and false gods.<\/p>\n

But when Josiah discovered the truth about their situation, he immediately tore his clothing as was the Jewish custom when something terrible had happened.<\/p>\n

More importantly, though, he took steps to rectify the situation and get the people of Judah back on track.<\/p>\n

So it should be for us.<\/p>\n

Our walk with God should be the highest priority in our life. Everything else must come after.<\/p>\n

And when we see that we have lapsed somewhere, fixing it must be what we focus on.<\/p>\n

As with Josiah, the state of our heart must be one that is soft and pliable; moldable by God.<\/p>\n

Life, and the things we encounter, can cause our hearts to become hard and callous. A heart in this condition does not easily respond to God\u2019s promptings or the conviction of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

The best remedy for this is for us to recognize our condition and to lay ourselves repentantly at the feet of Jesus, asking Him to teach us His ways.<\/p>\n

And He will willingly do that for each of us, no questions asked.<\/p>\n
