A Milestone Worth Celebrating
For the first time in the history of this registry, we received nearly as many celebration reports as new prayer requests. What a testament to God’s faithfulness! Thank you for sharing what He is doing in and through your businesses. We are honored to witness firsthand so many ways God is moving in the marketplace.
Today’s Prayer Focus: A King Who Walked with God
Our prayer time today centered on King Uzziah, a man who experienced extraordinary blessing — and the sobering danger of losing his way. His story in 2 Chronicles 26 is a powerful reminder that success is a gift to steward, not a trophy to claim.
The Arc of King Uzziah’s Life
- He became King at just 16 years old — young enough to know he needed help.
- He sought wisdom from the prophet Zechariah and became a loyal seeker of God.
- He experienced great success and became widely celebrated.
- His strength and prosperity went to his head — and he grew contemptuous of God.
- Pride led to his downfall, and God’s discipline followed.
We Prayed These Things Over You
- That God would place a Zechariah in your life — a trusted voice who points you back to Him.
- That success would not go to your head, but would deepen your gratitude.
- That failure would not go to your head, but would strengthen your faith.
- That you would find joy in growing things, just as Uzziah did in his early years.
- That you would always seek God first — before strategy, before action, before anything.
- That He would guard you against the subtle and dangerous slope of pride.
“May God bless you and keep you.” — Numbers 6:24
We reflected today on what it means to be kept. Avoiding the pitfall of Uzziah is not merely a matter of willpower — it is the fruit of staying close to the One who blesses. The best guard against pride is the abiding presence of God Himself.
