Give Me Neither Poverty Nor Riches (Proverbs 30)
Ron: Have you ever prayed for poverty? Well, neither should you pray for riches.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Twice before I left home I was encouraged by the TV news to play the Mega Ball Jackpot. Get rich quick! But maybe wealth is not a good idea. The writer of Proverbs 30 insightfully prays that he not live in poverty or riches. “Being poor might lead to stealing,” he says; “being rich to being self-sufficient and not needing God. Just give me the food I need,” he says.
We often envy the mega-rich; it seems we should pity them. Put away the fantasy of being rich and focus on trusting God as your provider—giving just what is needed—what you probably already have. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
