Ephesians 6:14-16

[Phildude]

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain.

[Phildude]

As long as Uzziah sought the Lord, God made him prosper. ... But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction.
2 Chronicles 26:5b,16a

[cxa]

Just went through that section of the Bible in my Word of Promise audio Bible. The story of Uzziah is yet another example of the perils that come along with riches, fame, pride, overblown ego etc. The man started off so well and then got off track.

16 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. 17 Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the LORD followed him in. 18 They confronted him 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."

19 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 [c] broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the LORD had afflicted him.

21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house [d] —leprous, and excluded from the temple of the LORD. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

Ah, thank you very much for providing some background on that verse, I was a bit confused as I didn't know the full story of it. Verse makes more sense now!

A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9

[cxa]

Want a glimpse of our God's unfathomable forgiveness? Read 2 Chronicles 33: 1-20. No matter what we have done, if we come humbly before him and repent (turn from) our sins..."If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9". What a great example Manasseh has set for us. What an AWESOME GOD we serve!!
