Summary

2 Chronicles 26; Isaiah 42:5–8 Pride is a quiet thief. It creeps in during seasons of success, slowly redirecting the glory that belongs to God toward the one He has blessed. King Uzziah of Judah discovered this the hard way—and he lost everything because of it. From 2 Chronicles 26 and Isaiah 42:5–8, Pastor Chuck Swindoll traces Uzziah’s stunning rise and tragic fall to show what happens when a person stops giving God the credit He deserves. Five timeless warnings emerge from this ancient king’s story. Guard your heart against pride. Learn what it means to live in a way that returns all the glory to God.
