King Uzziah began his reign by seeking God, and the Lord wonderfully helped him. But what happened when this successful king became powerful and proud?

In this episode of Wonderfully Made: Bible Stories for Children, we discover the story of King Uzziah in 2 Chronicles 26.

Uzziah became king of Judah when he was only sixteen years old. As he sought the Lord, God helped him. Uzziah defeated powerful enemies, strengthened Jerusalem, built towers, developed the land, and led a strong army. His fame spread far and wide.

But when Uzziah became strong, his heart became proud.

Uzziah entered the temple and tried to burn incense, something God had appointed the priests to do. When Azariah and eighty courageous priests confronted him, Uzziah became angry instead of listening. The Lord humbled the proud king, and Uzziah lived with a serious skin disease for the rest of his life.

Through Uzziah's story, children will learn that our abilities, success, and strength are gifts from God. No matter how important or successful someone becomes, no one is above God's Word.

In this Bible story for kids, we'll discover:

• How Uzziah became king at only sixteen
• How God helped Uzziah become strong
• Uzziah's victories and accomplishments
• How success led Uzziah to pride
• Why Uzziah entered the temple
• How the priests courageously confronted the king
• How God humbled Uzziah
• Why every king—and every one of us—must remember who the true King is

What happened when the prophet Elisha reached the end of his life?

In this episode of Wonderfully Made: Bible Stories for Children, we come to the final chapter of Elisha's remarkable ministry in 2 Kings 13.

When Elisha became very sick, King Jehoash of Israel came to visit him. Elisha asked the king to take a bow and arrows and gave him one final message from God: the Lord would give Israel victory over Aram.

King Jehoash struck the ground three times, and Elisha told him that Israel would defeat Aram three times.

Then Elisha died.

But an extraordinary event happened at his tomb. When the body of a dead man touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood on his feet!

This remarkable miracle reminds us that the power had never belonged to Elisha, it belonged to God. Elisha's life came to an end, but God's power remained, God's plan continued, and God's Word still came true.

Later, King Jehoash defeated Aram three times, exactly as Elisha had said.

What happened to King Joash after Jehoiada the priest died?

Joash had been protected as a baby, crowned king at seven years old, and guided for many years by the faithful priest Jehoiada. He even helped repair the temple of the Lord. But after Jehoiada died, Joash began listening to different voices, and his choices changed dramatically.

In this episode of Wonderfully Made: Bible Stories for Children, we explore 2 Chronicles 24 and discover how Joash turned away from the Lord, how God repeatedly sent prophets to warn His people, and how Zechariah son of Jehoiada courageously spoke God's warning to the king and the people.

Sadly, Joash refused to listen. His story reminds children that following God isn't something we do simply because parents, teachers, pastors, or other faithful people encourage us.
