Mom Reads Proverbs 30

Hello,

Staying in the truth and walking in middle of the road is the best place to be. It keeps us from being desperately driven to meet basic needs or lost in mindless materialism:

"Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die:
Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the LORD?” or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.
-Proverbs 30:7-9

The poor are stressed, depressed, and driven by their need to escape poverty.  The rich are burdened by their money and isolated from real life by their money.  There's a lot to be said for asking, "feed me with the food that is needful for me."
