Two things

This is an interesting petition found in the book of Proverbs(chapter 30:7-9)

"Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me; Lest I be full; and deny thee, and say , Who is the L-RD? or lest I be poor, and steal. and take the name of my G-d in vain."

It is good to be content with such things as we have and to be thankful to G-d for them. When we have abundance it gives us a false sense of security and causes us to think we do not need G-d. When we lack the necessities of life we want to curse G-d and blame Him for our lack. Those who have put trust in Yeshua have an inheritance in heaven where moth and rust does not corrupt and thieves do not break in and steal.
