DON’T LET PRIDE OVERCOME YOU

Uzziah was crowned king at the age of 16.
For many years he followed God; along the way, God granted him tremendous success and his fame spread far and wide.

* »But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God… »*(2 Chronicles 26:16)

Surely he dared to do what is not pleasing to God because of pride.
And the Lord smote him with leprosy to punish him (vv. 18-20).
If it happens that God bless us and lift us up to the point where we become powerful, wealthy or influential in society, let’s not let our hearts swell, for God hates pride.
The word of God says this:
* »Don’t allow your heart to become proud, and don’t forget the Lord… »*(Deuteronomy 8:14)
Those who exalt themselves God brings them down and humbles them.

PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to never let our hearts lift up when You do us good.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
