Scripture: Matthew 1: 7-11, 2 Chronicles 34:1-8

For Reflection and Discussion
- Where have/do you find yourself longing? How do you deal with desires for ‘more’?
- Have you ever considered that desire is a symptom of our separation from God – the ‘hum’ of the human heart until it is united with Christ? How could this change the way you bring your desires before God?
- When Josiah read the book of the law 2nd Chron 34:19 he was penitent and turned to God. Are their areas of your life you need to turn to Him? (Pride, unconfessed sins, idolatry, relational conflict)
