Two Things asked from the Lord

In proverbs 30:7-9 two things were asked from the Lord.

Away from futility and wrong words.
Neither rich nor poor.

The first is concerned with our mouth and words.
Right speech and proper words are wisdom fountain in our lives.

Those who are trustworthy are people of integrity and with his words.

The second is related to our standard of living maintained in this worldly life.

Rich people can be proud and forget of the givenness of life from the Lord.
Rich ones can be haughty and look down upon the poor.


Poor people on the other hand can be too self -pity that they cannot enjoy life,to the point of grasping hold of what not belonging from themselves.


It's therefore wise to pray as the author in this verse to the Lord.

Help us be proper in our words and not going astray.
Grant us this day our daily bread that's enough just for this day withour too much and insufficient. To help ourselves to be the right person.
