FINDING THE WORD OF THE GOD

Scripture:   2 Kings 22:8 “And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.  And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

     There has been such a great find by Hilkiah, the high priest. He has found the Word of God, after 75 years, and in all places, he found it in the house of the Lord. It had been in the right place for all these years.  It had only been discovered, when they began to repair the house of the Lord. It had been there all along!  If you want to find the Word of God today, you’ll find it down at the house of the Lord.  It’s right where you left it.
    It was such a great find because the Word of God had been missing from the lives of the children of God for so long. It was a gracious find for now the children of the Lord could find out what He expected them to do.  Most of the people that were still alive, had never read or heard the Word of God, so it was a glorious find for them.  Can you imagine how it must have thrilled their souls to read it after 75 years!
    It was found by the high priest and when he gave it to Shaphan, he read it! It was as though they couldn’t wait to hear what the Lord had to say.  Shaphan then brought it to the king and began reading it to him. 
    The reading of the Word of God brought conviction to their hearts. The king repented after hearing what God had said for him to do. Oh, that we would hear His Word’s and repent over our failure to do what He wants us to do! 
    The Lord said to, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" John 5:39.  Would you be willing to search for the Word of God and search through the Word of God to find out what God expects of you today?
