In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we turn to 2 Chronicles 26 and the compelling story of King Uzziah. His reign began with strength, wisdom, and divine favor. He led Judah to military victories, expanded infrastructure, and built a reputation of power and innovation. But over time, his heart shifted. In a moment of pride, Uzziah stepped outside his God-given role and entered the temple to burn incense—an act reserved for priests. His disobedience led to a lifetime of isolation with leprosy.
We explore the ancient wisdom embedded in this story: success is a blessing, but it’s also a test. Humility, boundaries, and spiritual accountability are key to sustaining what God gives. Uzziah’s life teaches us to seek God in prosperity as much as in hardship, and to never let status blind us to spiritual responsibility.
