We hold all things in common, for everything we own belongs to God. The competition of who has and who doesn't is eliminated. Hard work, diligent industry, good stewardship, along with keeping waste and frivolous expenses to a bare minimum, all work to assure that we will prosper even when times are hard. Of course these characteristics are the result of obedience to the wisdom God gives us. We give God all the glory, for without Him we can do nothing.
