“In the day of prosperity rejoice”
Eccles. 7:14
Rejoice in our God of all our mercies,
who does us good in His patience & forbearance,
notwithstanding all our unworthiness.
But we may add to it, from the same fountain of wisdom,
Consider, also, lest evil lie at the door.
A man in that state is in the midst of snares.
Satan has many advantages against us;
he forges darts out of all our enjoyments; and,
if we watch not, we will be entangled before we are aware.
John Owen
