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.

Proverbs 13:25). A righteous person will be content with the necessities of life. He will be happy with what God has blessed him with. A wicked person will desire more than necessities. He will want his desires and lusts to be gratified. He will not be content with his lot in life. God never promises to fulfill our desires, He promises to provide for our needs. The two are not the same.

I found this today searching for a devotional on Proverbs 16:3. How amazing it was that I actually knew the author.

This is truly a blessing. I’m glad you are keeping the blogging up. It is important to share the Word in a way that can speak to people’s situations now. We hope to see you soon! Love to the fam!
