Yes, the point you made about seeking our true purpose in life, which is by no means just acquiring material possessions, is spot on. “A man’s life”, said Jesus Christ, “consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15). I sometimes see Christians praying to God and focusing so hard on trying to attain many worldly glories like fancy cars and great houses and I ask myself - why did we become Christians at all? Is it not so that we can learn how to be content, with or without them (Philippians 4:11-12)?

Exactly, we’re meant to be content because we have all we need in him
