Daily Devotions: Things Sacred - June 22, 2026

2 Kings 23:4 (ESV) - “And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the keepers of the threshold to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on King Josiah’s reforms and the importance of maintaining a sense of what is sacred. When Josiah discovered that objects and practices associated with idol worship had been brought into the temple, he took decisive action to remove anything that dishonored God and compromised the purpose of a place dedicated to His worship. Pastor Sumrall explains that throughout Scripture, God’s people were called to treat what was dedicated to Him with reverence and respect. While believers understand that God's presence is not limited to a building, places, ministries, and things set apart for His service should still be treated with honor and care. Scripture repeatedly shows that God values what is consecrated to Him. This Daily Devotion reminds us to protect what has been dedicated to God and to guard against anything that would diminish its purpose. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
