"In my prosperity I said,
'This is forever;
nothing can stop me now!
The Lord has shown my His favor.
He has made me steady as a mountain.'
Then, Lord,
you turned your face away from me
and cut off your river of blessings.
Suddenly my courage was gone;
I was terrified and panic-stricken."

~ Psalm 30:6 & 7 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Prosperity had made David (writer) feel invincible. Although he knew his riches and  power had come from God, they had gone to his head; making him proud. Wealth, power, and fame have an intoxicating effect on people, making them feel self-reliant, self-secure, and independent of God. But this is a false security that is easily shattered.. Don't be trapped by the false security of prosperity. We are to depend on God for our security, then we won't be shaken when worldly possessions disappear."
