When to inquire of the Lord

When a scribe read a newly discovered copy of the Law to King Josiah, it shocked the king, for he knew that the Lord’s wrath as on the nation of Judah,

Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes. Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, “Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do according to all that is written in this book” (2 Chronicles 34:19–21).

When you read God’s Book and discover that you have not complied with it, you need to inquire of Him immediately, and repent of wrongdoing and start doing what He wants done.
