Proverbs 30:7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die.
I joke that God made me a worrier so that I would never forget how much I need Him every single day. Honestly, I have embraced that attitude—that my propensity for worry helps me lean into God because I absolutely know I cannot do this life alone.
Proverbs 30:8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.
These verses remind me of that idea. The speaker asks for enough—not too much that he forgets his need of God nor too little so that he feels forced to dishonor God to satisfy human need. “[G]ive me only my daily bread.”
Proverbs 30:9a Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for my daily portion, for the fact that I know You will provide exactly what I need each day. Help me to lean into You, to rest in You, to trust You, to shine Your light, knowing that my daily portion comes from You. Draw me closer. Amen.
Proverbs 30:9b …Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
Have a blessed day.
