2 Chronicles 35:22 "Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo."
God is not limited in the ways He can use people. Especially people that we would not expect Him to use. As far as we know, the people and kings of Egypt were pagan, and always were. Therefore, one can almost understand Josiah's reasoning - a pagan king can't be speaking the actual words of God, can he?
The mistake we see here is that Josiah made a snap decision without first checking with God. If Josiah seriously questioned the words of Necho, then he could have very easily asked God to confirm it. This blot on Josiah's otherwise committed life came as a result of Josiah having a limited belief in what and who God could use for His purposes.
How am I limiting God in my mind today? If I'm honest, what are some things that I don't sincerely believe He could or would use to change the direction of my life? What will it take to change these mistaken perceptions in my mind?
