Proverbs 30:8b ...give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs, 9 For if I grow rich, I may deny You & say "Who is the Lord?" & if I am too poor, I may steal & thus insult God's holy name. (NLT)
An interesting thought from the writer of Proverbs, especially in the kind of cultural paradigm in which we live in here in America.
What is "just enough"?
The NIV says, "give me only my daily bread"
NASB says, "Feed me with the food that is my portion" - hmmmmmmmmmm...
The Message reads, "enough food to live on, neither too much nor too little."
KJV says, "feed me with food convenient for me"
How much do we need? How much is enough?
