2 Chronicles 12 - When Prosperity Blinds: Rehoboam, Shishak, and the Power of Humility

In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we turn to 2 Chronicles Chapter 12, where King Rehoboam’s spiritual negligence brings real consequences. After establishing his rule, Rehoboam and the people of Judah abandon God’s law, prompting Shishak, king of Egypt, to invade Jerusalem. But in the middle of crisis, a message from the prophet Shemaiah calls them back—and humility becomes their lifeline.

This story isn’t just ancient history. It’s a warning and an invitation. We’ll explore how comfort can erode conviction, how repentance must be deeper than regret, and why God’s mercy often meets us in our lowest places. If you’ve ever felt the sting of consequences or the need to recalibrate your priorities, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and practical direction.
