Proverbs 30 Insights by Feranmi Ayeni

 • 

This entire passage packs wisdom after wisdom, unraveling the nature and beauty of the world the Lord has created and the lessons he has hidden in them. Agur’s observations confirm the assertion in Romans 1:20.

 • 

“Empty out of my heart everything that is false— every lie, and every crooked thing. And give me neither undue poverty nor undue wealth— but rather, feed my soul with the measure of prosperity that pleases you. May my satisfaction be found in you. Don’t let me be so rich that I don’t need you or so poor that I have to resort to dishonesty just to make ends meet. Then my life will never detract from bringing glory to your name.” - Proverbs 30:8-9 TPT

 • 

Verses 8 and 9 reflect a genuine, vulnerable and heartfelt prayer. Agar asks God to give him only the level of prosperity that pleases God and will keep his heart sober.

 • 

It is perhaps a prayer each of us need to pray. It’s not a necessarily easy one as it challenges the human need to acquire. Yet to an extent, it is a prayer of protection for our souls. Agur prays, “don’t let me be so rich that I don’t need you, or so poor that I have to resort to dishonesty just to make ends meet. Then my life will never detract from bringing you glory.”

 • 

This implies that there is a level of wealth that could make one get in over their own heads ands it may likely differ per person or may depend on the maturity of the soul. If maturity decides this, then it may mean hat that level of wealth is not fixed and will definitely explain the seasons in our lives, and why God holds off certain blessings for later.

 • 

It also challenges the idea of poverty as preservation for the soul. Agur mentions here that extreme poverty could tempt him to yield to wickedness to survive.

 • 

Praying this requires a certain level of surrender that doesn’t try to force its will on God, completely yielding to His wisdom. It’s the kind of surrender that secures us, and saves us from destruction.

 • 

So will you pray it today that the Lord who knows every crevice of your heart, every underlying tendency that may be hidden from even you, who knows what is too much, too little and just enough, satisfies you and your home, that you may bask in and show forth His glory all the days of your life, in Jesus’ Name. Stay blessed!❤️

Proverbs 30 insights by Divine Ini Obot

This script starts off with an acknowledgement of the unlimited power of God by asking rhetorical questions. It gives an assurance of the pure sure word of God and the protection it gives to those who choose to trust in it. It acknowledges a generation of proud unperturbed people who will not listen to instruction. 

The writer of this script shares with us his view on the never satisfied, wonderful, perturbed, little and majestic part of life on the earth. This chapter of the book of proverbs is a call to every believer to go for knowledge of the Holy One as wisdom and understanding are His and are reserved for those humble in heart.
