Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall

 2 Chronicles 26:16-23

But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.”

Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy broke out on his forehead.

King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died.

Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

Why?

A man becoming powerful may induce his pride, and pride leads to downfall.

Burn incense is the priest's job, but Uzziah is a king and not a priest. serve the Lord needs to be servant of the Lord and chosen by the Lord.

To be a king doesn't mean he can do anything. so if we are wealthy and healthy we have to be more humble because the rich and healthy are the gift of the Lord.

How?

My life my health and my living food are the mercy of the Lord comes upon me. No because of my wisdom or my strength.
