Proverb 30

It took me about 3 minutes to read this collection from Agar. In verses 7-9 Agar petitions God for two things; the absence of lying in his life, both internal and external; daily bread, neither too little or too much. One spiritual need that is more than an admirable trait, it displays a part of God's nature in our lives. The second is a display of humility. We live in a society where an abundance of food is a status symbol of wealth. Agar must have lived with a similar status recognition. To request only what is needed shows a desire for what God desires for us as well.  To request these two provisions from God is a prayer to which God will respond with favor and grace.
