Josiah is one of the good kings of Judah in the Bible. He is proof that we come to God on our own and not because of the faith of our parents. Josiah was a good king. It is true his great grandfather, Hezekiah, was a really good king too, but his grandfather and father were bad kings who worshipped idols. Josiah cleared all the idols out of the temple and reinstated the true worship of God. And yet his children did not follow in his footsteps. Three of his sons succeeded him one by one and then Judah was taken into captivity in Babylon. There are two things to learn here, one is you can't rely on your parents' belief, you have to come on your own and also do not be discouraged if your parents are bad examples, God may well still accept you if you come to him in spirit and in truth.God has no grand children.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
