1 Timothy 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

Nothing on the outside can condemn or contaminate you…
Matthew 15:10-11, 17-18
And He called the people to Him and said to them, “Hear and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.
…only what is within you.
True humility credits God for every success.
Deuteronomy 8:17
Be careful not to say in your heart, ‘My power and strong hand have made me rich.’
Going with the flow can lead you to believe you are stronger than you are.
Hosea 13:6
When I fed them, they were filled. And when they were filled, their heart became proud and they forgot Me.
Learn to depend on God’s strength.
Take a moment… Does any of this ring a bell
2 Timothy 3:2-4
For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good. [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.
