Uzziah did what was pleasing to the Lord. It seems clear that if we maintain a position where we are doing what pleases the Lord, then many things prosper under our leadership. Here we read of fertile valleys, a strong army and success over neighbouring nations, not because of talent or strength but as a result of favour.
I guess we easily fall into the trap of "doing" to earn some sort of brownie points instead of simply "being" before God. Our time spent "being", which is prayer, Bible and meditation should always balance or perhaps be much greater than our time spent doing!
