Have you ever wondered what happens when someone ignores wise counsel — especially when that counsel comes from God? In 2 Kings 14, we meet King Amaziah of Judah, a man who begins his reign walking in God’s ways but allows pride to cloud his judgment.
After a victory over Edom, Amaziah’s confidence turns to arrogance, leading him to challenge King Jehoash of Israel. Despite a divine warning, Amaziah presses on — and the result is tragic: Judah is defeated, Jerusalem is plundered, and Amaziah is captured.
This powerful chapter reminds us that pride can blind even the faithful. True wisdom lies in humility — in recognizing when God’s voice is cautioning us to step back.
📖 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)
🙏 Watch, reflect, and let this story remind you to stay humble and heed God’s direction, even in your moments of strength.
