GOOlBJi TEXT—A- man’s pride shall bring him low, but he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.—Prtiv. 23:53 H. V. Again we consider tho southern ‘ kingdom- No better character could have been chosen to illustrate the condition of rulers and people jin the declining days of Judah’s glory, TTz- riah ruled for 58 years and. his reign Was almost midway ifetween the days of Solomon and those of the Babylon, iaa captivity. U Prleat and Parents, vv, 1-5. The name Uzziah meank "God has, helped me” and no king evenhad better ad- -vantages^ in the way of parents anil counselors. To the influence of hia parents he yielded in his youth (v. 4), followed the’ good counsel of Zacha- riah the prophet of God (r. 6), and a8 long as be sought the.Lord, "God mado him prosper," Ancestry and eu- ' vironment are not, however, a guar­ anty of any perpetuity in’"character, (I, Pride, vv, 6-15, Uzziah orAzariah (marg.) made a fine start and his reigm considered alt a-whole, was’ ohe of fhe jnost brllliaut in Judah’s history. It bears somejBtriking'resem­ blances to that of Solomon in, that jthe dangerous enemies became subjeet na­ tions (v. 8). In the conduct of his campaigns Uzziah "waxed* exceeding­ ly strong" (v.' 8 *B. V.) Uzziah also 'greatly ' improved and strengthened Jerusalem and gave much heed^to stock raising and forestry (v, ID). The - secret of ,all of this prosperity was that he 1sought Jehovah.’, Christen­ dom is not(Christianity, yet it is A fact that -In those lauds where God is most highly exalted and'most near­ ly followed wo witness the greatest, .prosperity and men Hying amidst'1 the 'most* comfortable surroundings. Seek "Jehovah;, knowhia will aa revealed in his word, and do that will when learned, is the only true basis of real and lasting prosperity. Uzziah also gave an exhibition of worldly wisdom ' that he strengthened the defenses' of the nation (v. 9-10). Confidence in God does not paralyze human energy or make us presumptuous and care­ less (I .Chron. 27:35-31). Uzziah brought the army up to a high point of efficiency (v, 13-15), using 1the best weapons known in his day. We, likewise, may be "marvelouslyhelped’* from, the same Source and upon tho same conditions; viz.jvthat we "seek the Lord" (Eph. GrlOj Blii. 5:13). ill. Punishment, w„ 16-21. (1) Pride 1—Usudaitfs fall and shame is one pf the'Saddeat ehhffters in 11510 #?, His strength became, liis rui®. "When he .was strong hia heart Was lifted up.” Poverty, struggle and adversity'are not passports to glory fhdugh they have strengthened the moral fiber of thousands. The tempting' tests of- prosperity, gilded, perfumed and at- tr&ctive'are, however, far more hhrd ■ to withstand:.Pride always leads to (2) Presumption—Centuries before God had warned men that prosperity Would lead to ruin , (Deut. 8:11-17; 32:13-15) -.and SplomOn also gave warning (Frov, 16:18). The subtlety of pride is the gradual why by which w&coins toi look upon our prosperity as the work of our own hands, there­ by forgetting the source of -our pow­ er and becoming filled with a feeling of pur own 'self-sufficiency. The next step was that Uzziah assumed to htm- .soif those, duties (v. 16) which right-: fully and exclusively belonged to the priesthood (see Num. 16:40; 18:7; I Kings 12:33; 12:1-4; Heb. 5;4). (3) Pro- testing—We now behold the strange spectacle of the king protesting for the wrong and the faithful priests Azariah for the right. A sad specta­ cle Indeed when the head of a nation, openly avows the wrong and persists in it dOBplte the protests of the serv­ ants Of God. The last part'of verso 18 indicates the extent and perver­ sity of Uzziah’s pride. Admonition only aroused the anger of the all-con- 'quering monarch. No honor ever ■comes from disobeying God (I Sam. 2:|0; Dan. 5:37). Uzziah apparently (v. 19) was about to use the cenafe# in his hand as a weapon in execution of his wrath, but God interfered (I Peter 6:6-7), Azariah is saved and Uzziah^becomes a leper. We must not press the teaching that alt sickness is fhe result ot sin (read Job). , Uzziah was forever separated (▼. 21; aridwas In his death "Unclean" be­ cause *’H!s heart was lifted to hia de­ struction." Thete are four suggmtkma in clos­ ing: (i) Uiziah’s pride had gone too far- secretly and perhhps unconscious­ ly it had slowly, but aurtly permeated his whole nature. (2) Leprosy was a fitting punish­ ment, for it was an emblem of the foulnesfi of his sin. (t) Ills leprous condition was in marked contrast with What rho had formerly enjoyed. . (4) His punishment Bhut him out ef­ fectually from the work of his king- dentffc-fcbiHty, strength, experience and ambition fall before the blighting blast of sin.
