My response could have been worded better. I agree there is nothing wrong with having more than we need or striving to acheive more than we have. Our attitude is key. Your reference to Paul’s contentment (Philippians 4:11-13) is spot on. In whatever circumstance he found himself in, he was content. This is the attitude the righteous need to have.

However I disagree that a person who desires more than their necessities is wicked, and maybe you didn’t mean it that way.

People are wicked when they think they have a right to have more than their necessities. I don’t think there is nothing wrong with having more than what we need, nor do I think bad of someone who desires more.

I think those that have more than they need are considered rich. And that is a lot of people I know.

Definition of Rich: Having more than you need.

How do you measure up? Would you call yourself wicked? I will be like paul, content in all situations. God’s grace is sufficient.
