“Every Word Of God Is Flawless”

The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance. This man’s utterance to Ithiel:

“I am weary, God, but I can prevail.

Surely I am only a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding.

I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.

Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind?

Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth?

What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!

“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

“Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.

Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

Proverbs 30:1-9

We all deal with the stresses of life differently. Moderation is the key to our lives. The Bible tells us, “Give me neither poverty or riches – feed me with the food allotted to me; lest I be full and deny You.”

Discontentment makes rich people poor, while contentment makes poor people rich.
