Prosperity has a way of deceiving people into thinking all is well. This mindset breeds complacency, which eventually leads us down the path to say “NO” to God. Having this type of mindset shifts our focus from God to self. We can get what we want, when we want, exactly as we desire it. It changes our thinking from being dependent on God, to independence from Him. It’s has no thoughts of our health or our spiritual development, because it redirects our thoughts to “the now”, away from the “bigger picture”. This lie is big in wealthier nations of the world today. Having means allows us the ability to say “NO” to God. When that happens, the only positive side of the outcome is the opportunity to repent, and return to God, which is extremely hard, and rarely happens. Don’t live your life trying to get rich. It’s a deceptive charm that will pull you away from God, leading you down the path of self-destruction.
Let the bountiful table set before them become a snare, and their prosperity become a trap.
Psalms 69:22
