In the book of Job, Satan tries to turn Job away from God by making him suffer. Job is a good man, and God has blessed him. When God points out Job's faithfulness to Satan, the accuser claims Job would turn away from God if he weren't so well off. God then gives Satan permission to test Job with the stipulation he can't take Job's life. Ultimately Job overcomes the temptation to turn away from God, and he is restored. The story paints a picture that misery would drive someone from God. Other books in the bible, however, show a different truth. In fact, they show the exact opposite. Sometimes it's when we're blessed that we become the most vulnerable to sin.
You can see this all the way back in the beginning with Adam and Eve. They lived in paradise, had all that they needed, and God was with them. They still sinned. This theme persists throughout history. Israel is constantly being lifted up by God only to fall again when he has blessed them. It sums up the book of Judges, and Jesus alludes to it when he warns people about the dangers of wealth. Even Solomon, in all his wisdom, failed to keep God's commandments, and when God passed the kingdom into the hands of Jeroboam, he failed as well. The book of Revelation even prophesies that some will turn from God during the thousand year reign.
People need to be careful and not become complacent with the good he brings us. God wants to bless us, but we have to stay faithful. The bible testifies how easy it is to stumble when things are going our way. Sin is at the door, and it's desire is for us. Never forget to be thankful and keep on the righteous path, and always hold onto faith in God no matter what.
