2 Chronicles 26: Helped until he was strong

Read 2 Chronicles 26:1-23 before you meet.

In a few lines

2 Kings says only, "The LORD struck the king" (2 Kings 15:5). 2 Chronicles tells what came before: a king who "was marvelously helped until he was strong" (26:15) went into the temple to burn incense, and the leprosy broke out on his forehead "beside the altar of incense" (26:19).

The verse to carry

“He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.”

2 Chronicles 26:5

To talk about

  1. 1. Uzziah "was marvelously helped until he was strong" (26:15), and "when he was strong, his heart was lifted up" (26:16). Where are you strong right now, and how do you keep seeking God there?

  2. 2. Azariah and eighty priests "resisted Uzziah the king" (26:17-18). When has someone told you a hard truth you needed, and how did you receive it?

  3. 3. When the priests spoke, "Uzziah was angry" (26:19). What does anger at being corrected look like in you, and what would it take to hear the correction instead?
