Proverbs 30:8 - Bible Verse Meaning and Commentary
A man named Agur, writer of proverbs 30, made two requests to God: First, “Remove falsehood and lies far from me” (Prov. 30:8). Integrity is a key to living without anxiety. When we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to fear. Deceit enslaves; honesty liberates. Secondly, “Give me neither poverty nor riches—feed me with the food allotted to me.” Contentment springs from trusting God as our supplier and gratefully accepting what He provides. Integrity and contentment are riches of the soul that are available to all. Our Lord is pleased to give these treasures to everyone who asks.
Contentment does not come from wealth. Discontentment makes us poor while contentment makes us rich!
“Two things I ask of you, LORD; Do not refuse me before I die: 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.”
- Proverbs 30:7-9 NIV
