Description
In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we examine 2 Kings 14, where King Amaziah of Judah starts strong with justice and obedience but stumbles when pride leads him into an ill-fated war. Meanwhile, Jeroboam II of Israel sees military success, not because of righteousness, but due to God's sovereign mercy. What does it all mean for us today? We reflect on how spiritual pride can undermine even our best intentions, why outcomes don't always mirror our moral standing, and how God's justice and sovereignty are always at work—even when leadership falters.
