2 Kings 23:25
25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.

King Josiah of Judah was probably one of the most faithful servants that I can think of in which the Bible describes. After all, he not only heard God's Word, but he listened and reacted in an obedient manner.

Do you remember when you first started seeking out God and his unending love with all your heart? It probably wasn't the easiest thing in the world because of all the worldly behavior that surrounds us. However, many times in order to make a change in our lives, we have to break through certain barriers; one of the barriers we have to deal with on a daily basis is the world. The world may have many idols, for example, but you have to worship only the one, true God with all of your heart, your mind, and your soul.

As a part of the ungodly like behavior, we are always pressured by friends and celebrities. They say that God's will doesn't matter. Perhaps this already hinders a declining relationship with God because of a busy schedule. These two factors combined offer little time for prayer and the inability to grow leaps and bounds in our faith.

Think about a couple things that you can remove from your life so that you can become closer to God by removing the ungodly things from it. May God do something heavenly in your life.
