Our text tells about Josiah destroying idols. An idol is not always a little statue that we worship. An idol is anything that replaces God's position. It is not the object that is the problem. The problem is in our heart. Anything that sets itself in place of God is an idol and must be destroyed. It is not enough to remove them; they must be destroyed. Manassas moved the idols outside the city, but his son remembered them from his youth and went to find them when he became king. When we purge the idols from our lives, we must deal with them completely. There are things we have entertained for far too long that we're passing down to our children that will be their downfall. It is not enough to set them aside; we must make them into dust. A young Josiah learned a lesson that we must all learn. The idols must be broken into dust
