Context Summary

2 Chronicles 26:1-15 - God Made Him To Prosper
The reign of Uzziah was, to all appearance, extremely prosperous; but his personal character deteriorated, as though it could not bear an unbroken succession of prosperity. Proofs of his genius for empire are furnished by his successful wars, 2 Chronicles 26:6-7, his widespread fame, 2 Chronicles 26:8, his buildings and husbandry, 2 Chronicles 26:9-10, and his armies and engines of war, 2 Chronicles 26:11; 2 Chronicles 26:15. In all these "he was marvelously helped." How many can bear the same glad witness concerning God's dealings with them! The best preventive of pride is to recognize all blessing as coming from the marvelous help of God.
When we review our earlier life and think of the position to which God has raised us, can we do other than cry, "Marvelous! Marvelous!" We cannot understand why God has so signally favored us, but we are persuaded that only by His grace we are as we are. Let us not forget that we are made strong in order to help the weak. Whatever we have must be viewed as a precious talent for helping forward the everlasting kingdom of the Lord Jesus. The secret of prosperity is given in Psalms 1:3. [source]
