**2 Chronicles 34:25** — *"because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched."*
This word came through Huldah the prophetess — a woman reading a rediscovered scroll to a king who wept at its weight. The covenant had not changed. The people had.
Notice the precision of God's grief: *forsaken* first, then *burned incense* after. Departure precedes the idol. The altar is never the beginning of the problem — the turned heart is.
Josiah could not undo the nation's sin, yet his humility delayed the wrath. Not reversed — *delayed*. Mercy and holiness are not in conflict; they are held together by a God who remains faithful even when His people sojourn far from Him.
Scripture reminds us — the hands follow where the heart has already gone.
Walk with that today.
