Being rich is grounded in materialism. Having money, having expensive stuff, and extravagantly displaying both seems both goal and evidence of being rich. Having much, and showing it off.
Juxtapose that existence with one of wealth. Wealth implies being blessed far beyond material things. In fact, a person can be wealthy with very little in the way of material possessions.
Wealth is grounded in assets more than resources. Those assets can include the tangible, yet more often than not, wealth is made up of the intangible: relationships, peace, accomplishment, contentment, servanthood, wisdom.
The pursuit of either richness or wealth is a conscious decision on our part.
Wealth for me, please.
