Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2
“Natural riches have no power to fill the heart’s most yearning affections…Let us be content with what God in his wisdom provides, assured that it is best for us. In envying the good of another, we destroy our own good. There is a higher wealth than gold…Treasures of good affections and true thoughts are worth more than all earthly riches, and will bear us far more safely and happily through the world; such treasures are given to all who will receive them, and given in lavish abundance.”
Timothy Shay Arthur (1809-1885) in True Riches; or, Wealth without Wings (London: J.S. Hodson, 1855) 10-12.
