Chris.
When good
things happen to us we should not become proud. We should always give thanks to
the Lord for His Hand on our lives. The ultimate goal of God’s Blessing on us
is that we might Glorify Him. If we are proud about everything we have or that
we have achieved then we really mess up our relationship with God and we go off
in the wrong direction.
