There is no such thing as 'more than their fair share' it only seems that way to some. The reason why they keep getting more is because they boast in their prosperity and that is a perfect example of 'The Law' in action.

I don't intepret this that David was boasting about material prosperity but rather he was stating that when he stepped into the realization of his spiritual identity (which is the authentic source of all prosperity or abundance), he resided in the knowing that it could never be removed.

Just like the mountain his spiritual identity would always stand strong :)

I have to quote Mel Brooks here, "It's good to be the king!"

Now on a more serious note, a king has to be a king to the people, strong, powerful, and extravagant. Think about when you see the Queen of England. She is all decked out in expensive jewels. Just one jewel perhaps cost more than a Mercedes! There is a huge royal event and everyone says "Ahh! I have to see the Queen! She is coming to visit my land today!"

People have to respect the king. He has to appear better than everyone else, so people can say, "He is worthy to lead us!" So David had to live up to being a king for his people, however not only this: All the other kings of the other lands had to respect and fear him to know not to try to overthrow him. "He is a strong king- his people love him. We had better not attack."

If he appeared meek and humble, he wouldn't have been the king very long before being overthrown- either from within or without.

I don't know the context of the rest of the bible passage but just reading the part you posted, it sounds like he is boasting about spiritual wealth - not physical wealth.

About others having more than their share in the physical world, well life is unfair, it just is the way it is and nobody has the truth of that answer. Some "babies" are just born into that wealth or whatever it may be. Like Kings Mind says, there are different perspectives of it that make the difference, at least in this case.

To boast in your prosperity is to attract even more for Jesus said to those that have more shall be given and those that have not even that which they have shall be taken away. This wasn't cruelty as Jesus was simply stating the fact of the LAW OF ATTRACTION at work. In other words those that have no matter if it be spiritual, posetions, money, love or whatever will get more if they feel and know a sense and feeling of having and those that dont will lose even that which they have for they are feeling lack.

You need to feel within that you are already fulfiled with what you want and you will have it. If you feel lack and dispair than that is what you will atract.

Feeling love attracts love, feeling rich attracts riches, feeling happy attracts happiness, feeling at peace attracts peace, feeling misery attracts misery, feeling poor attracts poverty and so on. Yes go ahead and brag and be full of yourself for than you too shall have that which you brag about. Of course you have to feel it not just boast. By the way be careful who you boast to for you might just upset some jelous people that can't tolorate others happiness. It is best to boast to yourself when you are allone that way you upset no one.

I boast in your prosperity.
