2 Kings 11-15

And Jehoash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all his days, because Jehoiada the priest instructed him. - II Kings 12:2

In this story God gave us insight into a dark chapter in Israel's history with nearly the entire royal family killed by a power hungry woman. However, it led to one of the greatest revivals in Israel's history. It began with one man who instructed the king in the truth of God's word, and this man was able to witness the Word being implemented in the reign of that king.

How can we make a difference? How can revival start in a home or in our country? It begins with a simple choice to know and practice the truth of God's word. We may not have the ear of our leaders like Jehoida, but we do have the ear of our families and friends. Let us be faithful in the "small" details, and let God work through us by the power of the Spirit and the Word.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; - Psalm 130:5
