Always be humble before the Lord

2 Chronicles 32:24-33
Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign. But Hezekiah's heart was proud and he did not respond to the kindness shown him. Then Hezekiah repented of the pride of his heart, therefore the Lord's wrath did not come upon them during the days of Hezekiah.
He succeeded in everything he undertook. But when envoys使節 were sent by the rulers of Babylon to ask him about the miraculous sign that had occurred in the land, God left him to test him and to know everything that was in his heart.
Left to himself: Hezekiah exhibits his treasures with foolish pride.
Why?
Hezekiah is succeeded in everything, so he had much treasure and cattle, flocks. So he prodded on these and exhibits to envoys of Babylon.
God will test his people and to know his heart.
No one is perfect in the world, proud may enter our heart when we are prospered.
How?
Be aware the proud and be humble before the Lord always.
