Is prosperity a blessing or a curse?


There seem to be many Christians who think being prosperous is not a good thing.  I happen to disagree.  Here is one example of why I disagree.

Genesis 26:12-14(NKJV)
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 
The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 
for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.

The Lord blessed him with boundless prosperity.  Since we know that God is good and abhors evil it would be totally put of character for God to give evil blessings.  Therefore the only logical inference from that is that prosperity is a good blessing.
