Short and sweet

Today's post will be short and sweet. Sometimes you have to switch it up...it might get boring reading a post that is super long.

I think today we get way to caught up in wanting what we do not have. We want the latest technology, the coolest clothing, the in and the now.

Proverbs 30:7-9 says: "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."

When Solomon writes, 'give me only my daily bread,' he is asking for one thing. That one thing is a personal relationship with the Father. That is so wise. He is literally saying that if he gets that everyday that is all he will need. He is so right. Jesus is the only thing we need on a daily basis. If we get caught up in too much we will just push God to the side or if we don't get what we want, we question him and say, 'who is the Lord?'

Our daily bread is all we need.

I want to leave you with this verse:

Proverbs 30:5: "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."
