The Peril of Prosperity
Multiple commentators, including Spurgeon and Calvin, emphasize that prosperity can be a more severe spiritual test than adversity. The verse uses the imagery of a well-fed animal that becomes proud and kicks its master. This serves as a timeless warning that when God blesses us with abundance, we must guard against the pride and self-sufficiency that leads to forgetting Him.
