Always remember that it is the LORD
your God who gives you power to become rich,
and he does it to fulfill the covenant
he made with your ancestors.
There are many ways to become rich, but the riches that come from God are something for which you can’t take credit. If you do that, you’re taking credit from God and claiming that things were done through your own power and will. Job became rich, but he knew the blessings were from God. Solomon became the richest person ever, but he also recognized that the blessings were from God. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 5:19, “And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—that is indeed a gift from God.” As you pursue great things for Him, thank Him for the power to become rich.

let us remember that all things come from God. He owns everything. (bad things...are good things messed up by us people!!!!) There is nothing for us to boast with.
Praise the Lord in what you have right now. He allowed us to have these because He loves to see us happy. Let us not abuse His goodness.
