Josiah, the son of an unfaithful and wicked King Amon, began to reign at age 8 (2 Chronicles 34:1). He began to serve the Lord at age 16. At 16 he "did what was right in the eyes of the Lord..." (2 Chronicles 34:2). He began a spiritual overhaul of his country, getting rid of the numerous idols set up by his grandfather, Manasseh, and worshiped by his father.
He proceeded to restore Judah to the ways and laws of God. What a powerful man he became at 16! We should never underestimate the potential of our young people nor the powerful ways that God can use them!
