Have you ever thought about SUCCESS being one of the biggest spiritual dangers?
King Uzziah had been faithful, and God had blessed him.
But “when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction” (2 Chronicles 26:16).
The very blessings that came from relying on God eventually became a source of pride that pulled him away from God.
Our greatest spiritual moments, even miracles we’ve experienced, don’t guarantee we’ll stay with the Lord until the end.
That testimony you gained at girls camp?
That “big calling” you held?
That miracle that happened at your lowest point?
These good moments from our past can be beautiful spiritual memories.
But they can also lead to pride, separation, and dismissal.
So what’s your heart like today?
Are you still humble?
Still teachable?
Still willing to let Him lead?
Our past faithful moments can be great fuel to our testimonies, but, just as Uzziah learned, we’ve got to check constantly to make sure our blessings for the past haven’t separated our hearts from God now.
Happy Studying!
