Proverbs: Day 30

Proverbs 30

[8] Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
[9] lest I be full and deny you
and say, “Who is the LORD?”
or lest I be poor and steal
and profane the name of my God.
(Proverbs 30:8-9 ESV)

This is a very helpful verse on our view of money. Our trust is to be in God alone and not wealth. He prays that he would not be poor or wealthy in that both positions bring about a temptation to trust in something other than God.
