Proverbs 30:7-9 “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.” Disadvantages of wealth or poverty.  Advantages of leading a God pleasing and purposeful life.  That is the life our Heavenly Father wants us to live.  And since that is the life He wants us to live–that is certainly the life we want to live also.
