2 Kings 22 & 23
King Josiah's reforms all started with finding a book in the Temple. The High Priest Hilkiah found the Book of the Law which had been lost for years.
Josiah was 26 when this Book of the Law was found and he repented when he began reading what was contained in the Law. He then sent a delegation to the Temple to inquire of the Lord. The prophet Huldah shared a message from the Lord that judgment was coming but that it would come after Josiah's lifetime.
Josiah could have coasted into retirement and done nothing but he decided to do everything possible to help his people follow the Lord. His reforms led to a great revival among the people.
It all began with a book that was lost and found. How will the Lord use our books both now and in the future? He may use our books in ways beyond our comprehension.

Henri is a ship builder who tears up his boats just before finishing. Some think he is crazy but one recognizes Henri is afraid of the water. He likes boats but is afraid of going out on the water. He tears up the boat so he doesn't actually need to launch the boat. - Cannery Row by John Steinbeck
What are you and I afraid of as writers?
Matthew 14:22-33 – Read and stop at various points along the way
"He alone has spread out the heavens and marches on the waves of the sea." – Job 9:8
"You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves." – Psalm 89:9
Jesus does what the scriptures say God alone does. He calms the chaos with his toes.
Jesus will get us across the stormy seas that arise in our writing journeys.
