So many people think that wealth and possessions are what they truly want, but there's something far better. Aren't the things described here what everyone longs for? There is true wealth in peace with God, wholesome living, and gaining honor by being a person of character. This lifestyle involves possessing the wisdom to acquire and manage wealth properly, so that it's truly a blessing—not only to oneself but others as well. The way to get what we want most in life is to seek God's ways and his wisdom. Don't seek wealth; seek wisdom instead! Only a life lived God's way leads to true riches, honor, and justice.
