October 29: Well… I Heard… (gossip)
November 5: It’s a Zoo in Here (wisdom from a few unlikely beasties)

“A Prayer for Enough” by Pastor Ryan Emmons is another sermon in a collection on various topics from the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 30:7-9 (NLT) ; 箴 言 30:7-9 (CUVS)
1 Timothy 6:6-10 (NLT) ; 提 摩 太 前 書 6:6-10 (CUVS)

O God, I beg two favors from you;
    let me have them before I die.
First, help me never to tell a lie.
    Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
    Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?”
    And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.

我 求 你 两 件 事 , 在 我 未 死 之 先 , 不 要 不 赐 给 我 :

求 你 使 虚 假 和 谎 言 远 离 我 ; 使 我 也 不 贫 穷 也 不 富 足 ; 赐 给 我 需 用 的 饮 食 ,

恐 怕 我 饱 足 不 认 你 , 说 : 耶 和 华 是 谁 呢 ? 又 恐 怕 我 贫 穷 就 偷 窃 , 以 致 亵 渎 我 神 的 名 。
