“Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more his fruit, The more altars he made; The richer his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.” Hosea 10:1 (NASB95).

Abundant resources present temptations commensurate with replete supply. God spoke through the prophet Hosea to rebuke Israel for using it’s material wealth to compound idolatry in the nation.
Good stewardship of abundance requires godly character, commitment and devotion. Without it, you'll have a person amply supplied to pursue all manner of wickedness. It is a wonderful thing to have abundant resources dedicated to fulfill God’s purposes.
Abundant resources, however, in the hands of the ungodly, creates weapons of mass destruction.
