**2 Chronicles 25:26** — *"As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?"*
A life recorded. Every act of Amaziah — his early faithfulness, his borrowed idols, his pride before the fall — preserved in ink.
Scripture reminds us that Amaziah began well. He obeyed God's word when it cost him soldiers and silver (2 Chronicles 25:7–9). Yet victory made him arrogant, and arrogance made him deaf to the prophet's warning (v. 16). His record stands — not as condemnation, but as covenant testimony.
We are each writing something. Not in royal chronicles, but in the quiet ledger of daily choices — how we steward correction, how we receive mercy, how we respond when God speaks through unlikely voices.
Proverbs 4:23 calls us to guard the heart carefully. Amaziah did not. His story remains, a faithful witness to what unchecked pride costs a shepherd of his people.
Walk with that soberly today.
