It’s a sad fact of life that many believers who experience prosperity fall prey to a proud and haughty spirit, and no longer trust in the Lord for anything. Because they are prosperous, they think that they will ALWAYS be prosperous, and therefore, well able to provide for their own needs—whatever they may be!
What a truly sad state of affairs for a follower of Jesus Christ to “forget” their Savior, as the following Scriptures will demonstrate:
. . . lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery . . . (Deut 8:12-14 ESV)
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scornfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation. (Deut 32:15 NKJV)
When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me. (Hos 13:6 NIV)
This article is merely a timely warning to us all that we NOT become complacent, but rather, let us continue to read and meditate upon the Bible regularly. Let us continue to pray to the Lord, and to thank Him and praise Him for all of our many blessings. Let us remember that it is the LORD who upholds and sustains our very lives.
All that we have and all that we are is thanks to the Lord, our Creator and Savior. Let’s give Him the praise, honor and glory that He deserves. Hallelujah!
