Henry: the effects of prosperity

Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796
Meditation:
When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me.
—Hosea 13:6 (NIV)

Quotation:
Pride, security, and other sins that are common effects of prosperity, are enemies more dangerous than beasts of the field, and more apt to increase upon us.
... Matthew Henry (1662-1714), Concise Commentary on the Bible [1706], Deut. 7:12-26 in loc (see the book)
See also Hos. 13:6; Deut. 7:12-26; 8:10-14; 31:20; Ps. 127:1; Pr. 18:11-12; Matt. 19:23-24; Luke 6:24-25; 16:13; 1 Tim. 6:17-19; Jas. 5:1-3

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, grant me greater caution with prosperity.
