Proverbs 30 gives a prayer I have given God throughout life…I have asked Him to keep me honest, and that God will keep me balanced financially. It is amazing how off-centered man can get when not tuned into God!

When addressing the subject of having integrity, I would say it is found in following Christ and the leading of His Spirit. After all, didn’t Jesus say He was the way, the truth and the life!?

God has the ability to provide exactly what each of us needs. It is interesting that this writer asked God to balance his finances, so that he wouldn’t be begging or become prideful because of the abundance of wealth. I have wondered sometimes if God has not blessed me abundantly because I would become prideful? Each of us needs to thank God for each day’s blessings, that we are not stuck begging for bread. That we are not out there drawing attention to ourselves.
