Subalit nang maging makapangyarihan si Uzias, naging palalo siya na siyang dahilan ng kanyang pagbagsak.

2 Mga Cronica 26:16a

Naging viral ang pagsampal ng isang celebrated artist sa kapwa niya artist during an awardsnight. Dahil dito ay pinatawan ng 10-year ban ang nanampal from participating in that prestigious event. Naexpose naman ang infidelity ng isang champion golfer, naapektuhan ang kanyang laro at nawalan pa siya ng malalaking sponsorships. What about public servants in high positions na kinasuhan dahil sa paglustay sa pondo ng bayan? Totoo kayang mapanlinlang ang salapi at katanyagan? Ayon kay Albert Einstein, “With fame, I become more and more stupid which of course, is a very common phenomenon.”  Akala kasi natin kahit ano ay puwede na nating gawin. We forget how God’s grace got us where we are.

Katulad ni Haring  Uzias sa 2 Chronicles chapter 26. Binata siya nang maging hari ng Judah. Dahil tapat siya sa Diyos, God prospered him. Mahigit 50 years din siyang naging hari, kaya lang dahil sumakses siya, naging famous for his strong army, he thought he could do anything, even what only the priests were allowed to do. Kahit mahigpit na ipinagbabawal, pumasok si Uzias sa templo to offer incense. The priests warned him and told him to get out. Nagalit ang hari. James 4:6 says, “God opposes the proud,” and in this case, instant ang naging parusa sa hari — nagkaketong siya! Mula noon na-quarantine na siya hanggang sa namatay.  

Akala natin sinusubok tayo kapag nakakaranas tayo ng failure. Pero pati pala ang success, isang test din. Naka-focus pa ba tayo kay Lord o sa sarili natin? Paano kaya tayo hindi matutulad kay Uzias? Why not begin by asking the Blesser of wisdom?
