Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is 2 Chronicles 34-36, Matthew 11
2 Chronicles 34:1-2
Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. (2) He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and followed the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left.

2 Chronicles 35: 23-24
Archers shot King Josiah, and he told his officers, “Take me away; I am badly wounded.” [24] So they took him out of his chariot, put him in his other chariot and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.

Josiah became king when he was young, and followed the Lord throughout his life, doing what God wanted. He wasn't perfect but was a man that lived a life that we should all try and follow.
It struck me how early in life and how quickly Josiah's life ended. He had done alot of good for God, I would have thought he would live a long, happy and healthy life because he was good.
Making all the right moves doesn't mean we will have it perfect here on earth. We need to remember as Christians we are building towards the after life - in Heaven. This is where everything will be perfect, and we can be with God forever.
