Proverbs 30:7-9 NIV
"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."
This is a perfect additude right here...he doesn't want too much so he feels he doesn't need God and he doesn't want to little to where he feels he will loose his patience and take survival into his own hands...
I've caught myself wanting too much
The other day at work I acidentally printed off a $200 lottery ticket...the lottery commission couldn't cancel it so we had to sell it...so we got 20 people to chip in $10 and agreed to split the jackpot if we won...
Instantly I started thinking about what I would do if we won..I thought about paying off the church...buying a house...buying a new car...so on and so forth...
But the thing I needed to realize is that God only gives us what we need to glorify Him...yeah a couple million would be nice...but who knows what I would really do with the money
I don't struggle with wanting to little...but I may struggle with the fear of having to little...
I guess what I need to realize here is that God doesn't want me to be so poor that I'm forced to steal to survive...God will always provide for His people...
Well that's that...this was posted from my phone so I hope it turns out ok
