In this episode, we find a New Testament connection to the rise and fall of King Uzziah in Jesus's letter to the Church in Laodicea. We read and think through Revelation 3:15-17 and confront the reality that while we may say one thing, the Lord knows what's really going on. He knows what and who we sound like, and we consider asking him before he tells us.

Also in this episode, we read from the book, ⁠Humility by Andrew Murray⁠.

When King Uzziah grew strong, pride became his downfall. In this reflection on 2 Chronicles 26, we examine how pride can lead to destruction and how humility can prevent it. Will we humble ourselves—or will the Lord have to step in and humble us?

Also in this episode, I briefly discussed this book: Humility by Andrew Murray

We continue our Rise and Fall of Kings series by reading the start of King Uzziah’s reign. His rise wasn’t self-made though. In this episode, we explore how Uzziah’s strength and success came from seeking God—and how true prosperity still begins the same way: with God, not ourselves. He is the one who makes us prosper.
