In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we take a closer look at 2 Chronicles 25 and the life of King Amaziah of Judah. His story is a sobering case study in the dangers of incomplete obedience. Amaziah starts well—following God’s law in executing justice and heeding prophetic counsel before going into battle. But pride soon gets the better of him. After a military win, he turns to idolatry, rejects correction, and picks a reckless fight with Israel. The result? Defeat, humiliation, and assassination.
We unpack the ancient wisdom this chapter offers: that obedience needs to be wholehearted, success requires humility, and ignoring correction leads to destruction. These lessons still resonate—whether you’re in leadership, navigating ambition, or trying to stay faithful under pressure. Amaziah’s life reminds us that finishing well starts with staying grounded in God’s truth.
