We can become rich...

Proverbs 28:11 (NIV) A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him. 

We can become rich because of natural wisdom.  But natural wisdom can lead us down the path of pride, where we may begin to think too highly of ourselves.  One danger of having built our wealth is that we may begin to think too highly of ourselves. I am not saying only the wealthy face this problem.  Many other people can become proud.  But for the rich, this is a particularly strong danger. 

If we have been fortunate to be wealthy or to become wealthy one day – it would be good to remember to keep humble before God!  Perhaps, for some of us perhaps not being wealthy may be a blessing – otherwise we may easily become arrogant! What do you think?
