So....you think if YOU won the lottery, YOU could resist Satan’s temptations?
So true, so true, it is hard to resist the world.
It is certainly a difficult thing. I believe that, just as God "gives us power to get wealth" (Deut. 8:18) He also keeps some people poor(er) to keep them from temptation due to their lack of self-discipline.
Years ago, I came across the phrase "sudden wealth destroys a man" in a Christian book. I believed, for years, that it was a direct quote from Proverbs - I've never found it, however. The closest thing I've found was this prayer for middling wealth:
Two things I ask of you;
deny them not to me before I die:
Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
lest I be full and deny you
and say, "Who is the LORD?"
or lest I be poor and steal
and profane the name of my God.
-- Proverbs 30:7-9
