Feed Me
With The Food
I Need
Two things I ask of you; do not deny
them to me before I die: Remove from me falsehood and lying; give me neither
poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that I need, or I shall be full, and
deny you, and say, “Who is the LORD?” or I shall be poor, and steal, and
profane the name of my God.
Some people focus on the five C’s:
Cash, Careers, Cars, Condominiums, and Credit. There might also be another five
some look to: Connectivity, Choices, Cheek (doing things your way), Causes, and Consumers (people who spend first and pay
later). Instead of any of these choices Agur, the
writer of Proverbs 30, asked for two things from God: His grace and His
goodness. He sought the Grace of God to remove lies from his life, and he
sought Goodness from God with God providing what the man needed, no more and no
less. That way he would not become too rich and deny God and he would not be so
poor that he had to resort to stealing.
Which do you desire more? The temporary satisfaction of the five C’s or the rewards of God’s
grace and goodness.
