Three daughters which are bred by prosperity

(Thomas Watson, "The Spiritual Watch")

"Keep your heart with all diligence." Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart in time of prosperity. Oftentimes the more
full a man is of the world—the further his heart is from God.
It is hard to abound in prosperity—and not abound in sin. A
full cup is hard to carry, without spilling. The trees are never
more in danger of the wind, than when they full blossom.

Pride, idleness, and luxury—are the three daughters which
are bred by prosperity. Samson fell asleep in Delilah's lap;
millions have slept their way to hell—in the lap of prosperity.
Agur prayed, "Give me not riches" (Proverbs 30:8). He knew
his heart would run wild into sin. The world's golden apple,
bewitches.
