| Prov 30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:
Prov 30:2 Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man.
Prov 30:3 Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
Prov 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!
Prov 30:5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Prov 30:6 Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.
Prov 30:7 Two things I asked of Thee, Do not refuse me before I die:
Prov 30:8 Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion,
Prov 30:9 Lest I be full and deny Thee and say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.

| Transforming Power Statements:
1) There are a number of obstacles that militate against being content with our lives, therefore, we must devote ourselves to the study and application of the precepts of Scripture and learn to be more receptive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and less to the will of the flesh which is a principal source of opposition to Godly living.
2) A vibrant living Church life where the Word of God is taught and modeled by Godly leadership is the best environment for the cultivation of contentment, and it’s corporate fellowship must give way to the Word of God’s solutions, admonitions, and commandments in order to set all things in order.
3) A constant yielding to the goodness of God and the perfections of His Word must be intentionally chosen by each one who truly desires to live in the bliss of Godly contentment as we have seen in the lives of many in the Word such as Paul and Agur. |
