King of Judah at the age of 16, Uzziah reined for 52 years. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. God helped him to win great victories over the Philistines and the Arabs. Uzziah built the walls of Jerusalem, towers in the wilderness, and cisterns. He had large herds and vineyards on fertile lands. Uzziah amassed a well-armed army of 307,500 soldiers with war-machines. However, Uzziah grew proud to his own destruction He became unfaithful to the LORD, and entered the temple to burn incense. Eighty priests confronted him. Because of his actions, God struck him with leprosy while Uzziah had the censor in his hands. For the rest of his life, his son governed Judah while Uzziah lived alone. Most people see worldly pride in others, and rarely see such in themselves. Are we willing to look into our hearts? Christ remains the example of humility. He gave up all to come and live as a bondservant among humanity. This lesson observes what conceit looks like and encourages Christians to avoid becoming inflated with worldly pride. God help all Christians to humble themselves before you.
