The Bible describes true riches as knowing God and being guided by Him, contrasting it with worldly wealth that is temporary.
The Bible teaches that true riches are not found in earthly possessions but in a relationship with God. In Psalm 73, the author realizes that while the wicked may prosper temporarily, they are ultimately poor because they lack the lasting value of God's presence. True wealth is knowing God intimately, as expressed in Psalm 73:25, where the psalmist declares, 'Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.' It emphasizes that understanding and valuing our relationship with God is paramount, and this relationship is what ultimately equips us for eternity.
