"I beg two favors ... "

Prov 30 vs 7-9  (NLT)
7"O God, I beg two favors from you;let me have them before I die"

8"First, help me to never tell a  lie. Second ,give me neither poverty or riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs."
9"For if I grow rich,I may deny you and say,"who is the Lord?" And if I am to poor  I may steal and thus insult your Holy name"


   I just love Agur in Proverbs he begs from God first not to lie ! Then to have just enough . Have you ever said "Oh if I only had" You may get that and then it is well "If I only had" . Sometimes it seems we never have enough. We never have enough to give to help others. We never have enough to give God His tithe. We never have enough to be happy. And on and on we can go.
  I Timothy 6 v 8-10 tells us if we have food and clothes we should be content "satisfied, Happy" Then it tells us in Verse 10 that the love of money is the root of all evil. WOW! Are you begging God to have just what you need or do you need more?

How about we at least try begging God ourselves to not lie. Be a truthful person a person people can look at and never doubt our words.

Then Beg God for just enough not to much or to little . Ask Him to help you know what a need is and what a want is! And rather than gathering your treasures here on Earth why not start storing some up in Heaven!

One of my Favorite movies is Hello Dolly. She told Horace (a man she loved yet was a hoarder of money ) that you have to spread your money around like manure encouraging young things to grow!
Lets spread our money, our time and our resources around encouraging Gods Kingdom to grow! 


Come Chicks lets make a difference and lets start Begging,
