Day 30: Proverbs Road Trip

Proverbs 30:7 - 8 O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die. First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.

I like that! “Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.” I am so grateful to God for meeting my needs. He’s never failed. He never will. The only time I get into trouble is when I want more than I need or misuse what had been given to be to meet my needs.

I don’t want to live “poor”; thinking that I never have enough. And I don’t want to live “rich”; acting as if it’s all mine and I can waste it. Just enough is good enough.

If I have to be poor, let it be that I am poor in pride.

If I have to be rich, let it be rich in God’s mercy and grace.

Goal for today: Appreciate God’s blessings a little bit more than usual.
