What’s the difference between healthy confidence and unhealthy pride?

2 Chronicles 26:16When he had become powerful, he [King Uzziah] also became proud, which led to his downfall. He sinned against the Lord his God by entering the sanctuary of the Lord’s Temple and personally burning incense on the incense altar.

Unhealthy pride is the ingredient that turns healthy confidence to arrogance and cockiness. Thinking you can do no wrong or make it without God will lead you to act without accountability and seek less and less of God’s help. These are warning signs that confidence has turned to arrogance!
