Day 365: Proverbs 30
According to proverbs chapter 30, the best advice any wise man/woman can give you, is to realize that every word of God is reliable. The other thing is that when you put your trust in God you will find that he is like a shield in any circumstance or challenge of life (30: 5)
If you can ask God anything, what would you ask? Certainly it is a challenge because we normally have a lot of things we want to take care of. How about asking to be an honest and reliable person? There are more people asking for material blessings and human accomplishments than for a good character.
How about asking for God’s provision rather than for our success? Who am I living for? If I am living for the glory of God, everything I will ask will be to please him, but if am living for my ego then everything will be about me.
It is very interesting that the author asked for two specific blessings that we really need to take in consideration, let’s listen to his words:
“Two things I ask for you; do not deny them to me before I die: remove far 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” (30: 7-9)
How many things would you ask? And what are you going to ask? God will be waiting for your request, just make sure you ask for the right thing.
