Proverbs 30:7-9

Two things I have asked of You; do not deny them to me before I die: Keep deception and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is my portion, so that I will not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or that I will not be poor and steal, and so profane the name of my God.

When we keep God in remembrance, we acknowledge that God is our supply. Excess dulls the spiritual heart and takes our eyes off the source of the provision. We may gain an ego and think it is by our abilities that we gain increase. When we focus on God, not possessions, God remains the most crucial source.
