Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
1 Timothy 6:17-19
Always remember that God is in control of everything. He knows what's best for you. Rely on God and do not rely on the material things you have right now.
God can provide everything... God is Our everything.

Well said, lingz.
As you can see plainly in those verses, Paul commands a younger pastor named Timothy to address the tendency among wealthy people to be arrogant in what they have. Yet Paul did not condemn wealth. Rather, the rich ones must be instructed to use their wealth to do good. And by doing so, they lay up for themselves treasures in heaven.
Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. NIV
