1. God gave him success (26:1-15)

Uzziah's reign was long and prosperous. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. He was successful in war and he was a good administrator in time of peace. He was a builder and a man who loved the soil. His army was large, well-trained and well-equipped. He became famous.

2. Pride led to his downfall (16-23)

In his pride, he ignored God's word and went into the temple to burn incense on the altar of incense. This kind of religion displeases God, for God must be worshiped in God's way. When the priests tried to stop him, he became violently angry. Then, leprosy broke out on his forehead.

3. Jotham his son succeed him (27:1-9)

Uzziah lived a leper's isolated life until the day of his death. Jotham his son ruled. He was blessed because he walked steadfastly before the Lord.

Application: Lord, teach me to fear and obey you to the end of my life.
One Word: Walk steadfastly before the Lord
