Money makes you think things about yourself that aren't true.

Is your prosperity producing pride or praise? Money can make us think we’re superior, powerful, safe and secure; our wealth can convince us we are wise. Our money, the stuff we can do with money, has power and when it goes to our head, pride plants itself and makes us think things about ourselves that aren’t true. A whole lot more of what we’ve done is in partnership with God than we think it is. We worry about creating prosperity and forget about the creator who didn’t create us for the stress that pride causes us to bear. So let’s remember to depend on the Lord as much in prosperity as we do in adversity.
