Give me neither poverty nor riches
Proverbs 30:7-9
Two things have I required of thee: deny me them not before I die.
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches: feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full ( rich), and deny thee and say , Who is the Lord? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
” Give me neither poverty nor riches” means God, do not let me get excessively rich, and give me the impression that I do not need You. Neither make so poor and needy that I will do anything to survive even if it puts Your name in disrepute.
Just give me enough money to meet my needs, not more and not less.
The bible says in 1 Timothy 6:10 that
The love for money is the root of all evil
Scripture also says in Ecclesiastes 10:19 that….money answereth all
Is the bible contradicting itself? No, the bible is only warning us not make money our god, it can do a lot of things but not all things
Dear student, worker and ambassador of Christ, money should not be your only motivation for doing all things in life.
Matthew 6 : 33 says
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and it’s righteousness and all these things shall be added unto it.
God be with you
Suggestions for success
1. Control your love for money. It is the root of all evil
Prayer
Let this hymn be your prayer
Now thank we all our God
With hearts and hands and voices
Who wonderous things has done
In whom this world rejoices
Who from our mother’s arms
Hast blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love
And still it’s ours today
Amen
