In this sermon, the preacher begins by discussing the story of Josiah, who became king at the age of eight and ruled for 31 years. Josiah was praised for doing what was right in the sight of the Lord and following in the ways of his father David. The preacher then transitions to discussing the importance of having an upright heart, which involves being willing to give oneself out and go the extra mile. He shares a personal anecdote about going out for pizza with a large group and realizing that thin pizzas were not enough to fill everyone up. The preacher emphasizes the need to look back, look forward, look inward, and look upward in order to have an upright heart. He explains that an upright heart holds on to the ways of God and does not turn back or decline from His path. The sermon concludes with a story about a little boy who wanted a job at a hardware store, but the owner hesitated because he didn't want to disappoint the boy if he couldn't handle the job. The preacher suggests that sometimes we may be upset with ourselves, but we need to have faith and trust in God's plan for our lives.
