There are seasons to everyone's lives. In lean seasons, we often find our hearts set on God moment by moment, but in prosperous times when our hearts are a little fat and happy and blessed, they can be filled with pride. Today we are looking at the first two things that tend to go when prosperous times come our way. But we'll also explore a few ways to prove faithful in times of plenty or in want,
