Proverbs 30:8-9

I really liked Oli Stevens' preach from 9th August "Rich Towards God'. One of his points was that storing up money can decensortise you to God, because you no longer need to rely on him. Like putting on a glove – it reduces your sense of touch.

Interesting that in the Lord's prayer it says 'give us our daily bread' i.e. give us just enough for today. As Proverbs 30:8-9 says:

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.
