Hanging with Agur...

For a couple of decades now, I have made a habit along with other devotional plans to read a chapter a day in Proverbs. They are perfectly parallel to 31 days in a month. Yesterday's, Proverbs 30, are not the words of Solomon, but those of an honest and transparent man named Agur. Agur writes, "Surely I am more stupid than any man..." And again, "Two things I request... Remove falsehood and lies far from me and give me neither poverty nor riches..."

Have you ever just woke up and prayerfully seen yourself for who you really are? Agur saw his weakness' and desired nothing more than honesty from his own lips and others around him, as well as authentic contentment, not too much and not too little. His reasoning goes on to say is because if he's too rich he fears he would forget the Lord, and if he was too poor he would more than likely become a thief.

Lord today, may I be honest and content, so my own potential sin nature isn't aloud the opportunity today to bring me and your good name to ruin. Amen!
