2 Kings 18:5-8 NASB

He trusted in the Lord , the God of Israel; so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him. For he clung to the Lord ; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses. And the Lord was with him; wherever he went he prospered. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

Hezekiah trusted the Lord and held tightly to His commandments and thus the Lord was with Him. as such he was blessed. he did not serve other nations but triumphed over them. when we trust and obey the Lord and hold on to Him tightly as our lifeline,  we will not need to trust in self made things and will instead receive His victory and blessing. I have to learn to trust in the Lord fully and not trust in my own strength.
