2 Chron 26:16 ‘But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction…’
After God gave Uzziah great prosperity and power, he became proud and corrupt. Man will always be better served when his strength is fully reliant on God (2 Cor 12:10 ‘…for when I am weak, then am I strong.’), and not in his own hands. In the Father’s favor towards us, we can’t become full of ourselves. The scriptures prove that it’s better to be broken and empty with the Saviour, than it is to be strong and full of one-self; it often leads one to thoughts of selfish entitlement rather than a humble servant.
Selfishness isn’t living as one wishes, it’s expecting others to live as one wishes… HSAY
