Does the Holy Spirit take vacation?

There are times when my spirit feels weak and I long for the word of God. At these times I will sit down with my Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to let me open it at the place I need to be. I've done this a million times and the scriptures always fit. But not tonight, as I opened the Bible I fully anticipated a good ole lashing of "honor your mother and father". (the type of discipline I have come to expect from the Holy Spirit after a day like today) But apparently, that wasn't the case, I guess because I was already convicted and asked forgiveness He granted me a little grace.

So, I began reading 2 Chronicles 33-36 and thinking this has nothing to do with what I just experienced, maybe the Holy Spirits on vacation and I aimlessly just opened the Bible. He laughed(we are cool like that) and instructed me to read chapters 34 & 35 again. I did and He asked,"so what did you get out of that?" I thought about what I had just read and honestly my first thought was,"wow, the Duggar's must really like this guy they named 2 of their kids, Josiah and Josie, after him!" I know, I'm not the most spiritually inept person some times but God works with me. Then my second thought was I need to reread that last chapter because I really didn't get why he died. I read it again and it all became so clear!

King Josiah spent his entire life bringing people into line with the word of God but in the end He himself wouldn't follow God's commands. Because of this God allowed his enemies to destroy him. Now that I fully understood the life of King Josiah I had 2 questions. First, of course, why would the Duggar's name 2 of their kids after a guy who in the end didn't really know God and then why did the Holy Spirit bring me to this story.

The first question, is like the Tootsie Pop commercial, the world may never know! But, I got the revelation on the important one! A lot of it was personal revelation on where God has us(my husband and I) right now but the over all revelation that can apply to everyone is don't be a King Josiah!

If you are in ministry, this is a warning, you better believe 150% in what you are leading others in to or in the end your unbelief will surface and destroy you.

This can also be applied to everyone's lives: don't work at something your entire life that you don't believe in! In other words don't do a job just to do a job. I'm not saying quit your job if you hate but find out what you love to do and take the steps to get you going in that direction!
