       The heart of man is one of the two battle grounds satan will attack.  The mind is the other.

       The heart- the seat of our emotions.

       The heat of the battle will make us get hard.

       The hypocrisy of the brethren will make your heart hard.

   I. Josiah had a tender heart because of a personal pursuit. II Chronicles 34:1-27

       He walked in the ways of David his father. Vs. 1-16

       He began to pursue the ways of David his father; to seek the God of David. Vs. 16-27

  II. A passionate purging.

       He thoroughly purged the nation and seemed to get God’s attention. Vs 3-7

       Take a vengeance against sin in your life.  Clean the big and little sins.

III. A pressing priority – being concerned about what happens at the house of God. Vs. 8

IV. A painful perception. Vs. 14-21

 V. A public promise. Vs. 27-28

      God wasn’t going to judge Him. Vs. 29-32

      He made a covenant to follow the Lord and made everyone stand to it.
