Prosperity
Prosperity is more pleasant than profitable to us. Though in show it look
like a fair summer, yet it is indeed a wasting winter and spends all the
fruit we have reaped in the harvest of sanctified affliction.
We are never in greater danger than in the sunshine of prosperity. To be
always indulged of God, and never to taste trouble, is rather a token of
God's neglect than of his tender love.
