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 30:8b-9 NIV
The world would have you believe life centers around the almighty dollar, but there’s something far more important than the balance of your bank account. The writer of this proverb placed more value on his relationship with God than financial gain. The wisdom of his request challenges me to do the same.
