True wisdom proceeds from God & embraces the riches of knowing & confessing Christ. Our minds need not be fixated on earthly wealth or possessions; our behaviors should oppose earthly immorality, selfishness & desire. Constant fixation on our labors, accomplishments & assets is no more than vanity, leading to despair. Our image, knowledge & actions ought to be shaped by Christ Jesus, for He alone is everything for those who believe in His name. (Psalm 49:1-2, 7–8, 13–14a, 15; Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14, 2:18-26; Colossians 3:1-11; Luke 12:13-21)
