Being rich or wealthy is relative. A person can live a spiritually and emotionally rich and happy life with the little possessions he has compared to someone who has everything at his disposal but still feels empty. This is what happened to the rich young ruler who was unhappy at JESUS' reply (Luke 18:18-23). Whoever loves money never has enough and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied (Ecclesiastes 5:10). Though we need money, we have to be constantly aware that it is the root of all evil and many have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs (1 Timothy 6:10). We simply can't serve both GOD and money (Matthew 6:24). Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death (Proverbs 11:4).
