2 Chronicles 32-34
What God said to me – Before I sent Babylon to judge My people and punish them for their sin and unfaithfulness, I gave them King Josiah who would turn to Me and My word and renew My covenant with My people. This did not stop the great trials they were to face but it prepared them to face this tribulation with faith and hope. In the same way when you are in times of relative peace you must spend it in My word and seeking Me. It is in these quiet times that I prepare you to face the turmoil that will surely come. Don’t waste this time or grow slack because you don’t feel the urgency to seek Me. Come often and eagerly to learn from Me. Let Me teach you and instill My truth in your heart and mind so you are able to stand firm during trials.
