Give me neither poverty nor riches;The point is, we should not place our focus on earthly possessions, successes, and social standings. Rather we just need enough to stay alive, in order to accomplish our one daily job: Exalt God.
feed me with the food that is needful for me.
Paul says something similar in his first letter to Timothy (6:6,8, ESV),
Godliness with contentment is great gain ... If we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.So today, as we pray, let us thank God for sending us the basic necessities to stay alive: food, clothing, and shelter. Anything we have above and beyond that, we must recognize those as rich blessings from God, and give him due praise.
